The Las Vegas Raiders have hired Norv Turner as an offensive assistant according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com.
The 72-year-old last worked as an offensive coordinator for the Panthers in 2019, when Carolina ranked 29th in points per game and 24th in yards per game. Turner will reportedly help guide the lifeless Raiders offense alongside his son, Scott Turner, who will serve as the team’s new offensive coordinator after the Raiders fired OC Luke Getsy this week.
This is Turner’s second stint with the Raiders; he was the team’s head coach from 2004-2005. He’ll try to turn around a Vegas offense that ranks dead last in EPA per play and 25th in offensive success rate. It’s unclear who will be the team’s starting QB under Turner.
