        Raiders Hire Chip Kelly As OC

        The Raiders hired Chip Kelly as their OC under new HC Pete Carroll. Kelly spent this past year as Ohio State's OC, helping the Buckeyes to a 17th-place finish in points. Kelly was UCLA's HC the previous six seasons, finishing with a 35-34 record. That followed four years as an NFL HC: three with the Eagles and one with the 49ers. Kelly's first two Eagles teams finished top five in both points and total yards. The QBs on those teams ranged from Michael Vick to Nick Foles to Mark Sanchez. RB LeSean McCoy put up monster numbers across those two seasons: 2,926 rushing yards, 694 receiving yards, and 16 total TDs. Philadelphia sunk to 12th in yards and 13th in points in Kelly's final season, after McCoy was traded to Buffalo and Sam Bradford took over at QB. Kelly's lone season in San Francisco was QB Colin Kaepernick's final campaign and ended with a 2-14 record. But even that season produced a career-best 4.6 yards per carry from RB Carlos Hyde. We're bullish on Kelly's impact on Vegas' running game, although it remains to be seen who will be running the ball in 2025. The Raiders are also likely in the market for a new QB. They hold the sixth overall pick of this spring's draft.
