by Changes are coming to the Las Vegas Raiders coaching staff after the team suffered its fifth consecutive loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
With the Raiders’ offense struggling of late, the team announced Sunday night that offensive coordinator Luke Getsy has been fired, along with quarterbacks coach Rich Scangarello and offensive line coach James Cregg.
Las Vegas has not scored more than 24 points in a single game during its entire losing streak. They averaged 18 points over their last five games, and only 18.6 points all season.
With Aidan O’Connell on IR with a hand injury, Gardner Minshew started Sunday’s game but was later benched in favor of recently acquired Desmond Ridder. Minshew completed 10 of 17 passes for 124 yards and no touchdowns or interceptions, while Ridder went 11-for-16 for 74 yards and a touchdown in relief.
Getsy was in his first year with the Raiders after serving as the offensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears the previous two seasons.
Antonio Pierce’s first full season at the helm did not go to plan. After a 2-2 start, the Raiders have fallen to 2-7. With a bye week looming, they opted to make a change at offensive coordinator, hoping a new perspective could produce better results on that side of the football.
