recorded his 100th win as an NFL head coach. The Chargers missed the playoffs, finishing with a 9–7 record. On September 11, 2011, Turner recorded his 100th regular season win as an NFL head coach with a 24–17 opening game victory at home, over the Vikings. He proceeded to coach the team to a 4–1 record before the team began a six-game losing streak, their longest such streak since 2001. San Diego finished with an 8–8 record and again missed the playoffs. The Chargers started 3–1 in 2012 for the second straight season.

He had the support of the players through the end of his tenure, and received a standing ovation in his final meeting with them after being fired.
