The future of the Las Vegas Raiders may take shape in Miami early next week,
The team’s brass, led by part owner Tom Brady and general manager John Spytek, will be traveling to South Florida to watch Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza in the National Championship game against Miami. It will kick start a process that is currently expected to end with Mendoza being the No. 1 overall draft pick by the Raiders in April.
While in Miami, the Raiders will be working on their other major task this offseason — finding a new head coach.
According to multiple reports the Raiders will interview former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel for the opening. He was recently fired. He is getting other head-coaching interest and is also a hot offensive coordinator candidate. McDaniel is the 14th reported candidate for the job.
He is the ninth offensive coach and fourth candidate with head-coaching experience.
While the Raiders have cast a wide net in their search, there are signs it is moving along in the process. Several reports stated the Raiders will have a second interview with Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero in Florida. Monday is the first day teams can talk to NFL employees in person. Evero is the first known candidate to get a second interview with Las Vegas.
