3 years agoThe Las Vegas Raiders hired former New York Giants defensive coordinator Patrick Graham as their new defensive coordinator on Friday night, according to sources. New head coach Josh McDaniels was able to lure Graham away from the Giants after he interviewed for the Minnesota Vikings head-coaching job. Graham was a close friend of former head coach Joe Judge, who brought him along as assistant head coach in 2020. The Giants were hoping to retain Graham under new head coach Brian Daboll, but they'll have to look in another direction now. Graham, 43, began his NFL coaching career in 2009 with the New England Patriots and will become a defensive coordinator for his third franchise over the last four seasons.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
