Biography

SCOTT TURNER enters his first season with the Jets as the team's senior assistant/pass game coordinator, bringing 13 years of NFL experience to the team. He most recently served as the pass game coordinator and interim offensive coordinator with the Las Vegas Raiders.

During the 2024 season, Turner served as the Raiders pass game coordinator the first nine games of the season before being named the team's interim offensive coordinator in November. The offense saw improvement in all major categories under his leadership, increasing from 280.9 yards per game to 320 in the final 10 games of the season. Additionally, the offense averaged 245.9 passing yards per game Weeks 11-18, the seventh best mark in the League, despite starting three quarterbacks during that time.

Under Turner's guidance, the Raiders were one of just three teams to have multiple players record 1,000+ receiving yards last season (2024). rookie tight end Brock Bowers established the single season record for most receptions by a rookie tight end (112), most receiving yards by a rookie tight end (1,149), and most receptions by a rookie in NFL history (112). Under Turner, Bowers became the fourth rookie tight end since 1960 to earn first-team All-Pro honors and the first to do so since 2002 (Jeremy Shockey). Additionally, Turner saw wide receiver Jakobi Meyers haul in a career high 1,027 receiving yards, marking his first 1,000+ season in the NFL.

In 2023, Turner helped Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell finish the season with the third most passing yards (2,218), second most wins (five), and second-best completion percentage (62.1%) among all rookie QBs, despite being the eighth QB selected in his draft class.

Prior to Las Vegas, Turner spent three seasons (2020-22) as the offensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders. During that time, wide receiver Terry McLaurin was one of eight players in the NFL to record three consecutive seasons of 1,000+ receiving yards.

Turner served as the quarterbacks coach for the Carolina Panthers during the 2018 and 2019 seasons where he was promoted to interim offensive coordinator for the final four games of 2019.

Prior to Carolina, he spent the 2017 season at Michigan as an offensive analyst under Head Coach Jim Harbough. Before Michigan, he served as the quarterbacks coach with the Minnesota Vikings from 2014-16. As a rookie under Turner's guidance, quarterback Teddy Bridgewater threw for 2,919 passing yards, the second-highest mark among all rookie QBs in the League that season. Turner helped Bridgewater earn a Pro Bowl selection in his second season in 2015 as the Vikings won their first division title in six years. Turner spent the 2013 season as the wide receivers coach with the Cleveland Browns, where wide receiver Josh Gordon led the NFL with 1,646 receiving yards. Gordon's 1,646 receiving yards are the most in a single season in Browns franchise history.

From 2011-12, Turner served as an offensive quality control coach with the Carolina Panthers. Prior to his NFL career, he spent time at the University of Pittsburgh (2008-10) as an offensive assistant and Oregon State (2005) as a graduate assistant.

Originally from Oakton, VA, Turner is the son of former NFL Head Coach Norv Turner. The two coached together in Carolina, Minnesota, and Cleveland. Turner played quarterback at UNLV (2002-04) and earned his degree in psychology in 2005 before starting his coaching career. Turner and his wife, Robyn, have two children, a son, Harry, and a daughter, Rose.
