Kliff Kingsbury Withdraws from Las Vegas Raiders Consideration

Kliff Kingsbury, who was in line to be the Las Vegas Raiders' new offensive coordinator, is pulling out of the running for the role, according to his agent, who told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Reports on Thursday suggested that the Raiders were poised to hire Kingsbury, but he has now withdrawn from consideration. The Raiders have been looking for a new OC since Josh McDaniels resigned from the position to focus on his role as head coach. Head coach Antonio Pierce reportedly wanted Kingsbury to help develop the Raiders' young offence, including quarterback Derek Carr. Instead, Pierce will continue his search for the right candidate to fill the role.
