Las Vegas Raiders Fire Offensive Coordinator Luke Getsy After Fifth Consecutive Loss
The Las Vegas Raiders have made a significant change to their coaching staff, firing offensive coordinator Luke Getsy just nine games into the 2024 NFL season. This decision comes on the heels of the team’s fifth consecutive loss, a blowout defeat to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
Getsy’s tenure with the Raiders was marked by struggles on the offensive side of the ball. The team’s poor performance, including subpar quarterback and offensive line play, has been a major issue throughout the season. Getsy’s play-calling was also criticized for its role in the team’s offensive failures.
As of now, it is unclear who will assume the play-calling duties for the remainder of the season. However, Scott Turner, the Raiders’ passing-game coordinator, is considered a “logical candidate” to take over the role. Turner has previous experience as the offensive coordinator of the Washington Football Team from 2020 to 2022.
The Raiders’ 2-7 start to the season has been disappointing, and the firing of Getsy is seen as a move to address the team’s ongoing offensive woes. The team is looking to revamp their strategy and improve their performance in the second half of the season).
