Raiders Fire Offensive Coordinator Chip Kelly After Week 12 Loss

Pete Carroll confirmed the move hours after a 24-10 defeat to Cleveland.

Overview

  • Las Vegas managed just 10 points against the Browns as Geno Smith was sacked 10 times, the offense went 3-for-17 on third down, and it produced 60 rushing yards with 3.9 yards per pass.
  • Kelly's tenure ended after 11 games in his first season with the Raiders, and he was reportedly the NFL’s highest-paid assistant at $6 million per year.
  • The Raiders fell to 2-9 and their offense has ranked near the bottom of the league this season in both points and total yards.
  • Carroll did not immediately name a replacement to run the offense, according to the team’s postgame announcement reported by AP.
  • The move marks the second November coaching change for Las Vegas after special teams coordinator Tom McMahon was dismissed earlier in the month.
