Things have heated up for the Raiders in their search for their next offensive coordinator. The latest is Browns offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt who will interview with the team this week.

Van Pelt has been the offensive coordinator in Cleveland the past four seasons. Prior to that he was the QB coach in Cincinnati and Green Bay before that.
Here is the full list of Raiders reported offensive coordinator interviews so far:
Rams passing coordinator Zac Robinson (report)
Bengals QB coach Dan Pitcher (report)
Bears former OC Luke Getsy (report)
Browns OC Alex Van Pelt
Antonio Pierce’s first priority as recently named head coach will be landing a solid offensive coordinator. So, this process is of utmost importance.
Presumably the team would like to get a GM in place as well, perhaps even in time to be in the room for these interviews. If so, they’d have to make their decision quickly because these coach candidates are on the schedule for this week.
