Summary

The Las Vegas Raiders coaching staff continues to take shape under Klint Kubiak, and we break down every move on this episode of Raiders Squad Show with Q Myers, Amber Theoharis & Shantelle Chand. The Raiders have hired Ronnell Williams as Linebackers Coach, Travis Smith as Defensive Line Coach, Al Holcomb as Senior Defensive Assistant, Zach Azzanni as Wide Receivers Coach, and Matt Robinson as Safeties Coach. The team has also requested to speak with Vikings assistant offensive coordinator Jordan Traylor for Quarterbacks Coach and is expected to hire Seahawks run game coordinator & senior offensive advisor Rick Dennison, according to CBS Sports. Are these the right moves? Which hire is the best fit? Any surprises? And what does this tell us about the direction Klint Kubiak is taking this Raiders team? We also react to Colin Cowherd’s comments about Fernando Mendoza potentially being drafted by the Raiders and break down what to watch for at the NFL Combine. How much should the Raiders value combine performance? What do we need to see from Mendoza? And which other prospects could rise up the Raiders’ draft board?
