Colts hire former Bears-OC Ron Turner

Ron Turner's agent says that Turner is joining the Colts staff, but is uncertain of his role at the moment. The move is fueling speculation that Colts OC Tom Moore may be retiring, with Clyde Christensen taking his place and Turner filling Christensen's role.
Tom Moore had joked after his return from a near retirement of pension issues that he would coach until he was kicked out, so a retirement would be a surprise.
Turner had two stints as the Bears OC, with a stay as the head coach of Illinois between them. He was fired last season by the Bears who brought in Mike Martz to replace him.

ugh
not happy. Very questionable.
As long as we have Peyton (and no surprise gay onside kicks are made) we will always have a chance to win.
Yeah if I'm not so sure about this hiring.
I’d be surprised if he’s more than anything other than assistant but still…..

Oh, please, please, please
STAY Tom!
And so the drama begins….gotta love the offseason – not.

Perhaps
He’s just being brought in as a running game coordinator/consultant. An outside perspective may prove fruitful.

Tom Moore?
Isn’t he a OC consultant or is he the OC? I thought the deal was that both Moore and Mudd came back as consultants and not into formal coaching positions.
I think Moore may coach until #18 decides to hang it up.

hey that clipboard doesn't carry itself!
it hurt his shoulder last season.

just think
it could have been Peyton’s shoulder that collapsed under the weight of the clipboard, but we have Sorgi to run that risk instead.

And that's why he gets paid the big bucks.

changed my mind
this obviously doesn’t matter.
Peyton.
Manning.
Im a douchebag and an asshole. (The sex one wasn't funny)
I don't want to see Moore go
but Christensen put in the 3rd down offense, which is pretty damn good.

i dont want moore to go, either
but Ive been banging the ‘this whole team is Peyton Manning’ drum pretty loudly the past few weeks. Clearly, if I believe that (which I do), then this doesn’t matter.
Im a douchebag and an asshole. (The sex one wasn't funny)
*caveat
whomever takes over the offense doesn’t try to tell Peyton Manning how to be the best ever.
Im a douchebag and an asshole. (The sex one wasn't funny)
PS
Tom Moore would have let Peyton Manning go for 3,000 posts.
Just sayin’.

LOL.

Whoa! And he was just announced as the QB coach and OC for Stanford
Man, Harbaugh’s gonna be pissed.

I’m pissed – I was hoping to see worse production out of their WRs, LOL
How can you not love a team that does this?
I don't see how you can assume that he
would decrease Stanford’s production.

Ahhhh... nothing like seeing a 5 year old meme find continuing life at Stampede Blue
So on that note:

While I don't like this move
I approve of the comments in this thread. Funny stuff.
"Ron Turner" sounds like a '70s porn name, so that's pretty cool
Sucks otherwise, though.
Nothing's complicated if you understand it.
Moore likely gone
Someone I know well asked Moore after the SB, and Moore said he was retiring. Now, this could have been heat-of-the-moment talk and he could change his mind, but the Turner hiring tells me the Colts know something is up.
I don't like this at all
but if it results in just some tweaking on offense (specifically, getting even more aggressive), I’ll be at neutral
How can you not love a team that does this?
I'm not going to pre-judge anything
Let’s see what his role is and give him a chance to prove himself before we leap for the baseball bats.
I like this approach.

From Oehser:
Of Senior Offensive Coordinator Tom Moore, the offensive coordinator since 1998, he said, "Tom’s been great for us.
"I’m anticipating he’s coming back," Caldwell said. "It’s still up in the air. Because we played so late, our situation is a lot different than others, and we’ll take that every year. Right now we’re still in the stage of making certain we get guys in place."
"It's the greatest job in the world until Peyton comes off the field and you think his thumb might be broken and there's three minutes left in the AFC Championship Game and you're down by three to New England and you haven't taken a snap all year. Yeah, it's a great job until that point." - Jim Sorgi
How does Ron Turner keep landing a job in football....
This guy was a hot mess at Illinois and he was even worse in Chicago. How in the world could he possibly make an improved to the Colts??? Unless our goal is for the offense to get worse.
The only football job Ron Turner is qualified for is tackling dummy….
