(2:21)Open Extended ReactionsThe Las Vegas Raiders are expected to promote run game coordinator/defensive line coach Rob Leonard to defensive coordinator, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Saturday. Leonard has worked directly with Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby, whose future with the organization remains uncertain following the hiring of first-time head coach Klint Kubiak. Leonard has been a defensive line coach in Las Vegas since 2023. The Raiders' defense was inconsistent throughout the 2025 season under former defensive coordinator Patrick Graham and coach Pete Carroll. He was a linebackers coach and assistant defensive line coach for the Miami Dolphins from 2019 to 2021 and an assistant coach for the New York Giants from 2013 to 2018.
