Scott Turner's at times curious play-calling and the underwhelming results that ultimately derailed the Washington Commanders season cost him his job as offensive coordinator.
The son of longtime coach and coordinator Norv Turner spent the past three years running Washington’s offense after joining Rivera from Carolina, where they worked together before a midseason coaching change in 2019.
While using eight different starting quarterbacks during Turner’s tenure, Washington’s offense rarely got the ball moving consistently, especially in the passing game. The team had the league’s third-worst offense in 2020 and ranked 21st overall in 2021. Play-calling came under fire late in the season, especially after Rivera decided to go back to Carson Wentz as starting quarterback and away from Taylor Heinicke. The Commanders went 0-3-1 down the stretch when they controlled their chances of making the playoffs, culminating withthat contributed to them being eliminated from contention.
Asked before the season finale if he was worried about his job security, Turner said: “That’s just part of this league. It could happen. It could happen to anybody. It’s happened to guys when they don’t expect it. It’s happened — whatever.”The Commanders are now looking for an offensive coordinator as part of an offseason that could also include them getting a new owner and quarterback.
“If you look at a lot of the teams that do end up at the end where they are, most of them rush for well over 1,000 ,” Rivera said. “They control the tempo of the game, and I think that’s what we need to do to win football games.”AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl and https://twitter.com/AP_NFL
