Raiders fire special teams coordinator after crushing loss to Broncos

The team announced Friday that they had fired special teams coordinator Tom McMahon. 

In the statement, Carroll said assistant special teams coordinator Derius Swinton II will take over as special teams coach.

"He has to kick better," Carroll said after Thursday's game. "It kills him, too. He wants to make every one of those, and he has to kick better."

McMahon was one of two coordinators whom Carroll decided to keep from the prior regime when he took over. Defensive coordinator Patrick Graham is the other. 

The Raiders are no strangers to making a coaching change in the middle of the season. Going back to 2017, they have either fired a head coach, coordinator, or general manager in every season except 2019 and 2022.
