The Las Vegas Raiders have made a significant move in response to their ongoing struggles this season, firing offensive coordinator Luke Getsy following a disappointing loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. The team, now with a 2-7 record, has had a particularly difficult time on offense, ranking 26th in points and 28th in yards entering Week 9. Despite putting up 24 points in the Bengals game, the offense continues to fail to reach consistent production, with several games under 20 points and a major reliance on defensive scores, such as a pick-six in the latest loss.
Getsy, who joined the Raiders as offensive coordinator in the offseason after Antonio Pierce took over as head coach, had previously served as the offensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears. His tenure in Chicago ended after a poor season in 2023, and the Raiders hoped he could turn around their offense. Unfortunately, the results were not favorable, as the offense struggled to find its rhythm, and even quarterback changes, such as benching Gardner Minshew for Desmond Ridder, could not fix the issues.
Now, the Raiders face a crucial decision about their future offensive direction. Scott Turner, who had been serving as the passing game coordinator and was previously Washington’s offensive coordinator, is considered a potential candidate to step in as the interim play-caller. As the team moves forward, it will look to regain offensive efficiency and address the deep issues that have plagued their game plan.
