It’s been 20 years since Norv Turner roamed the sideline for the Raiders. It’s been five years since he roamed an NFL sideline at all. But today, he’s back, folks. Tuesday it was reported that in the wake of the Raiders firing Luke Getsy as offensive coordinator, they have hired former head coach Norv Turner.
The #Raiders are hiring one of the NFL’s most respected offensive minds, bringing in Norv Turner as an assistant to help guide their offense, per me, @MikeGarafolo and @TomPelissero.

Turner’s son Scott was already on the Raideres’ staff. Many have suspected Scott would be taking over offensive play calling duties with Getsy out. And that’s still possible. But whatever role he has, he will have his dad to help him out.
Turner is one of several longtime former NFL head coaches the Raiders brought in this offseason along with Tom Coughlin and Assistant Head Coach Marvin Lewis.
