Link is here.

This is surprising. Sure they haven't run well in APs absence, and are on a 2 game losing streak, but he was also the best offensive mind on the team!

I dont know if he'll get a job before the offseason, but I dont imagine he'd come here to replace Loggains.

Resign or you will be fired!

Normally they make you fire them, guess he is ready to enjoy retirement.

He was doing a good job with Bridgewater's growth pre-injury, but now he's missing his young QB and all-star ageless RB, and their fill-ins are playing behind a crummy line. You'd think he'd get a pass on this season (maybe he would had they gotten Bradford for a second round pick or lower).

Either way, if he doesn't retire, he coukd be in the pool of OCs for us if we go in a new direction. I like what he had been doing with Bridgewater, it would be nice if he could work with a rookie QB here.

Seems like they might be hitting the panic button a little early if Turner was really fired. I'm not sure if I believe he was. The Bears strength at d-line really exploited a weakness on the Vikings. You can't put that on Turner can you?

Zimm just said it was for personal reasons. I hear the plan was Turner was only going to stay through 2016 anyways.

Seems quite odd

The Oline is the reason for their offensive demise. To pin what is happening there on the OC is them needing a scapegoat. The GM should issue a mea culpa to the team.

Was Norv on a 2 year contract?
This is all about Sam Bradford and his friendship with Shumur, his coach on the Rams/Eagles.
I can see Norv coming to be HC for the Bears.
Wonder if his brother suggested he come to the Bears?
Not sure if Norv wants to face Zimmer twice a year though.

The timing is a little odd...but judging from Zimmer's press conference there is no bad blood between the 2
