Chip Kelly Joins Raiders as NFL's Highest-Paid Offensive Coordinator

The former Ohio State offensive coordinator reunites with Pete Carroll in Las Vegas after leading the Buckeyes to a national championship.

Chip Kelly has been hired as the Las Vegas Raiders' offensive coordinator, making him the highest-paid coordinator in the NFL with a $6 million annual salary.
Kelly's return to the NFL comes after a successful season as Ohio State's offensive coordinator, where he helped the Buckeyes secure the 2024 College Football Playoff National Championship.
The Raiders' new head coach, Pete Carroll, made Kelly a key part of his staff as the team looks to revamp an offense that ranked near the bottom of the league in 2024.
Kelly's NFL experience includes head coaching stints with the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers, though his tenure in both roles ended with mixed results.
The Raiders aim to rebuild their offense under Kelly's guidance, addressing challenges at quarterback and other key positions following a disappointing 4-13 season.
