Revealing Mysteries: How Asteroid Grains Illuminate the Birth of the Outer Solar System

Tiny grains from asteroid Ryugu are revealing clues to the magnetic forces that shaped the far reaches of the solar system over 4.6 billion years ago. The findings suggest the distal solar system harbored a weak magnetic field, which could have played a role in forming the giant planets and other objects. Tiny grains from

Raiders Bring Back Norv Turner as New Offensive Assistant Coach

 

 

Raiders appoint ex-head coach Norv Turner as offensive assistant


Las Vegas Raiders’ head coach, Antonio Pierce, has not yet indicated who will assume offensive play calling responsibilities after he dismissed three staff members, including offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, from that department.

 

However, on Tuesday, Pierce confirmed that Scott Turner, the team’s pass game coordinator, will take over as interim offensive coordinator. Additionally, he brought in a well-known figure for support.

The Raiders made it public that they have brought in Norv Turner—who is Scott Turner’s father and a seasoned head coach and offensive coordinator—out of retirement to serve as a senior advisor on the coaching staff.

Also added to the team is Joe Philbin, former head coach of the Miami Dolphins, who will take on the role of interim offensive line coach.

Following a disappointing 41-24 defeat to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, the Raiders let go of Getsy, quarterbacks coach Rich Scangarello, and offensive line coach James Cregg.

 

Norv Turner, aged 72, previously coached the Raiders, leading them to a 9-23 record across two seasons from 2004 to 2005. He has also held head coaching roles with the Washington team and the Chargers, finishing his career with a record of 114 wins, 122 losses, and 1 tie. Before becoming a head coach, he was the offensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys during their first two Super Bowl victories in the 1990s.

 

Scott Turner began his NFL coaching career in 2011 as an offensive quality control assistant for the Panthers. He has coached alongside his father at Minnesota and Carolina and served as Washington’s offensive coordinator from 2020 to 2022.

 

The father-son coaching pair has a challenging task ahead for the rest of the season, as the Raiders are averaging only 4.6 yards per play, putting them 30th in the league, and scoring an average of 18.7 points per game, which ranks 26th.
