According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Raiders are making Patriots assistant coach Bo Hardegree their quarterbacks coach.
Hardegree, 37, was added to the Patriots staff in 2021 as an assistant quarterbacks coach, coming over from the New York Jets after serving as an offensive assistant from 2019-2020. He started his career as a graduate assistant at Duke in 2008, before moving on and working for LSU, the Denver Broncos, Chicago Bears, and Miami Dolphins prior to his arrival in New York.
