Las Vegas Raiders at Denver Broncos: 3 things to watch in Week 6

How does Rich Bisaccia fill his new role

Late Monday evening, it was announced that special teams and assistant coach Rich Bisaccia would be taking over as the interim head coach. Many are wondering how Bisaccia will function in his new role, with some assuming he’ll be doing less than some may think.

Honestly, that will probably be the case. Bisaccia will just function as an overall leader of the team and will keep everything organized. If anything, he’ll have some input on play calls but he probably won’t be making the overall decisions on the field.

That will be left up to his coordinators, Gus Bradley, and Greg Olsen. Bradley already does most, if not all, of his play calling and game planning without input from the head coach. Olsen, on the other hand, is going to have to adjust to his elevated role as a play-caller, but his relationship with Carr should make that go smoothly.

What will be most interesting is how Bisaccia handles the responsibility as the team’s leader and motivator. Will he respond well and be a morale booster for a team that’s somewhat in shambles? Or will his coaching style and personality not be enough for the players? I believe it will be the former rather than the latter, but only time will tell.
