The Las Vegas Raiders are in the midst of a coaching search that will ultimately dictate the future of the franchise. The organization, who are expected to take Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 overall pick, is likely looking for someone who can develop the rookie quarterback as his success will be instrumental to things finally beginning to turn in the right direction.
General manager John Spytek has shown that he is willing to explore every possible avenue as he is in the process of conducting an extensive search. The Raiders have made just two postseason appearances since reaching the Super Bowl in 2002, so it is clear that the leadership group understands just how important this hire can be.
