Stop me if you’ve heard this before: the Raiders are looking for a new head coach.
After firing Pete Carroll, who was Las Vegas’ fifth coach in five seasons, the franchise is aboard the coaching carousel once again.
With the market shaping up, a clear favorite has emerged.
Thanks to his New England connections, Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores is a heavy +125 favorite to get the job.
Flores, the architect of one of the best defenses in football over the last three seasons, worked with Raiders part-owner Tom Brady during the latter’s playing days, and has made no secret that he wants another head coaching gig.
Newly fired John Harbaugh comes in at second (+450) as the Raiders could be an attractive spot in Las Vegas with Brady as a co-owner.
Raiders next coach odds
| Coach | Odds |
|---|---|
| Brian Flores | +150 |
| John Harbaugh | +450 |
| Klint Kubiak | +800 |
| Kliff Kingsbury | +800 |
| Robert Saleh | 10/1 |
| Mike McCarthy | 10/1 |
| Chris Shula | 12/1 |
| Joe Brady | 13/1 |
| Jesse Minter | 14/1 |
| Vance Joseph | 14/1 |
| Jeff Hafley | 14/1 |
| Bill Belichick | 16/1 |
Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, who helped Seattle earn the No. 1 seed in the NFC this season, is the third-favorite, all the way down at +800.
Two intriguing head coaches who are likely to be in the mix for other jobs during this coaching cycle are next on the list.
Ex-Jets head coach Robert Saleh and ex-Packers and Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy are both 10/1 to take over in Las Vegas.
Betting on the NFL?
One wild card is a long shot to get the job in what would be one of the biggest stories in recent NFL history: Bill Belichick.
Belichick and Brady, of course, have a long, storied history together — a history with so much behind it that a reunion is impossible to imagine.
