Nick Holz Returns to Las Vegas Raiders as Pass Game Coordinator

A Familiar Face in the Building

During his first stint with the Raiders, Holz climbed the coaching ladder:

• Offensive assistant (2012–2014)

• Offensive quality control coach (2015–2016)

• Assistant receivers coach (2017)

• Offensive quality control coach (2018–2020)

• Assistant receivers coach (2021)

He then broadened his résumé:

• 2022: Offensive coordinator at UNLV Rebels football

• 2023: Passing game coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars

• 2024–25: Offensive coordinator for the Titans

Now, he returns to Las Vegas with significantly more experience including full offensive play-calling duties at the NFL level.

New Offensive Brain Trust

Holz will work under:

• Head coach Klint Kubiak

• Offensive coordinator Andrew Janocko

Given Kubiak’s system roots in play-action, wide zone, and quarterback-friendly concepts, Holz’s background in pass structure and receiver development could be a key piece of the offensive rebuild.

Why This Matters

The Raiders are attempting to stabilize an offense that has struggled for consistency in recent seasons. Bringing back a coach who understands the organization but now carries coordinator-level experience signals an emphasis on continuity blended with growth.

Holz isn’t just returning as a support staffer. He’s coming back with real play-calling scars and experience and that could matter as Las Vegas reshapes its offensive identity heading into the 2026 season.
