Not getting Benton , it was very important to get Dennison. Even if he's the RGC it will be a boost for the OL . When he was with the Saints , Dennison was very involved with the OL,when we hired him at 1st I thought he would be OL coach, but then KK brought in Benton. So if he is not OL coach he'll be as valuable as a OL coach

[LayneStaley]

So do we know what Dennison was hired as? Most likely OL right?

I just highlighted two coaches that came from outside that weren't highlighted in your main listing at the top of each page.

[Hellbound]

Assuming he'll be the oline coach or something to do with oline, it'll be interesting to see who on the current roster stays and goes. Have to think Miller can easily adapt. The two we drafted last year seem like they can succeed in the zone system. Parham & Meredith could adapt and/or be depth. JPJ fit? Is he traded? Glaze get moved inside or is he even a fit? With better coaching alone, this unit is improved over last years disaster

[chucker]

Dennison on staff was a pretty predicable outcome. Happy to see it, and I hope we have a good oline coach working under him to hopefully develop as the future leader of that group.

[rich72]

I hope we get a good O-line coach. Mike Tice was the best one I can remember we had and that was a long time ago.

[KillerRaider30]

I want Rick Dennison 67y as our oline coach. He has 30 years of NFL experience and read he wants to get back into coaching if the right situation appears.
I feel at his age he'll be very happy coaching the oline and letting the young bucks (Kubiak) run the show.

He's probably over qualified for the job and to that i say, let's gooo!

He’s already on staff

[Goodtimes333]

He's been receivers coach, offensive coordinator or passing game coordinator since 2000. Pretty solid resume. All over college and with the Bears, Jets, Broncos & Steelers

[Danchinho]

Are we being a bit slow filling all these other coaching positions?

Are other teams moving at roughly the same pace?

We were the last team to hire a head coach

[Danchinho]

We were the last team to hire a head coach

Yep, totally get that. I’m not being critical, just asking how long does it take to fill all the positions or is that like asking how long is a piece of string?

Are we slow?

If yes, is that because we were last so not as much on offer or maybe because Spytek and Kubiak are being a little over cautious?
Genuinely curious, I know F all about this.

I can’t imagine it having gone any better than it has. IF, we did miss out on a hire that Coach Kubes wanted, he moved so swiftly to a hypothetical “Option B” that no one has spoken or reported of its existence, unless it’s a “get them clicks” article.

Seattle wins the Super Bowl with Klint Kubiak the Offensive Coordinator on February 8th. He is officially announced as Head Coach of the Raiders on February 10th. (After having “unofficially” said he’ll be our HC while standing on the field in Santa Clara where he just finished waxing the Pats.)


Then…

Mike McCoy, Assistant Head Coach. Feb 13, 2026
Andrew Janocko, Offensive Coordinator. Feb 15, 2026
Rob Leonard, Defensive Coordinator. Feb 15, 2026
Joe DeCamillis, ST Coordinator. Feb 16, 2026
Travis Smith, Defensive Line Coach. Feb 16, 2026
Matt Robinson, Safeties Coach. Feb 16, 2026
Zach Azzanni, Wide Receivers Coach. Feb 17 2026
Rick Dennison, Senior Offensive Advisor. Feb 17 2026
Joe Woods, Def Pass Game Coordinator. Feb 18, 2026

10 days after winning the Super Bowl, the only thing important we have yet to hear “officially” is if Rick Dennison will take on the coaching of the Offensive Line, or if that is a hire still to be named. The other coaching vacancies that haven’t “officially” been filled are QB, RB, LB, per Raiders.com

We’re having the best, most professionally run offseason that I can remember.
