The Raiders will have a brand new coaching staff soon enough. A familiar face will reportedly be in the ranks.
Former Raiders offensive coordinator Greg Olson could return to that post, the Sporting News reported on Thursday evening. The current Los Angeles Rams quarterbacks coach would be allowed out of his contract to team up with old friends.
He would re-team with Jon Gruden, assuming he’s hired, as expected, as the Raiders next head coach. Olson was Tampa Bay’s quarterbacks coach under Gruden in 2008, and eventually became the Buccaneers offensive coordinator through 2011.
Olson spent a season in Jacksonville before becoming Raiders offensive coordinator from 2013-14, which included Carr’s rookie season.
