The Las Vegas Raiders have made another addition to the coaching staff, hiring James Cregg as the team’s offensive line coach, according to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport.
Cregg, 50, spent this past season as the San Francisco 49ers’ assistant offensive line coach, helping guide San Francisco to a Super Bowl run. This was his second season with the 49ers after getting hired in 2022.
Before that, the Norco, Calif. native played college football at Colorado State in the mid-90s, where he was an All-Conference offensive lineman. That’s also where his coaching career began as a graduate assistant ahead of stops at Colgate and Idaho.
In 2007, Cregg broke into the NFL with the then-Oakland Raiders as the Silver and Black’s assistant offensive line coach for two seasons, making this his second stint with the club in two different cities. He was a part of Lane Kiffin’s staff and followed Kiffin to Tennessee and USC after leaving the Raiders, serving as both school’s offensive line coach.
Cregg then spent a few more seasons back at the professional level with the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers, nearly completing a sweep of the AFC West by coaching for three out of the division’s four teams.
