Found this on Wiki:

During the 1952 NFL season, Turner was both a player for the Chicago Bears and an assistant coach responsible for instructing the guards and centers.

In January 1953, after retiring as a player, Turner was hired as an assistant line coach at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. He had a ranch in nearby Gatesville, and was responsible for coaching the offensive centers and defensive linebackers. He resigned his post at Baylor in February 1954.
Turner was an assistant coach for the Bears from 1954 to 1957. He worked from the pressbox and communicated by telephone to George Halas about weaknesses he had observed in opponents' defenses. He gave up his job with the Bears in 1958 to devote his full efforts to his ranch in Texas.

Because this was LONG ago, most of the younger Baylor fans don't really know how great this man was as both a player , coach and man. THE BEST !

---

Even this one in 1972, Roger Goree. He was one of the saving graces during the Beall years

---

who is he?

As a current student with core memories of the Case after the blackout in '13 and a game vs tamu in '08 seeing all of these pics from the 10s-80s is wild to me. My dad attended from '74-'80 so I love seeing what campus might have looked like back then or before
