"When the Raiders made the move this offseason to hire Pete Carroll as their head coach, all heads turned towards the offense. Carroll, one of just three coaches in football history to win a college national title and a Super Bowl, is renowned for his defense but has always been reliant on a good offensive coordinator to carry that side of the ball."
"Kelly is known for his run schemes. He's typically built his offenses around the zone run, going back to his Oregon days, but Kelly has always incorporated a wide variety of schemes into his rushing attack. He'll use gap schemes, pull linemen, run counter, inside or outside, and everything in between. The option - read option and RPO - has also been a staple of Kelly's offenses over the years."
Pete Carroll moved to the Raiders as head coach and prioritized improving the offense despite a defensive reputation. The Raiders lacked offensive talent at quarterback and among skill players but held high draft picks and cap space to upgrade the roster. Carroll hired Chip Kelly from Ohio State to run the offense, and the team added quarterbacks and skill-position talent, trading for Geno Smith and drafting running back Ashton Jeanty sixth pick, plus receivers and offensive linemen. Kelly's offenses emphasize a diverse rushing attack—zone, gap, pulls, counters, options and RPOs—and require a quarterback who stays in rhythm and a running back who can produce explosive plays. Smith fits the bill of the former.
