A dramatic shakeup has taken place at the Raiders, with the recent firing of head coach Pete Carroll leading to a major staff overhaul. As of February 6th, 2026, the team has begun its housecleaning process, and the future of many coaches is uncertain.
While some staff members have already secured positions elsewhere, such as DC Patrick Graham joining the Steelers, there are still a handful of potential holdovers whose fate remains unclear.
Today, we delve into the names still listed on the Raiders' website, offering a glimpse into the potential future of the coaching staff.
Offensive Coaches:
- RBs Coach Deland McCullough
- TEs Coach Luke Steckel
- QC Connor McQueen
Defensive Coaches:
- DL Coach Rob Leonard
- Asst. DL Coach Kenyon Jackson
- DBs/PGC Joe Woods
- QC Rip Rowan
But here's where it gets controversial... While these coaches are still listed, it doesn't guarantee their return. The key names to watch are Rob Leonard and Joe Woods. Leonard's work with the defensive line has earned him respect, and his familiarity with Klint Kubiak's staff could be a deciding factor. Similarly, Joe Woods' experience as the DC in New Orleans in 2024 might make him a valuable asset.
And this is the part most people miss... The absence of the Carroll name, particularly Brennan Carroll, has been a relief for many. With the new coaching staff taking shape, the Raiders are poised for a fresh start.
So, what do you think? Will these holdovers be retained, or will the Raiders continue their housecleaning? Share your thoughts and predictions in the comments below!
