Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Carroll has made a bold move, firing highly paid offensive coordinator Chip Kelly after three games. The decision comes as the team struggles to find its footing, averaging just 3.6 yards per play over the past three weeks. Carroll expressed frustration with the team's inability to execute his preferred play-calling strategy, which he believes has been a key factor in their success in the past. While acknowledging Kelly's exceptional coaching credentials, Carroll stated that the team wasn't taking the necessary steps to improve. He emphasized the importance of a strong running game, which has been a sore spot for the Raiders. The team has brought in Greg Olson as interim offensive coordinator, a seasoned veteran with 13 years of experience as a play-caller in the NFL. Carroll emphasized the need for clear communication among staff and coaches to unlock the team's potential. He acknowledged that the decision to fire Kelly wasn't solely his fault, citing issues with game planning on both sides of the ball. The Raiders aim to capitalize on their strengths and minimize weaknesses, with a renewed focus on executing their coach's vision.
