In a stunning and celebratory move, the Las Vegas Raiders have officially appointed former NFL great Howie Long as their new assistant coach. The announcement has sent waves of excitement through Raider Nation, as the Hall of Famer returns to the franchise where he built his legacy as a dominant defensive end.

 

Long, who spent his entire 13-season career with the Raiders and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2000, brings unmatched experience, passion, and football intelligence to the coaching staff. Known for his relentless motor and leadership on the field, Long now shifts his focus to mentoring the next generation of Raiders stars.

 

“Coaching was never part of the plan initially,” Long said in the team’s official statement. “But the opportunity to help restore the Raiders’ winning culture was one I couldn’t pass up.”

 

Team owner Mark Davis hailed the decision as a homecoming decades in the making, emphasizing Long’s deep ties to the Raiders’ storied tradition. With his old-school mentality and championship pedigree, Long’s addition is expected to bring a fiery edge to the sideline as the team looks to climb back into playoff contention.
