The Las Vegas Raiders have continued to do their due diligence amid their ongoing head coach search. John Spytek clearly realizes just how important a decision the hire will be, particularly with the franchise holding the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and likely set to take Fernando Mendoza.
The front office has already held meetings with at least five candidates, while they have requested interviews with another six. The group has been a mixed bag, as it includes offensive and defensive coaches, as well as potential first-time head coaches and veteran retreads.
Las Vegas has also reportedly talked with one of the most coveted names, and certainly the most well-known.
