Turner says there’s enough versatility within the offensive system to fit their scheme to the personnel. That starts with really getting to know the players on this roster.

Turner said he thought there was a chance he would become #Redskins OC when Ron Rivera became the head coach. Turner coached four seasons with Rivera in Carolina.

Scott Turner says he "had an indication" he would get a chance as Redskins offensive coordinator, and he presented Ron Rivera with his plan for the offense and for developing Dwayne Haskins. The offer came and he jumped on it.

Asked about his dad's time and departure with the Redskins, Scott Turner says "it's a business." Turner says he considers DC home.

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) January 15, 2020

Turner said he considers Washington home because he moved here when he was 11 and his dad wasn’t fired until Scott was a senior in high school.

Scott Turner calls the job a dream come true, surreal.

— Kareem Copeland (@kareemcopeland) January 15, 2020

“We’re evaluating everything. ...We’ll look at free agency and the draft” to obtain talent to bolster the tight end position. Tight end is a huge part of Turner’s system, so the team is looking at Jordan Reed and what’s on the roster but also elsewhere for talent. #HTTR

Turner said he’ll be in charge of the game planning with the offensive staff but that there will be transparency between them and head coach Ron Rivera. #Redskins

— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) January 15, 2020

Scott Turner says it's his offense and he will install and build game plans. But “If there’s something he’s not comfortable with, he’s the head coach. We're not going to do it.”

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) January 15, 2020

Turner said Rivera has done a great job in the past of “letting the offense run.” Sounds like that will carry over to the #Redskins

"Guys see when it's there, and guys see when it's not."

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) January 15, 2020

Scott Turner mentions commitment level as key for QBs. Have to be the most committed guy in the building. Teammates and coaches need to see that. That’s how leadership is developed. #redskins
