Scott Turnbull

Scott Turnbull enters his 14th season as the head coach of the Minnesota Morris men's soccer program in 2023.

In each of the first five seasons under Coach Turnbull, the Cougars reached the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC) Tournament final, which included a tournament title in 2011. With the win, the Cougars secured the UMAC automatic berth and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history.

Coach Turnbull began his coaching career in 1998 as a student assistant on the women's soccer team at Minnesota Morris during the first two seasons in program history. Turnbull returned to Minnesota Morris in the fall of 2007 as an assistant for both the men’s and women’s soccer programs.

During his time as an assistant, the men's team won two UMAC conference tournaments and one UMAC regular season title. Since taking over as head coach in the spring of 2010, the Cougars won the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC) Tournament in 2011 and reached the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history.

As a student at Minnesota Morris, Turnbull kicked for the football team and received NSIC all-conference honors in 1997. Prior to coming to Minnesota Morris, he spent two years as a student at Minnesota Crookston as a member of the football and hockey teams, earning NDCAC all-conference honorable mention honors in football in 1995. He was also a member of the UMC all-academic team in 1994 and ‘95.

Turnbull grew up playing soccer with the Brandon Selects traveling team that had tremendous success across central Canada and the northern United States. He joined the Arsenal F.C. men’s team in Manitoba as a 15-year old and played with the very successful side for fifteen years. Turnbull was twice awarded the Most Valuable Goalkeeper award while winning multiple league and tournament titles over those years.

Coach Turnbull graduated with a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Minnesota Morris and is recently completed a master's degree in Sports Management from Minot State University. Coach Turnbull holds a National Goalkeeping diploma from the NSCAA, and is presently working toward his Manitoba "B" license from the Canadian Soccer Association.

Originally from Brandon, Manitoba, Canada, Turnbull now lives in Morris with his wife, Amber, and five children, Trey, Sydney, Lucas, Joseph, and Frankie.
