Raiders Hire Denver Broncos Staff, Bringing Winning Culture

0:00It's March 25th, I'm Cory with the story, and this is NFL News Today, your AI-powered football briefing. The Las Vegas Raiders' new head coach, Clint Kubiak, is building his staff with a heavy dose of former Denver Broncos coaches. His latest hire is quarterback's coach, Mike Sullivan, who held that job with Denver back in 2018. This marks at least the seventh such addition since Kubiak took over. Kubiak is also brought in by receivers coach Zachazzani, who spent four years with the Broncos, along with assistant head coach Mike McCoy. Special team's coordinator Joe Decomilis, an offensive line coach, Rick Denison, all with past tense in Denver. He even retained past game coordinator Joe Woods, who coached there from 2015 to 2018. That influence extends to the front office too, with General Manager John Spitech, executive Mark Thuse, and assistant general manager Brian Stark, each having strong Broncos ties.

1:00These moves reunite Kubiak with familiar faces from his own time as an offensive assistant and quarterbacks coach in Denver between 2000, 16 and 2018, plus a later role in 2022. Overall, it looks like Kubiak is aiming to import some of Denver's winning ways to the Raiders as they gear up for the new season.
