MANAGE SUBSCRIPTIONS   |   UNSUBSCRIBE   |   VIEW ONLINE   Vikings offensive coordinator Norv Turner has unexpectedly resigned by Emmett Knowlton on Nov 2, 2016, 11:05 AM Advertisement Norv Turner has resigned as offensive coordinator of the Minnesota Vikings. ESPN's Adam Schefter first broke the news on Wednesday morning, and the team confirmed it on Twitter shortly thereafter. It's a completely unexpected move. Turner had served as the OC in Minnesota since 2014, and this season the Vikings are 5-2 without Teddy Bridgewater and Adrian Peterson.  The Vikings are coming off two consecutive losses, though, and as ESPN Stats & Info noted, the team's offense has been completely flat all season long.

Turner's son Scott, meanwhile, remains the Vikings' quarterback coach.  The Vikings are currently in first place in the NFC North. The offensive coordinator of a division-leading team doesn't typically resign in the middle of a season.    Share the latest business news with your network:    Email sent to:   |   Manage your email preferences   |   Unsubscribe Terms of Service   |   Privacy Policy Business Insider. 150 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10011
