In a significant move, the Las Vegas Raiders have appointed Chip Kelly as their new offensive coordinator, offering him a contract averaging $6 million per year, making him the highest-paid coordinator in the NFL. Kelly, who served as Ohio State’s offensive coordinator during their 2024 national championship run, brings a wealth of experience to the Raiders’ coaching staff.
This hiring reunites Kelly with head coach Pete Carroll, aiming to revitalize a Raiders offense that struggled in the 2024 season, ranking 27th in yards per game and 29th in scoring. Kelly’s innovative offensive strategies are anticipated to bring a fresh dynamic to the team’s performance.
Kelly’s NFL experience includes head coaching positions with the Philadelphia Eagles and the San Francisco 49ers. His return to the NFL as an offensive coordinator underlines the Raiders’ commitment to strengthening their coaching staff and improving their offensive output in the upcoming season.
