It was a “bad day at the office” for the Raiders Sunday in Cincinnati. And for three of the team’s coaches, their offices began getting cleaned out upon their return to Las Vegas.
The Raiders made it official Sunday night that they have fired three of the team’s offensive coaching staff.
OC Luke Getsy
QB coach Rich Scangarello
OL coach James Cregg
This house cleaning may or may not fix the issues the Raiders are having, but seeing as it can’t really get any worse, there was nothing to lose by making these moves.
The Raiders offense was ranked 28th in yards and 25th in points this season. Not much worked properly, but the play calling was nonsensical and the running game was completely non-existent.
Much of the blame has been laid at the new blocking scheme which explains why Cregg would be out the door along with Getsy.
As for the QB position, Gardner Minshew went to the Pro Bowl last year with the Colts only to come here and have the worst season of his career. I mean, not much was expected, but the team got much less than even that.
