HENDERSON, Nev. — The Las Vegas Raiders are expected to hire Mike McCoy as the assistant head coach under Klint Kubiak, sources told ESPN.

McCoy was recently an offensive assistant turned interim head coach for the Tennessee Titans after the team fired Brian Callahan in October.

McCoy brings a ton of experience to the first-time head coach Kubiak’s staff. He spent four seasons as the Los Angeles Chargers’ head coach (2013-2016). He had a record of 27-37 with the Chargers and made a playoff appearance in 2013.

Before McCoy joined the Titans’ coaching staff, he was the quarterbacks coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars from 2022-2024.

Kubiak and McCoy have a previous relationship. Kubiak was an offensive assistant under McCoy in 2017. McCoy, however, was fired after a 3-7 start and a six-game losing streak.
