Raiders fire offensive coordinator Luke Getsy and two others

HENDERSON, Nev. – The Las Vegas Raiders have fired offensive coordinator Luke Getsy after nine games, the team announced Sunday night.

The Raiders also fired offensive line coach James Cregg and quarterbacks coach Rich Scangarello, both in their first seasons with Las Vegas.

The team is riding its first five-game losing streak since 2018 and has the worst record in the NFL at 2-7 after Sunday's 41-24 loss at the Cincinnati Bengals. Although Getsy's offense got off to a fast start and scored an opening touchdown in four of Las Vegas' last five games, it faltered too much later in games.

According to The Associated Press, the Raiders scored just four touchdowns on 50 other drives in the same period, with three of those touchdowns coming in the final five minutes of the game with the Raiders trailing by at least 20 points, according to The Associated Press.

“It wasn't a good day at the office,” Raiders coach Antonio Pierce said after Sunday's loss, a game that ended in a 10-10 tie late in the second quarter.

“It applies to all of us. I mean, it's a group effort. It's a team effort. We all have to find a way to do better. We want to take away from this game and look at a lot of things.” “Coaches have to play and ask players to execute in situations where we can all do a much better job and put ourselves in a position to get into the fourth quarter and actually to have a chance to win.”

Getsy, who authored the NFL's No. 1 and No. 2 rushing offenses as the Chicago Bears' offensive coordinator in 2022 and 2023, oversaw a unit this weekend that ranked 28th in total offense in the NFL. It was No. 18 in passing and No. 31 in rushing, and the Raiders' scoring average of 18.0 ppg ranked 26th in the NFL.

He was hired in February after former Arizona Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury withdrew from the roster.

Getsy was also moved from the field to the press box to call plays before the Raiders' loss at the Los Angeles Chargers two weeks ago.

More changes are expected as the Raiders, who also replaced starting quarterback Gardner Minshew with Desmond Ridder in the third quarter, prepare for their bye week.
