Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden said the process to hire a new defensive coordinator will start immediately and be a fast process.
There are already reports that Gruden has or will ask permission to talk to candidates, including former Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Gus Bradley and current Los Angeles Rams linebackers coach Joe Barry.
The #Raiders have now officially requested permission to interview #Chargers DC Gus Bradley for their vacant DC job, source said. A top candidate, along with #Falcons interim coach Raheem Morris (if he doesn’t get a head coaching job) and #Rams assistant Joe Barry.
