Does Scott Turner owe his NFL success to his father's legacy, or is it his own talent?

Norv Turner is a proud dad! NFL veteran coach is making waves to join his son’s team Raiders. He recently took charge as Raiders’ senior advisor and offensive consultant. And, interestingly, his NFL son, Scott Michael Turner, also served as the team’s passing game coordinator with the Raiders.

Norv, 72, and his wife Nancy Turner are the parents to two proud kids. Like Scott, their daughter, Stephanie Turner, is also renowned in the American film industry. No one is as proud as the former Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator dad, of his son and daughter’s notable achievements.

Just like his dad, Scott Turner has also become a distinguished name in the NFL coaching world. Recently, the Raiders appointed him as interim offensive coordinator. He also has 12 years of coaching experience in the NFL. Since Scott started his coaching career in 2011 with the Carolina Panthers, he worked with multiple teams.

 

Interestingly, after serving as the offensive quality control coach with the Panthers, he got the opportunity to work under his dad for the Browns. He joined as the Browns’ wide receivers coach while his dad was serving as the offensive coordinator in 2013.

And, Scott continued to follow his father’s path in the NFL. A year later, the dynamic father-son duo joined the Vikings. In 2014, Scott served as the quarterback coach under his former NFL HC dad’s guidance.

Impressively, not only as an assistant coach Scott solidified his status, but his period as an offensive coordinator is also notable. He worked for the Washington Football Team / Commanders for nearly around 2 years. Besides that, he also served as an offensive analyst for the Wolverines in 2017. And, now, once again, he got the major opportunity to work under his dad with the Raiders.

Apparently, Jr. Turner has been involved with football since his academic years. Before becoming the NFL coach, he played for the University of Nevada, Las Vegas at the quarterback position.

Apart from his NFL career milestone, his bond with Norv Turner also caught attention many times. When he made his return to the Panthers in 2019 as an interim offensive coordinator, his dad’s reaction went viral. “That was Scott’s job,” Norv Turner remarked. It indeed showcased his involvement in his son’s career. The athletic environment his dad provided helped Scott to shape his NFL trajectory.

Other than his son, Raider’s senior advisor equally motivated his daughter, Stephanie.
