The Las Vegas Raiders search for an offensive coordinator has officially been resolved with the hiring of Luke Getsy.

The 39-year-old Getsy has nine years of coaching experience in the NFL. His most recent coaching experience was as the offensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears for two seasons.

In the most recent episode of the Las Vegas Raiders Insider Podcast, our Hondo Carpenter Sr. had the opportunity to do a deeper dive into Getsy and his respect as a coach and an offensive coordinator all around the NFL.

Getsy has had lots of success and experience as a coach for the game of football, starting as a college football quarterback at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Akron.

As a quarterback at Akron, Getsy led the Zips to their first-ever conference title and accomplished many things as a player.

After playing college football, Getsy later went back to Akron as a grad assistant and back to the University of Pittsburgh and had the chance to work with defensive-minded coach Dave Wannstedt.

After his time with Akron and Pittsburgh, Getsy coached at Western Michigan with current University of Minnesota head coach P.J. Fleck and had great success.

Getsy later gets an opportunity to be the offensive coordinator at Mississippi State University. While he was the offensive coordinator at Mississippi State, the Bulldogs averaged 29 points a game, eleventh in the strength of schedule, 397 yards of offensive play, and one turnover against SEC talent. Getsy earned lots of respect in the NFL after his successes with the Bulldogs.

Getsy's first NFL experience was with the Green Bay Packers as an offensive quality control coach and later became a wide receivers coach. He had great success, including participating in six winning seasons with the Packers.

Overall, Getsy has had lots of success and experience as an NFL coach, and it will be fascinating to see what he will bring as the offensive coordinator for the Silver and Black.
