ASHBURN, Va. — The Washington Commanders fired offensive coordinator Scott Turner on Tuesday after yet another disappointing season offensively.<\/p>\n

Turner, who signed a three-year extension last offseason, had been with coach Ron Rivera for seven years, including the past three in Washington. He coached under Rivera for parts of four seasons with the Carolina Panthers as well.<\/p>\n

The Commanders finished a third consecutive season with poor offensive rankings. They were 20th in total yards and 26th in points. Their best rankings in Turner’s three seasons were 23rd in points and 21st in yards — both occurring last season.<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately, we did not live up to the expectations and standard that I expected to see from our offensive unit,” Rivera said in a statement. “I felt it was best for a fresh start at the coordinator position going into next year. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Scott and thanked him for his three years of service to our organization.”<\/p>\n
