The Las Vegas Raiders almost have their entire coaching staff filled out. They still have a few more minor positions that need to be filled, but we are very close to seeing how the staff will look in 2024.

This time, the Raiders brought in a former Raider, just like Pierce is. No, Pierce didn't play for the Raiders, but he is a Raider, as he grew up rooting for the team in Los Angeles.

According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Raiders are hiring James Cregg as their new offensive line coach. Cregg is a former San Francisco 49ers assistant OL coach who also previously coached at LSU.

A long, long time ago, Cregg was actually a member of the Raiders as a coach. So, the fit is there in terms of culture.

Fun fact about Cregg, he actually once sued LSU and won. That has nothing to do with this situation, but it's pretty random.
