The Raiders will hire USC wide receiver coach Ted Gilmore to coach wide receivers, replacing Sanjay Lal, according to a report in the Los Angeles Times.
Gilmore coached one of the most productive groups of wide receivers in the country on the staff of former Raiders coach Lane Kiffin.

FootballScoop is proud to announce that Ted Gilmore (USC) is the 2011 FootballScoop Wide Receivers Coach of the Year presented by SpeedTracs.
Ted Gilmore was hired in February of 2011 to work with the Trojan receivers, and his guys were exceptionally impressive this season. In his first season with the Trojans, Ted Gilmore had the opportunity to mold two young receivers into some of the most feared route runners in the college game. Prior to coming to USC, Gilmore spent six seasons at Nebraska as the recruiting coordinator and receivers coach.
Head coach Lane Kiffin told FootballScoop, "Ted did a tremendous job with our wide receivers this year. Not only did he help guide a sophomore and a freshman -- Robert Woods and Marqise Lee -- to the most combined receptions for two players among BCS schools this year in the regular season, but he also got the most out of our entire receiving corps. Our receiving unit was arguably the best in the nation and Ted played a major role in that."
