The Las Vegas Raiders fired offensive coordinator Luke Getsy late Sunday night after only nine games with the team.
The Raiders also parted ways with offensive line coach James Cregg and quarterbacks coach Rich Scangarello, also in their first season with the team.
Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce told reporters Monday that parting with Getsy was “100 percent my decision.”
Pierce also said he was not prepared to say who will call the offensive plays, or who will be the starting quarterback when the Raiders return from their bye in Week 11.
The Raiders return to action with a visit to the Miami Dolphins on Nov. 17.
Las Vegas (2-7) saw its losing streak extend to five games with a 41-24 defeat to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday afternoon.
Sunday’s move marks the fourth time in the past five years in which the Raiders either switched coordinators or head coaches in the middle of the season.
Getsy, 40, joined Las Vegas during the offseason after spending two seasons as the offensive coordinator of the Chicago Bears.
Under Getsy, the Raiders have mustered NFL-worst totals in average rushing yards per game (76.9) and giveaways (19). Las Vegas is averaging just 280.2 total yards per game, which is fourth worst in the league.
Getsy was hired after the Raiders’ offense averaged 19.5 points per game in 2023. Las Vegas was 27th in the NFL last season in overall offense, averaging 289.5 yards a game.
