Coaching options the Raiders should consider

The Las Vegas Raiders will be making many important decisions this offseason, including what they want to do with their head coaching position. Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce could be out at the end of the season, but the Raiders have plenty of replacement options.

Vinnie Iyer of The Sporting News recently released his list of top options for the Raiders.

“Brian Flores, Vikings defensive coordinator (Age: 43)

“Flores needs his second shot after getting into the mess in Miami,” Iyer said. “He is a strong candidate for Coordinator of the Year as he has led the ideal offensive group in Minnesota. His Patriots connections to Brady and Belichick don’t hurt.

Mike Vrabel, former Titans head coach (Age: 49)

“Vrabel would be another former Brady colleague and Belichick replacement who doesn’t have the same loser vibe as Pierce’s predecessor, Brady’s longtime Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels,” Iyer said. “He has led the Titans to excel and compete well in a top-heavy AFC, and he can help the organization get things right.”

Liam Coen, Buccaneers offensive coordinator (Age: 39)

“Coen’s work with Baker Mayfield this season and his longstanding work with Sean McVay have made him a more attractive candidate in recent weeks,” Iyer said. “The Raiders definitely have him in their sights as the most sought-after young prospect from an offensive-minded coach.

Kellen Moore, Eagles offensive coordinator (Age: 36)

“Moore falls into the same category as Coen, having made the Eagles solid but still quite explosive. There has been more buzz around Moore lately that he is ready to be named a young head coach.”

Ben Johnson, Lions offensive coordinator (Age: 38)

“Johnson may have better options, including the Bears and Jets,” Iyer said. “It would be difficult for him to take a job where there is no established quarterback plan.”

Kliff Kingsbury, Commanders offensive coordinator (Age: 45)

“Kingsbury almost joined the Raiders team under Pierce before going to Washington and landing with Jayden McDaniels,” Iyer said. “He has a long history of playing quarterback with Tom Brady, so the former Cardinals coach can be lured back to the desert to work with another dynamic rookie QB.”

Deion Sanders, Colorado head coach (Age: 57)

“Sanders is trying to develop some NFL mojo with Pierce around his top two prospects, cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter and son/quarterback Shedeur Sanders,” Iyer said. “But he’s also trying to make the jump with one or both of them on his team in the NFL? No one will be shocked if Brady and Davis make Sanders an offer he can’t refuse.”
