Raiders coaching staff: Continuity is one thing, but Patrick Graham’s defense needs a rebound

New regimes often mean new philosophy, scheme and system. The Las Vegas Raiders are all too aware of this.

After moving from one head coach to another, change is the constant for the Silver & Black. Yet, there’s a measure of continuity in the desert. Particularly, on the defensive side of the ball.

Enter: Patrick Graham.

The Raiders defensive coordinator returns to the fold under new head coach Pete Carroll. This after Graham’s contract with Las Vegas expired after the 2024 season and he went on the interview circuit. Graham talked to the Jacksonville Jaguars about the head coach spot, which ultimately went to former Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen.
