Scott Turner spent three seasons as the offensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders under Ron Rivera. After the 2022 season, Rivera fired Turner in an attempt to take the heat off himself and made the ill-fated decision to replace him with former Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy.
We know how that ended for all involved. As for Turner, he quickly landed the Las Vegas Raiders as their pass game coordinator, where he remained into the 2024 season before a promotion to interim offensive coordinator when Luke Getsy was fired.
After the season, Las Vegas fired head coach Antonio Pierce, meaning Turner was looking for work again. On Saturday, the man who replaced Turner in Washington, Bieniemy, landed back in the NFL with the Chicago Bears as their new running backs coach.
On Sunday, it was Turner’s turn. The New York Jets hired Turner as their new pass game coordinator under new head coach Aaron Glenn. Turner gives the Jets an experienced voice for first-time coordinator Tanner Engstrand.

During his three seasons in Washington, Turner’s offenses were ranked 30th, 21st and 20th in total offense. The Commanders were even worse in Bieniemy’s lone year.
