Raiders Failed OC Finding Success in New Role

Former Las Vegas Raiders offensive coordinator Chip Kelly is finding success in college football as Northwestern University's offensive coordinator. Fired by the Raiders on November 23, 2025, during a three-year contract, Kelly was hired by Northwestern on December 30. The Wildcats started the season 3-1, recently rushing for 413 yards in a 34-13 victory over Penn State.

The article highlights dysfunction within the Raiders' previous coaching staff under Pete Carroll, reporting Carroll did not want Kelly as his coordinator. Additionally, former Raiders offensive lineman Richie Incognito criticized the previous offensive line coaching under Brennan Carroll, noting players felt under-coached compared to current coach Rick Dennison.
