There has been no shortage of blame to go around for the Las Vegas Raiders during the 2025 NFL season. But head coach Pete Carroll won't fire either of his sons, so he attempted to make special teams coordinator Tom McMahon the scapegoat.
When that obviously did not solve the team's issues, the Raiders needed to look elsewhere to place the blame. They landed on offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, who, after being made the highest-paid coordinator in NFL history this offseason, was fired on Sunday evening following the game.
The move made sense, as Las Vegas has the worst offense in the league by several metrics, and they looked like even more of a mess in Week 12 against the Cleveland Browns than they have all season.
