The Chip Kelly era in Las Vegas is over, and by all accounts, it never really got off the ground. According to multiple reports, including NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the 62-year-old offensive coordinator’s 11-game run with the Las Vegas Raiders was marred by botched play calls, blown details, and a broken operation that helped sink an already fragile season. Las Vegas has turned play-calling duties over to quarterbacks coach Greg Olson, who will serve as interim offensive coordinator.

Kelly was hired in February to revamp the Raiders’ offense under head coach Pete Carroll, fresh off a one-year stint as Ohio State’s OC.
