Follow usThe Las Vegas Raiders parted ways with Defensive Line coach Frank Okam, whose tenure in Sin City was full of criticism, the NFL team announced.
Okam was brought in by Defensive Coordinator Patrick Graham in 2022, but he failed to make an impact with the Raiders recording just 21.5 sacks throughout the whole season.
He had served as the Carolina Panthers’ Assistant Defensive Line Coach in 2020 and then Defensive Line Coach in 2021, not to mention plenty of experience under Matt Rhule at Baylor University.
Okam also spent six years in the league, with tenures with the Houston Texans, Seattle Seahawks, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and New York Giants before retiring in 2013.
Josh McDaniels and the Raiders will continue to find a suitable replacement, with Ede Rushers Coach Matt Edwards and Defensive Assistant Rob Ryan looking like potential candidates to take over that spot.
