Graham, 47, has been with the Raiders since 2022, when he was hired by Josh McDaniels as the club’s defensive coordinator. He remains on staff under former Raiders coaches Antonio Pierce and Pete Carroll.
Graham previously served as a defensive assistant with the Patriots from 2009 to 2015. He then served as the Giants’ defensive line coach from 2016 to 2017 before McCarthy hired him in 2018 as Green Bay’s linebackers coach and run game coordinator.
Graham then served as the Dolphins’ defensive coordinator in 2019 and as the Giants’ assistant head coach and defensive coordinator from 2020 to 2021.
Additionally, Dulac reports McCarthy is looking to hire former Packers offensive line coach James Campen and former Cowboys assistant line coach Ramon Kinyon. McCarthy is also expected to retain three members of former head coach Mike Tomlin’s staff: linebackers coach Scott McCurley, quarterbacks coach Tom Ath and secondary coach Gerald Alexander.
