Raiders fire offensive coordinator Greg Knapp
Raiders Offense - TM - Oakland Raiders

Raiders fired OC Greg Knapp.

The Raiders have also fired interior line coach Frank Pollack. Translation, goodbye zone-blocking scheme. It was disastrous one-year stint for Knapp in Oakland, as he refused to adjust his beloved ZBS despite having one of the premier power runners in the game at his disposal in Darren McFadden. The Raiders went from averaging 22.4 points under Hue Jackson in 2011 to 18.1. An impressive majority of those points came in garbage time. Knapp has likely coordinated his last offense, but his run-game prowess should earn him a position coach job for 2013.
