Raiders Fire OC Chip Kelly After 10-Sack Loss to Browns

The ouster follows a 10-sack defeat that highlighted an offense sitting near the bottom of the league by most measures.

Overview

  • Pete Carroll announced Kelly’s dismissal Sunday night after a 24-10 home loss dropped Las Vegas to 2-9.
  • Kelly lasted 11 games in his return to the NFL and had been hired on a reported $6 million-per-year deal, the highest for a coordinator.
  • Carroll did not name an immediate replacement, marking the second in-season coordinator firing after special teams chief Tom McMahon earlier this month.
  • The Raiders managed 268 yards, went 4 of 17 on third down, and have scored 16 points or fewer in four of their past five games.
  • Geno Smith was sacked 10 times and has 13 interceptions on the season, while rookie Ashton Jeanty was limited to 50 yards on 17 carries and is averaging 3.6 yards per rush.
