As of this writing, Gerald Alexander was still shown as the safeties coach on the Raiders’ website. Expect that to change soon. Alexander has accepted the DB coach position with the Steelers.
Steelers are hiring Gerald Alexander as their new DB coach, per source.

This is a return to Pittsburgh for Alexander who was the Steelers’ assistant DB coach in 2022-23. Prior to that he was the DB coach for two seasons in Miami.
Alexander was a very popular coach with the Raiders. He spent one season in Las Vegas and is credited with helping Tre’von Moehrig to have his best season in the NFL.
It may not be a coincidence that the Raiders reportedly hired Florida assistant DB coach Beyah Rasool to a position not yet revealed on the Raiders defensive staff. The Raiders also did not bring back cornerbacks coach Ricky Manning Jr, meaning this is officially a complete overhaul of the Raiders secondary coaching staff.
