The reason he wasn't very successful as a head coach is because a head coach does at least twice the work of an offensive coordinator in conventional coaching scenarios. He wasn't able to handle the other aspects of managing a football team, and his leadership skills were sub par at best.
So then you would agree that the more work Turner was asked to do, the more it became apparent that he probably was not the best man for the job. Wouldn't it make sense then that he probably wasn't the best man for the OC job either, but found success behind some very talented players?
