Jets hiring Scott Turner as pᴀssing game coordinator as Aaron Glenn’s staff continues take shape

Aaron Glenn’s first Jets coaching staff added another notable name to the offensive side of the ball.

Gang Green is hiring Scott Turner as their pᴀss game coordinator, The Post’s Mark Cannizzaro confirmed through a league source.

The 42-year-old Turner, the son of longtime NFL head coach Norv Turner, has spent 14 seasons in the NFL. He was the offensive coordinator in Washington from 2020-22 under Ron Rivera, and spent last season as Raiders interim offensive coordinator, giving him play-calling experience.

Turner’s results as a play-caller aren’t stellar. Washington’s offense finished 25th, 23rd and 24th, respectively, in scoring with Turner at the helm.

He was promoted to Raiders interim offensive coordinator by Antonio Pierce last season, when Luke Getsy was fired after nine games. Las Vegas would average just 18 points per game, good for 26th in the league, and went 2-6 with Turner running the offense.

The experience still could be an important resource for first-time offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand, whom Glenn brought over from the Lions staff. Engstrand has not handled play-caller responsibilities yet in the NFL.

Charles London will be the new quarterbacks coach, according to multiple reports. He held the same position with the Seahawks last season.

Turner joins Engstrand, receivers coach Shawn Jefferson and offensive line coach Steve Heiden on the offensive side of the ball.

Glenn has also brought in defensive coordinator Steve Wilks and special teams coordinator Chris Banjo. The offensive coaches Glenn surrounds himself with are of the utmost importance given that his expertise is on the other side of the ball, including four seasons as Lions defensive coordinator and as a three-time Pro Bowl corner in the league.

The offensive staff will likely be tasked with making it work with either 41-year-old Aaron Rodgers, another veteran bridge QB, or developing the team’s franchise quarterback of the future. Rodgers’ plans — whether to retire or not — and the Jets’ desire to bring him back remain unclear

The Jets are trying to jump-start their franchise under Glenn and new general manager Darren Mougey after a disastrous 5-12 season that began with Super Bowl hopes.

The team’s struggles led to the firing of head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas midseason. The Jets hold the No. 7 selection in this year’s draft.
