Fired Chargers Coach Norv Turner Headed to Cleveland Browns as Offensive Coordinator

The Browns have named Turner as their new offensive coordinator.

The Cleveland Browns have picked Norv Turner, who was recently fired as the Chargers' head coach, to be their new offensive coordinator, the team announced Thursday.

"Norv has been one of the most respected offensive coaches in the NFL over the last 25-30 years, and he has had a tremendous amount of success at each one of his stops—as a position coach, coordinator and head coach,” Browns head coach Rob Chudzinski said according to a post on the team's official website. “I was able to learn a great deal in the time that I worked for him in San Diego, and I expect that having him as our offensive coordinator will make a big impact on that side of the ball.”

Turner had mixed success with the Chargers over six seasons, and rumors of his pending firing followed him from season to season and heightened at the tail of this season, when the team failed to make the playoffs.
