Steelers' playoff dud cracked the door open for Raiders dream coaching scenario

The Las Vegas Raiders are in the midst of an extensive coaching search, as they are meeting with nearly every top candidate, and even some under-the-radar options, in this year's hiring cycle. The consensus is that the organization should target a young offensive guru to pair with potential No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza.

That has not stopped them from meeting with defensive-minded or veteran coaches, however, as they appear to be covering every base. While Las Vegas is one of eight teams that are looking for a new head coach, that list could grow following the Pittsburgh Steelers' embarrassing 30-6 home playoff loss to the Houston Texans.
