Turner enters his second season with the Las Vegas Raiders as the team's pass game coordinator, bringing with him 12 years of NFL coaching experience.
In 2023, Turner played a key role in the development of rookie QB Aidan O'Connell, who finished third among all rookie quarterbacks with 2,218 passing yards and second with 12 passing touchdowns. O'Connell became the first rookie in Raiders history to have a 100.0 passer rating in multiple games (3) of his rookie season while also tying the franchise rookie record for most passing touchdowns in a single game (4). Over the last four weeks of the season, O'Connell threw eight touchdowns and zero interceptions, becoming just the third Raiders quarterback since 1970 to throw eight touchdowns and zero interceptions over a four-game span – joining Ken Stabler and Derek Carr.
Prior to joining the Raiders, Turner spent the previous three seasons (2020-22) as the offensive coordinator with the Washington Commanders. In 2021, Turner led an offense that produced a 1,000-yard rusher and receiver and ranked sixth in the NFC in rushing yards per game (121.2). WR Terry McLaurin recorded 1,000 receiving yards in each of his three seasons under Turner.

From 2014-16, Turner served as quarterbacks coach with the Minnesota Vikings. Under Turner's guidance, QB Teddy Bridgewater was named to the Pro Bowl in his second season in 2015 and recorded the eighth-best completion percentage (64.6 percent) and the 17th-highest passer rating (85.2) by a rookie in NFL history in 2014.
In his lone season as the Cleveland Browns wide receivers coach in 2013, Turner helped WR Josh Gordon to become the first Browns player in history to lead the NFL in receiving yards (1,646) and the 17th-best single-season receiving mark in NFL history.
Turner entered the NFL coaching ranks as an offensive quality control coach for the Panthers from 2011-12. The Panthers recorded two of the top four seasons in franchise history in terms of net yards, setting the all-time mark with 389.8 yards per game in 2011 and 360.7 in 2012. Turner helped coach QB Cam Newton, who was named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2011.
Prior to Turner's first stint in Carolina, he spent three seasons at the University of Pittsburgh (2008-10), two as an offensive assistant and the last as wide receivers coach. Turner made his coaching debut in 2005 as a graduate assistant at Oregon State.
