Raiders Hire Gus Bradley as DC

The Raiders announced that they've hired Gus Bradley, previously defensive coordinator of the Chargers. Personnel was as much to blame as coaching last year (and since basically forever) for the Raiders defense. Mayock will have his hands full trying to rebuild the defense in the off season.

Bradley's defenses had some good statistical seasons in San Diego and Los Angeles but had been regressing. His first year (2017) with the Chargers they were 3rd in points allowed. In 2020 they had fallen to 22nd and were dead last in the NFL in 2019. Too early to know if it is a good hire but change was needed and there will be many changes to that side of the ball this offseason.
