After the abrupt end of Jon Gruden’s management and the pleasant surprise that Rich Bisaccia represented at the head of the raiders, Mark Davis is already looking for the new Las Vegas coach and is very interested in an element of the Patriots.
According to information from Ian Rapoport, of NFL Network, the Raiders have requested an interview with Josh McDaniels, New England Offensive Coordinator.
It was added that Raiders owner Davis has been looking for McDaniels for a couple of weeks. and the Patriots coach is one of the leading candidates for the Las Vegas head-coaching job.
The Raiders have an interest in multiple elements of New England. Dave Ziegler, who serves in the Patriots recruiting department, met with the club for the general manager vacancy and Jerod Mayo, linebackers coach, is also on Davis’s list of candidates.
Other coordinators who could become the 21st coach in Raiders history are DeMeco Ryans (DC from San Francisco), Todd Bowles (DC from Tampa Bay) and Bisaccia.
It was also previously reported that Jim Harbaugh could return to the NFL hand in hand with the Nevada club after six years of absence.
The Patriots, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN, They already have a contingency plan if McDaniels leaves the club. Bill O’Brien, who is Alabama’s offensive coordinator and previously coached the Texans, he could rejoin the league with New England.
Light and shadow
Although McDaniels he is constantly mentioned in the coaching market (in 2020 he was linked with the Browns), He has had practically no chances in the league.
The reason is that in 2009 and 2010 he coached the Broncos and went 11-17. In 2018 he accepted the position of head coach of the Colts, but he immediately turned down the job and returned to Gillette Stadium.
By comparison, during 14 years as the Patriots’ offensive coordinator (2005-2008 and 2012-present), New England has had a top 10 offense in the championship nine times. and in two campaigns it was the most productive attack.
