Fired the special teams coordinator of the Las Vegas Raiders Tom McMahon

• Tom McMahon was fired due to the poor performance of the special teams.
• Derius Swinton II has been named the interim coordinator of special teams.
• The Raiders now have a record of 2-7 following a series of disappointing performances.

This was reported by ESPN, Marca.

Las Vegas, Nevada — The special teams coordinator of the Las Vegas Raiders, Tom McMahon, was fired after a series of disappointing results from the team. This decision was announced by head coach Josh McDaniels on Friday, November 7, following a narrow defeat against the Denver Broncos, in which the team played with a score of 10-7.

It begins that the assistant special teams coach Derius Swinton II has been appointed as the interim coordinator. McMahon's firing was part of regular changes in the Raiders' coaching staff, which had been struggling in recent years.

In the match against the Broncos, blocked kicks and missed field goals by kicker Daniel Carlson were decisive moments that led to the defeat. According to ESPN, Carlson failed to convert a 48-yard field goal in the fourth quarter, which became one of many key moments that diminished the Raiders' chances of victory.

The team has already recorded several losses due to issues in special teams, including blocked kicks in matches against the Chicago Bears and Jacksonville Jaguars. Currently, the Raiders have a record of 2-7, which has officially set a new low among fans and club owners.

McDaniels expressed gratitude to McMahon for his work, but noted that changes were necessary due to the unsatisfactory results of the team. The change in the coaching staff occurs against the backdrop of increasing pressure on the team from the owners, including Tom Brady, who is now part of the ownership group.
