The Raiders fell to 2-9 to the visiting Cleveland Browns, with quarterback Geno Smith taking 10 sacks in the humiliating defeat. After the game, cameras showed Geno Smith flipping the bird at heckling Raiders fans.
After serving as the offensive coordinator under Ryan Day for the national champion Ohio State Buckeyes last year, Chip Kelly signed a multi-year contract with the Raiders to become their next OC.
According to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer, the contract made him the league’s highest-paid coordinator at an average of $6 million per season.
The decision to fire Kelly comes two weeks after the Raiders parted ways with special teams coordinator Tom McMahon following a 10-7 road loss to the Denver Broncos.
