Guy who plays Turk on Scrubs applies for Offensive Coordinator job with Chiefs

LOS ANGELES – Donald Faison, a television actor most well known for his role as Christopher Turk on the ABC semi-hit comedy Scrubs has applied for the job as the Chiefs Offensive Coordinator, citing his experience playing for Denzel Washington, who played Herman Boone, the head coach on Remember the Titans.

Faison, who played the back-up running back, turned defensive back star with a bad attitude, Petey, did not play football in high school, but he said just hanging around the guy who played the guy on Remember the Titans should be good enough to earn himself a job with the Chiefs.

“Oh yeah, I learned tons of stuff,” said Faison, who is actually more of a basketball fan, but thought this was a good opportunity if (when) Scrubs gets canceled this year. “I didn’t actually talk to coach Boone directly, and, technically, I didn’t talk to Denzel either, that guy is kind of a dick. But I did spend some time with the technical consultants, who taught me how to back pedal as a defensive back, and how to look convincing as I fumbled the ball.”

Todd Haley, head coach and current offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs, said that even though Faison’s acting in Remember the Titans means he’s spent more time on the field as a player than Haley, it doesn’t qualify him to coach the Chiefs’ offense.

“Come on guys, what’s he going to teach us? How to fumble the ball effectively and quit on the team?” asked Haley. “Have you not been watching this season? We’re already pretty good at both of those things.”

Larry Johnson could not be reached for comment.
