Pete Carroll fires Chip Kelly after another unsightly Raiders offensive performance
Offensive coordinator Chip Kelly and head coach Pete Carroll of the Las Vegas Raiders before the NFL Preseason 2025 game against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field on Aug. 7, 2025, in Seattle.Turns out that retreating from head coach to offensive coordinator wasn’t a great fit for Chip Kelly. At least not in the NFL.
The Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday fired the former UCLA coach moments after they were defeated by the Cleveland Browns, 24-10, falling to a 2-9 record. Kelly’s stint as offensive coordinator was an abject failure: Among 32 NFL teams, Las Vegas is tied for last at 15.0 points per game and is 30th with 268.9 in total yards per game.
