Scott Turner persuaded his mother to Norv Turner’s comeback
Well, you heard it right: when you can’t persuade your wife, the greatest approach is to utilize your son. And Norv Turner did the same, revealing that Scott Turner was the one who helped him. Following his original retirement after 2019, the man’s comeback seems improbable. But the Carolina Panthers made it happen, and he will be joining the team’s offensive staff soon.
The dad acknowledged his son’s involvement in this, saying, “That was Scott’s job.”Talking about the marriage, Norv and Nancy Turner are presently living in one of the most beautiful homes. They have a craftsman-style beach cottage bungalow which is present behind the village of Del Mar.
