The Las Vegas Raiders find themselves in their yearly unenviable position as the 2025 NFL season comes to a close. They didn't land their top choice in the coaching cycle, Ben Johnson, and their contingency plan, Pete Carroll, has been an utter disaster. Las Vegas is 2-12 and uncompetitive.
Johnson's Chicago Bears, of course, are 11-4 and not far from being the NFC's top team. This dichotomy has proven to Raider Nation once again just how important it is to land the right coach. Unfortunately, the upcoming coaching cycle isn't exactly robust with projected future stars.
There are no viable successors currently on the staff, so Las Vegas will have to try its luck finding someone outside the building.
