Raiders coaching staff 2024: Getting to know Mike Caldwell.

The Las Vegas Raiders have allegedly signed Mike Caldwell as linebackers and run defensive coordinator. Let us get to know him.
It’s January 14, 2012. We are at Candlestick Park in San Francisco. With 14 seconds remaining, down three, and facing a third down, the 49ers need a touchdown to keep their playoff hopes alive – without going into overtime. Meanwhile, the Saints can end this with a takeaway and travel to the NFC Championship Game themselves. To understand how we got here and appreciate what this moment signifies, we must rewind.
Last month, it was rumored that the Raiders were contemplating Caldwell as a successor for defensive coordinator Patrick Graham if he was hired as head coach. If the Raiders’ defense performs well again in 2024, Graham will be a top head-coaching contender. Caldwell could be an inside candidate to succeed him.
