On Friday, January 6th, the Las Vegas Raiders officially parted ways with over a dozen coaches on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. The Raiders current coaching staff still does have a few holdovers from the 2025 season with a good chance to continue their coaching role in 2026 under new head coach Klint Kubiak. The Las Vegas Raiders officially parted ways with the following coaches:
Greg Olson, QB Coach
Olson spent the season as the Raiders interim OC and QB coach after rejoining the Raiders this off-season. Olson’s unit ranked 30th in points and 28th in yards along with the 32nd ranked rushing offense and 28th passing offense while he served as the interim offensive coordinator. Olson saw quarterback’s Geno Smith, Kenny Pickett, and Aidan O’Connell log a 66% completion rate, 2851 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 19 interceptions with Geno Smith throwing an NFL leading 17 interceptions. Olson has been tabbed as a leading candidate for the Philadelphia Eagles QB coach position.
Nate Carroll, Asst. QB & Game Management Coach
Carroll, the youngest son of former Raiders head coach previously worked under the Seahawks as an assistant WR coach, WR coach, and assistant before heading to the Panthers in 2024 as their pass game coordinator. The Raiders ranked 24th in game management EPA per NefloSports.
Chris Beatty, WR Coach
Beatty joined the Raiders after most recently spending 2024 as the Chicago Bears WR coach. The longtime college wide receiver coach, saw Raiders third year receiver Tre Tucker log a career high in yards (696), receptions (57), and touchdowns (5). Additionally, Tucker ranked 12th in the NFL in separation, at 2.03 yards, which was also a career high. The Las Vegas Raiders didn’t see much development from 2nd rounder Jack Bech (20 receptions, 224 yards, 0 TD) and 4th rounder Dont’e Thornton (10 receptions, 135 yards, 0 TD). The Raiders need to see development from Bech and Thornton heading into their second seasons, especially with the premium draft capital invested and Raiders severe lack of talent at the position.
Brennan Carroll, OL Coach
Carroll joined his father in Las Vegas for the 2025 season where his unit ranked 22nd in pass block win rate, 24th in run block win rate, 31st in sack rate, 32nd in missed block rate, 30th in pressure rate, and 32nd in yards before contact. The Raiders also saw a severe issue in the run game with poor concepts, consistent missed blocks, and very little creativity in their blocking assignments. Las Vegas also saw very limited development from Jackson Powers-Johnson, who moved from C to G, DJ Glaze, and Dylan Parham while Caleb Rogers and Charles Grant saw severe limits in playtime. Additionally, the Raiders offensive line would meet on their own with the quarterbacks, runningbacks, and tight ends, while self teaching blocking. Additionally, Carroll has been noted as rushing players through drills and not teaching foundations and fundamentals.
Andy Dickerson, Asst. OL Coach
Kyle Fuller, Offensive Quality Control Coach
Joe Philbin, Senior Offensive Assistant
John Glenn, ILB Coach
Glenn, not the astronaut, joined the raiders after spending 2024 as the Commanders assistant ST Coordinator. Glenn was with the Seahawks from 2012 till 2023 serving as an assistant, quality control coach, and linebackers coach. Glenn saw a tremendous amount of development from young linebackers in Seattle from 2018 and on, and while Las Vegas did struggle at the linebacker position in 2025, the unit wasn’t a total liability. The Raiders released Germaine Pratt in week 5, who was consistently their best linebacker, and shifted focus to Elandon Roberts and Devin White. White posted 174 tackles, 11 TFL, and an interception but was 2nd in the NFL in missed tackles, 3rd in missed tackle rate, and finished bottom 10 in yards, QBR, and receptions allowed. Roberts did as expected as a run defender, but saw another notable dip in his coverage while also being tasked with heavy man coverage assignments. Jamal Adams was serviceable as a rotational linebacker, but Tommy Eichenberg and Cody Lindenberg did not develop as expected.
Tyrone McKenzie, Asst. ILB Coach
Marcus Robertson, SAF Coach & Asst. DB
Robertson rejoined the Raiders in 2025 after spending 2024 as the Saints defensive back coach. Robertson has rotated his time between cornerbacks, safeties, and the full secondary his entire career seeing a large amount of development from young defensive backs through his time with the Raiders, Cardinals, Broncos, and Saints. The Raiders pushed Robertson to the full safeties coach in 2025, and Las Vegas struggled with their backend coverage. Jeremy Chinn exceed expectations, but struggled early on in the season after being asked to be a fulltime strong safety after previously spending majority of his career as a nickel linebacker. Isaiah Pola-Mao logged 2 interceptions but also allowed 582 yards, 6 touchdowns, and a 120.7 QBR while ranking 7th in the NFL in missed tackles. Beyond those two, Las Vegas didn’t see much playtime from veterans Lonnie Johnson and Tristin McCollum, while 2022 5th rounder Chris Smith was released 9 games into the season.
Beyah Rasool, Asst. DB Coach
Derius Swinton, Asst. ST Coordinator
Swinton is listed on the Raiders current website, but is expected to take a role with the Pittsburgh Steelers. As the Raiders interim special teams coordinator, his unit ranked 25th in EPA and 28th in DVOA though cut their missed tackles to an average of 2.7/game ranking 11th.
Kade Rannings, Asst. ST Coordinator
The Raiders do have some current coaches still listed as under contract for 2026, and while future head coach Klint Kubiak will get a chance to put together his full coaching staff, as indicated by GM John Spytek, the Raiders are likely to retain some or all of these coaches:
Deland McCullough, RB Coach
McCullough is a finalist for the Kansas City Chiefs RB coach position, where he originally began his career, and could have the chance to coach Notre Dame runningback Jeremiyah Love again.
Luke Steckel, TE Coach
Connor McQueen, Quality Control Coach
Rob Leonard, DL Coach
Kenyon Jackson, Asst. DL Coach
Rip Rowan, Quality Control Coach
Joe Woods, CB Coach
Woods worked with new head coach Klint Kubiak in New Orleans, and could have a role with the 2026 Raiders as their defensive coordinator and/or a DB coach role.
