Turner — the former head coach of the Redskins, Raiders, and Chargers — was in the middle of his third season as the offensive coordinator in Minnesota. The Vikings had used the power of their defense to start off the season 5-0, but eventually the poor offense helped give away back-to-back losses to Philadelphia and Chicago.
The Vikings are at the very bottom of the NFL in nearly every offensive category.
