raiders just hired getsy
In his reintroductory news conference last month, Raiders coach Antonio Pierce said he wanted a "minimum 24 points" out of a new offensive coordinator, after the Raiders averaged 19.5 points per game under former coach Josh McDaniels and interim offensive coordinator Bo Hardegree.
To average 24 points, the Raiders would need to score 408 points, a mark they have hit only three times since their 2002 Super Bowl season.
Pierce said an incoming offensive coordinator would have to be a teacher who can "adjust on the fly" during games.
"You've got to be able to run the football -- play-action pass," Pierce said. "What are the Raiders known for? The vertical passing game, right? We want to see the shots down the field. We want the explosive plays. That has to be a part of the creativity. You look at the shifts, the motions, all that stuff goes into it ... just think of when [the] Raiders were playing really good football, and that's going to be your offensive coordinator, hopefully, as we go forward."
