  • Tom Brady will have a chance to hire his head coach for the Las Vegas Raiders. While the belief is the front-runner will be Mike Vrabel, the Raiders will face some stiff competition.

The article discusses the possibility of Tom Brady influencing the hiring of the next head coach for the Las Vegas Raiders, following the dismissal of Josh McDaniels. Despite Brady's legendary status and his recent investment in the Raiders as a minority owner, the NFL's Rooney Rule complicates his potential involvement. The Rooney Rule mandates that teams must interview at least two external minority candidates for head coaching positions, which means Brady's preferred candidate, potentially someone like Jim Harbaugh, would not be an automatic choice. The article highlights that while Brady's opinion might carry weight, the Raiders' management, led by Mark Davis, must adhere to league policies, making the hiring process more complex. Additionally, the article speculates on other potential candidates like Antonio Pierce, who has interim experience, and the broader implications of Brady's involvement in team decisions.
