Former Ducks head coach Chip Kelly out as Las Vegas Raiders’ OC

Former Ducks head coach Chip Kelly out as Las Vegas Raiders’ OC

Just 11 games into his stint as the team’s offensive coordinator, the Las Vegas Raiders have decided to part ways with Chip Kelly.

The Raiders offense is averaging just 15.0 points per game this season, tied for last in the NFL. They hold a 2-9 record after losing to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

The former Oregon Ducks head coach was hired by Las Vegas in February after helping lead the Ohio State Buckeyes to the 2025 national title. His rushing scheme during the Buckeye’s College Football Playoff was lauded, with the Raiders expecting big things from Kelly and 2025 No. 4 overall pick, running back Ashton Jeanty.

The production simply hasn’t been there, as Jeanty has just a single 100-yard game this season and is averaging 3.7 yards per carry. He’s scored nearly as many touchdowns in the receiving game (three) as on the ground (four).

The Raiders also traded for former Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith, pairing him with newly-hired head coach Pete Carroll and Kelly. Thus far, he leads the league in interceptions with 13, having thrown just 12 touchdown passes despite having one of the best tight ends in the NFL in Brock Bowers as his go-to target.

At the end of the day, the blame falls on Kelly, who simply couldn’t coax enough points out of this group as they embarked on an extremely disappointing season.

Kelly rose to prominence in the football world during his tenure as the Ducks’ head coach from 2009 to 2012. He led them to the 2011 national championship, where they narrowly lost to the Auburn Tigers, 22-19.

He parlayed his success at Oregon into landing his first head coaching gig in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles, leading them to a 10-win season and a playoff berth in his debut campaign in 2013. But his quick, no-huddle offense quickly fell out of style in the league, and he was fired in 2015. He was soon hired by the San Francisco 49ers before being fired after just one season and a dismal 2-14 record.

Now, after less than 12 months on the job with the Raiders, Kelly is once again on the offensive coordinator or head coach job market.

Oregon coalition says ICE detained four US citizens in Oregon this week

PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — Four U.S. citizens were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Oregon this week, according to Oregon for All, a coalition of over 100 organizations.

Among those detained were two Oregonians from McMinnville, including a 17-year-old high school senior, during ICE sweeps in Yamhill County. At least seven others were arrested in the operation.

McMinnville School District Superintendent Kourtney Ferrua confirmed that ICE officers took a high school student into custody off school grounds during lunch on Friday.

“We are working to verify information through appropriate channels and remain in communication with local partners,” Ferrua said.

She emphasized that ICE agents have not entered schools in her district and expressed concern for the students’ safety and emotional well-being.

The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to KATU’s request for comment on Friday.

On Thursday, two women were detained in Canby after filming ICE agents in a parking lot, according to Oregon for All. They were later released.

The coalition said the four individuals have chosen to remain anonymous due to fears of further retaliation.

Jess Montoya, director of the Oregon for All Network, criticized the detentions. “Four U.S. citizens were held for hours without access to an attorney, leaving their family members terrified and desperate to find out what happened to them.”

Montoya added, “The First Amendment protects the right of Oregonians to document ICE in public as long as they don’t interfere with or obstruct law enforcement activities. ICE’s intimidation of Oregonians is unacceptable.”

Oregon for All advocates for justice for immigrant and refugee communities, with support from groups such as APANO, ACLU of Oregon, and the Oregon Food Bank.

KATU News reached out to ICE and other agencies for comment, awaiting response.
