Raiders Elevate Rob Leonard to Defensive Coordinator

The Las Vegas Raiders have promoted Rob Leonard from run game coordinator/defensive line coach to defensive coordinator. In his four seasons with the team, Leonard has overseen a defense that posted strong run-stopping metrics in 2025 (2nd in rushing yards allowed per attempt, 3.9; 3rd in tackles for loss) and saw Maxx Crosby earn multiple Pro Bowls, along with solid sack production. In 2024 his unit had 38 sacks and 20 passes defensed, with 18 players recording at least a half-sack. Leonard brings 16 years of NFL coaching experience, including roles with the Ravens, Dolphins, and Giants, plus college work at NC State.
