February 3, 2025 – Las Vegas, NV – In a bold move that has sent shockwaves through the NFL, the Las Vegas Raiders have officially named Chip Kelly as their new offensive coordinator. Kelly, who previously served as head coach for the Philadelphia Eagles and UCLA, returns to the NFL after a successful tenure with Ohio State, where he helped head coach Ryan Day lead the Buckeyes to a national title.
Kelly, known for his high-tempo, innovative offensive schemes, is expected to bring a fresh, dynamic approach to the Raiders’ offense. His appointment comes at a pivotal time as the Raiders look to build a playoff-caliber team and revamp their attack under new leadership.
“We are thrilled to welcome Chip Kelly to the Raider Nation,” said Raiders’ head coach Josh McDaniels. “His track record speaks for itself, both in the NFL and college football. Chip’s ability to adapt and implement cutting-edge offensive strategies will be invaluable as we look to take our offense to the next level.”
Kelly, who became a household name with the Eagles in the early 2010s for his up-tempo offense, left a lasting impact on the league with his fast-paced, pass-heavy schemes. After a brief hiatus from the NFL, Kelly returned to college football, revitalizing Ohio State’s offense, and ultimately guiding them to a national championship with quarterback C.J. Stroud at the helm.
“I’m excited for this new opportunity with the Raiders,” said Kelly in his introductory press conference. “I’ve always believed in challenging the defense, keeping them off-balance, and finding creative ways to score. I’ve had the privilege of working with incredible talent, and I’m looking forward to bringing that same energy and innovation to Las Vegas.”
Kelly’s appointment marks a new chapter for the Raiders’ offense, which has shown promise but lacked consistency in recent seasons. His history of developing elite quarterbacks and transforming offenses will be crucial for maximizing the potential of Raiders’ QB, Jimmy Garoppolo, and the team’s talented skill players.
Raiders fans, who have been clamoring for a more explosive and modern offensive attack, are optimistic that Kelly’s return to the NFL will bring the kind of excitement and success the franchise has been yearning for.
Stay tuned as Chip Kelly begins his new chapter with the Las Vegas Raiders, and as the team gears up for a fresh offensive era under his guidance.
