There has been plenty of speculation as to who will take the place of offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, who the Raiders fired Sunday night. But as of Monday morning, Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce was not yet ready to name that person.
“I’ll use the next 24 to 48 hours to sit down with the staff and figure out who’s going to call the offense going forward,” Pierce said in his Monday morning conference call.
The name most mentioned as a potential replacement is pass game coordinator Scott Turner. Turner is the son of former Raiders head coach Norv Turner.
Scott was an OC in Washington for three years from 2020-22 and in Carolina for a season prior to that. So, he’s got some experience calling plays.
Pierce said the decision to fire Getsy was his and his alone. But it sounds like his decision as to who replaces Getsy will be based a lot on the input he receives from his staff. And in the process, he will also need to fill the spots of the OL coach James Cregg and QB coach Rich Scangarello who were also let go.
He will hope to have those positions filled – likely in house — this week while the players are off and before they return to practice after the bye.
