The Las Vegas Raiders have fired special teams coordinator Tom McMahon, per a team announcement.

Assistant special teams coach Derius Swinton II will take over the interim job. He previously was the special teams coordinator for the 49ers in 2016 and the Chargers in 2021.

McMahon arrived in Las Vegas in 2022 under new head coach Josh McDaniels. McDaniels was fired midway through his second season, but McMahon retained his job under Antonio Pierce.

He also stayed on when Pete Carroll arrived in Las Vegas this offseason, but the Raiders’ special teams woes this season forced a change. Carroll and McMahon were seen exchanging words at the end of Thursday night’s loss to the Broncos.
