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

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

The team is on its first five-game losing streak since 2018 and shares the worst record in the NFL at 2-7 following Sunday’s 41-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Getsy’s offense, while off to a fast start in scoring an opening drive touchdown in four of the past five games in Las Vegas, became too bogged down later in the games.

The Raiders scored just four touchdowns on 50 other drives in the same time frame, with three of those TDs coming in the final five minutes of the game, while the Raiders trailed 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 tied 10-10 late in the second quarter.

“That goes for 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 the points from this game and look at a lot of things, from coaches to play and call on players to execute in situations where we can all do a much better job and put ourselves in a position to get to the fourth quarter and actually have a chance to win – not always playing catch-up.”

Getsy, who drafted the NFL’s Nos. 1 and 2 rushing defenses in 2022 and 2023, respectively, as the Chicago Bears’ offensive coordinator, oversaw a Las Vegas unit that ranked 28th in the NFL in total offense this weekend. violations. It was No. 18 in passing and No. 31 in rushing, and the Raiders’ scoring average of 18.0 points per game was 26th in the NFL.

Getsy said this week that the idea of ​​”scripted” play early in a game was a false narrative.

“I know you like that buzzword,” he said, “but it’s not real. … You go through a plan, you have a plan. So the guys get called when we get to the 35-yard line, and this are the things we’re going to attack them with. When we’re at the 25 yard line, these are the ways we’re going to attack them And when it’s third and third, this is the The way we’re going to attack them nothing else. So this is how we’re going to open the game, this is how we’re going to play the game. These are the rules of the game.

“So there’s no script. There’s no such thing as a layout. It’s a focus and attention to detail. … We just have to continue to improve that execution part and make sure it can hold up for four quarters.” .”

Getsy, who was fired by the Bears in January, was hired by the Raiders in February after former Arizona Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury withdrew from consideration.

Getsy had been moved from the field to the press box to announce the playoffs before the Raiders’ loss at the Los Angeles Chargers two weeks ago.

Sunday marked the fourth time in the past five seasons that the Raiders changed coordinators or head coaches in the middle of a season.

The Raiders, preparing for their bye week, also replaced starting quarterback Gardner Minshew with Desmond Ridder late in the third quarter against the Bengals.
