Raiders to Appoint Seahawks QBs Coach Andrew Janocko as Offensive Coordinator
Andrew Janocko, at 37 years old, is set to join the Las Vegas Raiders as the offensive coordinator. His extensive coaching background includes significant experience in the NFL, starting as an offensive assistant for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2012 to 2013.
Career Progression
Following his role with the Buccaneers, Janocko took on various assistant offensive positions with the Minnesota Vikings. He worked alongside Gary Kubiak, who served as the quarterbacks coach from 2019 to 2020. Janocko continued to advance his career under Kubiak’s leadership when Kubiak became offensive coordinator for the Vikings in 2021.
Transition to Coaching Roles
- Chicago Bears: After his tenure with the Vikings, Janocko spent two years as the quarterbacks coach for the Chicago Bears.
- New Orleans Saints and Chicago Bears: In a later move, he reconnected with Kubiak, serving as offensive coordinator for the Saints in 2024 and the Bears in 2025.
Now, Janocko will bring his expertise to the Raiders. This appointment follows a challenging season for the Raiders in 2025, where they were last in the league for both scoring and total yards.
Goals for the Raiders Offense
Janocko’s collaboration with Kubiak aims to revitalize the Raiders’ offense significantly. The Seattle Seahawks, known for their scoring prowess during their Super Bowl run, will serve as a model for improvement.
With Kubiak and Janocko on the coaching staff, the Raiders are looking to reformat their struggling offense. Their combined experience is expected to create a competitive and efficient unit.
As the new coaching staff takes shape, expectations will be high for significant improvements in 2026. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how this dynamic duo will transform the Raiders’ offensive strategy.
