The coaching search of the Las Vegas Raiders may be approaching its end.
The Raiders have researched several candidates, hoping to replace the departed Antonio Pierce and begin the process of building a contender.
Despite all the interviews, the conversation has always shifted towards a single name: Ben Johnson.
The 38-year-old offensive coordinator of the Detroit Lions is one of the top candidates in this coaching cycle, and the Raiders have emerged as the shocking favorite to acquire his services.
Minority owner Tom Brady has courted Johnson and convinced him to interview with the Raiders, and the team has reportedly become ‘enamored’ with him.
