Raiders expected to name Getsy OC, sources say
The Raiders are expected to hire Luke Getsy as their next offensive coordinator, sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler late Saturday night, less than a month after the 39-year-old held the same post with the Bears.

To average 24 points, the Raiders would need to score 408 points, a mark the Raiders have only hit three times since their 2002 Super Bowl season.
Pierce said an incoming offensive coordinator would have to be a teacher who can "adjust on the fly" during games.
"You've got to be able to run the football -- play-action pass," Pierce said. "What are the Raiders known for? The vertical passing game, right? We want to see the shots down the field. We want the explosive plays. That has to be a part of the creativity. You look at the shifts, the motions, all that stuff goes into it ... just think of when [the] Raiders were playing really good football, and that's going to be your offensive coordinator, hopefully, as we go forward."
Another potentially intriguing plot twist is Getsy's relationship with Bears quarterback Justin Fields, who might be a Las Vegas trade target with the Raiders, who hold the No. 13 overall draft pick, likely to move on from veteran Jimmy Garoppolo and rookie Aidan O'Connell showing himself to be as serviceable as a backup as he was immobile in the pocket.
