Vikings OC Norv Turner resigns, Pat Shurmer to take over

— -- Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator Norv Turner has resigned.

Pat Shurmur will be the interim offensive coordinator. Coach Mike Zimmer will speak later Wednesday.

The Vikings lost 20-10 to the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on Monday night, their second straight loss after a 5-0 start.?

The Vikings are 31st in total offense, and 31st in yards per game at 293.3. The team has also been hit by season-ending injuries to Adrian Peterson and linemen Matt Kalil and Andre Smith. Alex Boone was injured in Sunday's loss.

Shurmur has been Vikings QB Sam Bradford's offensive coordinator twice before -- in St. Louis in 2010, Bradford's rookie season, and in Philadelphia in 2015. He was hired this offseason as the Vikings tight ends coach.

Turner joined the Vikings in 2014, after serving as offensive coordinator with the Cleveland Browns for one season. Before that, he spent six seasons as the San Diego Chargers' head coach.

At the time, Turner inherited a Vikings offense that ranked 13th overall, but 23rd in passing.
