Raiders Fire Not 1, Not 2, But 3 Coaches After Starting Out Season With Horrendous 2-7 Record
Daily Caller ^ | November 04, 2024 | Andrew Powell - Sports and Entertainment Blogger

Things are a-changin’ in Vegas! And dramatically at that!

The Las Vegas Raiders announced late Sunday night they have fired their offensive coordinator Luke Getsy after the team got off to a terrible 2-7 start. It was Getsy’s first campaign with the team.

Oh, but that’s not all. Las Vegas decided to can their quarterbacks coach Rich Scangarello and offensive line coach James Cregg as well. Scangarello and Cregg were also in their first year with the Raiders.

After suffering a dismal 41-24 defeat against the Cincinnati Bengals, the black and silver have now lost five straight games, something the franchise hasn’t done since 2018. On top of that, they dropped to 2-7, which is one of the worst records in the NFL.

It’s easy to laugh at the Raiders right now, but I see a bright future ahead for them if they play their cards right.

Everybody knows how I’m a Miami Dolphins fan in the NFL, and in college I’m all for the Miami Hurricanes, so obviously I’m a huge fan of UM quarterback Cam Ward. Now my Dolphins will probably be too good for the No. 1 pick when the smoke clears, and even if they were bad enough, they’d most likely stick with Tua Tagovailoa.

So that brings me to Vegas … These guys should tank the rest of the season to guarantee the top pick in the 2025 draft. And then after that, bring in the Heisman Trophy favorite. Though I’m loyal to the Trey-0-5, Sin City would be second on my list in terms of favorite metros, and seeing Cam Ward in that town with a black and silver jersey on would be something else.

Tom Brady ownership, Cam Ward at quarterback, the Raiders could have a damn dynasty if they do things correctly — look at the opportunity you have in front of you, Vegas.

Except that Jerry is the problem and always has been. As long as he is in charge they will suck and that is ok by me.

The New Orleans Saints fired their HC this morning, after an impressive 2-0 start they haven’t won since.

Meanwhile, Jacksonville sits at 2-7 after their owner said this was their most talented team since he’s been the owner at the beginning of the year.

Last win was against the Cowboys.

How does McCarthy still have a job? I guess he’s a good Jerry Puppet.

I can't remember a team firing three assistants but not their head coach.

Is the fact that head coach Antonio Pierce is black the reason he still has his job?

“...the Raiders could have a damn dynasty...”

A dynasty? LOL! It’s more likely they will just be damned since they are playing in Sin City.

The game has passed Belichick by, he was nothing without Brady, and Tom proved that in Tampa.

2-7...exact same record over here and no news about any such movement.

Side note....the Jags defensive coordinator never played in the pros.......I got a problem with that.

The patiots get what they deserve for putting a clause in the current head coaches contract when he was an assistant that when Belichick left he would be the next head coach.......never heard of such
