The Las Vegas Raiders have hired New England Patriots wide receivers coach Mick Lombardi as their offensive coordinator, league sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The Raiders also hired former Patriots offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo for the same job in Las Vegas, a source said.
Lombardi, 33, replaces Greg Olson, who had served as Raiders offensive coordinator since being brought in with Jon Gruden in 2018. Lombardi handled the Patriots’ red zone game plan last season and McDaniels noted that he sees the offense similarly to him.
Lombardi and Bricillo are the latest members of the Patriots staff to follow new Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels to Las Vegas. Former Patriots quality control/QB coach Bo Hardegree recently agreed to become the Raiders’ new quarterbacks coach.
