The Washington Commanders fired offensive coordinator Scott Turner two days after the 2022 regular season ended after three seasons with the team.
The writing was on the wall for Turner after a Washington Post story late in the season featured at least 10 Washington players unhappy with the offense. Some players felt Turner would often overthink things and had issues with play-calling.
The criticism of Turner was fair. However, what’s also important to note is that Washington started eight quarterbacks in Turner’s three years as offensive coordinator. It was certainly time for a change, but not everything was Turner’s fault.
Who replaces Turner?
Washington’s search will feature plenty of veteran coaches with an emphasis on running the football. Remember general manager Martin Mayhew’s odd comments after the season about wanting a run/pass ratio of two-to-one?
