Gus Bradley has been named the Las Vegas Raiders’ new defensive coordinator.
Bradley served as the Chargers’ defensive coordinator the past four seasons, where he joined Anthony Lynn when he was brought on as the head coach.
Las Vegas’ demand for Bradley came as no surprise. He served as head coach Jon Gruden’s linebackers coach from 2006-08 during their time with the Buccaneers.
In the four seasons, Los Angeles finished in the top 10 in points allowed twice and the top 10 in yards allowed three times.
However, he was unable to have a lot of success the last two seasons. Injuries occurred to key defenders, but he was unable to make adjustments, especially in crucial situations.
Prior to joining L.A., Bradley was the Jaguars’ head coach, finishing with a 14-48 record in four seasons. He was coveted for his revelation of the Seahawks’ “Legion of Boom,” a defense that wreaked havoc in the league before his time in Jacksonville.
The Chargers will fill the vacancy when their new head coach is hired.
