RAIDERS SQUAD SHOW: Las Vegas RAIDERS finalize 2026 COACHING STAFF | Fernando MENDOZA or Ty SIMPSON?

The Las Vegas Raiders have officially finalized their 2026 coaching staff under Klint Kubiak, including the addition of Ben Wilkerson as Assistant Offensive Line Coach — but notably, no dedicated QB coach. What does that mean for the future of the quarterback room? On this episode of Raiders Squad Show, Lincoln Kennedy, Q Myers, and Shantelle Chand break down the full Raiders coaching staff, discuss whether the structure signals a run-first identity, and debate how this impacts the team’s quarterback development plans. We also dive into Fernando Mendoza’s NFL Combine media session and react to Dan Orlovsky’s comments claiming Ty Simpson’s tape is better. Plus, are the Raiders preparing to start Aidan O’Connell as a bridge QB? Could there be a market for Geno Smith with Vikings rumors circulating? All that and your questions answered live.
