Raiders Scout Trio of Coordinators for New Coach
8 Jan
Summary
- Raiders interview three coordinators for head coach position.
- Joseph and Nagy bring previous head coaching experience.
- Webb, a former player, is seen as a rising coaching star.
The Las Vegas Raiders are in the process of selecting their next head coach, having scheduled interviews with three highly regarded coordinators. Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, and Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy are candidates for the position. Joseph and Nagy bring head coaching experience, having previously led NFL teams.
The Raiders have also expressed interest in interviewing Broncos quarterbacks coach Davis Webb, a 30-year-old former player seen as a rising talent in the coaching ranks. Webb's work with Broncos quarterback Bo Nix is noteworthy, especially as the Raiders hold the top pick in the upcoming draft and may target a new franchise quarterback. Joseph's defensive unit has been statistically strong this season.
This coaching search marks the third consecutive year the Raiders will begin a season with a new head coach, following the recent dismissal of Pete Carroll after a 3-14 record in his single season. The availability of Joseph, Kubiak, and Webb this week is due to their teams' playoff byes or the conclusion of their regular seasons.
