Norv Turner is rumored to be joining former understudy Rob Chudzinski in Cleveland, this time in Cleveland as the former San Diego Chargers' head coach is believed to be a part of the Browns' new coaching staff.

Working together in 2009 and 2010, Rob Chudzinski was serving as Turner’s assistant head coach and tight end coach. During that time, the San Diego Chargers boasted the NFL’s top ranked offense in 2010. According to CBS Radio’s Keith Britton, Norv Turner is expected to join Chudzinski’s coaching staff, but there is no report on what capacity.

Fired this off-season, Norv Turner had been the San Diego Chargers’ head coach from 2007-12. Several teams were rumored to be interested in him, and his near-30 years of NFL coaching experience -- but ultimately it appears the Browns moved quickly to wrap up two of the league’s top offensive minds.

Both known for their love of the tight end position, Chudzinski and Turner will likely employ the same principles in Cleveland.
