HE SAID IT: "I just want to congratulate Coach Turner on having the opportunity to win his 250th game. During my time playing for him I witnessed him do so many great things for so many people. He makes all of his players want to play hard for him. I remember visiting practice while I was in college and just seeing him running up and down the field being in tune with his players. When you have a coach like that, it's easy to want to play hard for him." - Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle and former Chamberlain player Brodrick Bunkley
