Norv Turner joins Raiders as adviser; Scott Turner interim OC

HENDERSON, Nev. — Former Raiders coach Norv Turner, who has also been a head coach for two other franchises and an offensive coordinator for seven others, is joining the Raiders as a senior adviser, the team announced Tuesday.

The Raiders, mired in a five-game losing streak to fall to 2-7 heading into their bye week, fired offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, quarterbacks coach Rich Scangarello and offensive line coach James Cregg following Sunday’s 41-24 loss at the Cincinnati Bengals.

Also Tuesday, the Raiders announced that Turner’s son, Scott Turner, will be the interim offensive coordinator, and senior offensive assistant Joe Philbin the interim offensive line coach.

The younger Turner has been the Raiders’ pass game coordinator and was Washington’s offensive coordinator from 2020 to 2022.

Norv Turner, 72, joins a staff with plenty of experience purportedly to help Pierce, in his first full season as an NFL head coach.

Also on Pierce’s staff: Philbin, 63, who spent four years as the Miami Dolphins head coach; assistant head coach Marvin Lewis, 66, who spent 16 season coaching the Bengals; and two-time Super Bowl-winning head coach Tom Coughlin, 78, who has been a consultant to Pierce.

Turner watched a Raiders training camp scrimmage in Costa Mesa, California, in August.
