Las Vegas Raiders Retain Patrick Graham as Defensive Coordinator

New head coach Pete Carroll opts for continuity by re-signing Graham, who has served as the team's defensive coordinator since 2022.

Patrick Graham will continue as the Raiders' defensive coordinator under new head coach Pete Carroll, marking his fourth season in the role.
The Raiders experienced a defensive regression in 2024, finishing 25th in scoring defense, partly due to significant injuries to key players like Maxx Crosby and Christian Wilkins.
Graham's return provides continuity for the team as Carroll and new general manager John Spytek work to rebuild after a 4-13 season.
Graham previously interviewed for head coaching and defensive coordinator positions with the Jacksonville Jaguars but will remain with Las Vegas after discussions with Carroll.
The Raiders are also searching for a new offensive coordinator, with former Seahawks OC Darrell Bevell reportedly interviewing for the position.
