The Las Vegas Raiders have officially introduced their next offensive coordinator. In a press conference Friday, Luke Getsy addressed the upcoming season and the questions that are lingering with the offense.
Getsy said that from afar he has seen positive things from quarterback Aidan O’Connell, who started 10 games last season after taking the job from veteran Jimmy Garoppolo.
“Without even knowing him or talking to him about anything yet, I could tell you right now that guy has got to be someone that prepares his butt off and is a great teammate,” Getsy said about last year’s rookie signal-caller, via The Athletic. “I mean, for the guys to rally around him the way that I saw from the outside looking in, and for him to go perform in the way that he did in the end of that season, that just speaks volumes. So, I’m excited to get to know him, excited to work with him for sure.”
The Raiders were not without drama last season, from the benching of Garoppolo to head coach Josh McDaniels being fired on Oct. 31. O’Connell was named the starting quarterback one day after Antonio Pierce was named the interim head coach.
