It’s a new era in Austria, as newly assigned head coach and defensive coordinator Jim Herrmann announced another coordinator of his staff. The Raiders Tirol signed Jeff Jagodzinski as their offensive coordinator for the 2024 season. The US-American has a long story in the college and pro football ranks, having previously worked for the Panthers Wrocław in 2021 and Philadelphia Stars (USFL) from 2022 to 2023 as the offensive line coach. "I’m really excited about being part of the Raiders Tirol. It’s great to be a part of the top organizations in the ELF. I can’t wait to put together the top players in Europe and develop the most explosive offense!", Jeff Jagodzinski said.

A new way for the Raiders

As a part of the Green Bay Packers (1999-2003; 2006), Atlanta Falcons (2004-2005) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2009) coaching staffs, Jagodzinski brings extensive experience back to the ELF. Ulz Däuber, General Manager Football: "Our offense will be led by Coach Jagodzinksi who is a veteran coach with tremendous experience. His offensive philosophy fits exactly to the skill set of our player. I can’t wait to see Coach Jagodzinski and our guys get to work in April." On offense, the Raiders are still waiting to present both A-Imports, while Herrmann as a former XFL coach is likely waiting on the US-market with the UFL starting in March.
