The Las Vegas Raiders are hiring Norv Turner as an assistant, NFL Network reported Tuesday.

He is joining the Raiders as his son, Scott, reportedly is in the mix to be calling the offensive plays when the team returns from its bye week. Scott Turner serves as the Raiders' passing-game coordinator under head coach Antonio Pierce.

The report comes on the heels of Las Vegas firing offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, offensive line coach James Cregg and quarterbacks coach Rich Scangarello late Sunday night. All three were in their first season with the Raiders.

Norv Turner, 72, is rejoining the franchise after posting a 9-23 record as its head coach in 2004 and 2005 while the team was based in Oakland. He also served as a head coach in Washington (1994-2000) and the then-San Diego Chargers from 2007-12 and has an overall 49-59-1 record.

He last was on an NFL staff in 2019 as a special assistant and offensive coordinator with the Carolina Panthers under head coach Ron Rivera.
