The Las Vegas Raiders are reportedly one of at least four teams a top NFL insider expects to pursue former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel.
The Raiders have a very interesting few weeks ahead of them. The franchise was one of the multiple teams to fire their head coach during the 2023 NFL season. However, unlike the Los Angeles Chargers and Carolina Panthers, their interim head coach made a heck of a case for himself during his time leading the team.

In nine games as the Las Vegas head coach, Antonio Pierce went 5-4, earned a pair of blowout wins, and went on the road and surprisingly won in Kansas City. He did it all while trying to unify an unhappy locker room and working around an average, at best, quarterback situation.
Las Vegas Raiders expected to show interest in Mike Vrabel
While the former linebackers coach is sure to be a favorite to land the job in 2024, the organization must do their due diligence in finding their next head coach and there are some impressive options on the market. Beyond highly touted Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, a pair of future Hall-of-Famers, Bill Belichick and Pete Carroll, are now available.

However, there is another interesting option that The Atletic’s NFL insider Dianna Russini believes the Raiders will certainly be talking to soon. And that is former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel. In a Thursday report about the reasons Vrabel was ousted in Tennessee, she claimed “Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Washington, and New England” would all be in the chase for the 2021 NFL Coach of the Year.
Over the last few weeks, Vrabel has been seen as a top candidate for the Patriots job due to his connections to the franchise as a former star who helped them win three Super Bowl titles.
