There are starting to be consequences for the las Vegas Raiders’ poor start to the 2024 season under first-year head coach Pete Carroll.
The team has fired special teams coach Tom McMahon according to several reports. NFL media was the first to report it.
The Raiders’ special teams has been dreadful this season.
Their 10-7 loss at Denver on Thursday night was helped fueled by a blocked punt that setup the game-winning field goal and a missed Daniel Carlson field goal with less than five minutes to go. The Raiders have allowed four blocked punts in the past two season, the most in the NFL. Carlson has five missed kicks this season.

McMahon was in his fourth season with the Raiders. He was first hired by Josh McDaniels and was retained both both Antonio Pierce and Carroll.
The Raiders have Derius Swinton and Kade Rannings as assistant special teams coaches. The Raiders announced Swinton will take on the interim role for the rest of the season in a statement by Carroll.
This in-season moves shows there are some clear issues on the coaching staff as the Raiders’ sit at 2-7. It would not be a surprise if Carroll makes more changes to the staff, especially in the offseason if he returns as the 20-26 head coach.
This move continues a long trend of Raiders’ in-season firing.
