Getsy, who was hired in 2023, has faced significant criticism for the team’s offensive woes. The Raiders have struggled to generate consistent scoring opportunities and have been plagued by inconsistent quarterback play.

Luke Getsy’s Struggles on Offense
Under Getsy’s leadership, the Raiders’ offense has been lackluster, averaging just 18.7 points and 280.2 yards per game. The team has struggled with both the passing and rushing game, ranking near the bottom of the league in several offensive categories. Despite some early success with opening-drive touchdowns, the offense has failed to maintain momentum throughout the games.
Coaching Staff Changes
In addition to Getsy, the Raiders also parted ways with quarterbacks coach Rich Scangarello and offensive line coach James Cregg, both of whom were in their first seasons with the team. These changes are part of a broader shakeup aimed at addressing the team’s offensive woes.
Fan Reactions
The decision to fire Getsy has been met with mixed reactions from Raiders fans. While some believe that the coaching changes are necessary to turn the season around, others are concerned about the team’s ability to improve without significant changes to the roster.
