Pete Carroll: Gave Chip Kelly a lot of leeway, but it hasn't gotten right, we can do better

Our Summary

Raiders head coach Pete Carroll has dismissed offensive coordinator Chip Kelly following a loss to the Browns, marking the second coordinator change for the team this season. Carroll cited a mismatch in offensive philosophies as the reason for Kelly's departure, despite Kelly's previous success at Ohio State. Under Kelly, the Raiders have struggled offensively, ranking 30th in yards and 31st in points scored. Quarterback Geno Smith has thrown 13 interceptions, and the offensive line allowed 10 sacks in the recent game against Cleveland. Running back Ashton Jeanty has also underperformed, averaging 3.6 yards per carry. Greg Olson, returning for his third stint as Raiders offensive coordinator, will replace Kelly. Carroll expressed confidence in Olson, who previously worked with him at the Seahawks, to realign the team’s offensive strategy with his long-standing philosophy.
