Less than an hour after Las Vegas Raiders’ interim coach Rich Bisaccia said he expects to be a candidate for the full-time job, reports broke that the Raiders are beginning the process of opening up the interview process with other candidates.
In an interesting twist, Raiders owner Mark Davis is also reportedly starting the process of interviewing candidates for the general manager job. Current general manager Mike Mayock is still in place and hasn’t been fired. That is extremely unusual.
ESPN has reported that the Raiders have asked permission to interview New England Patriots’ inside linebackers coach Jerod Mayo for the head-coaching job and front office executive Davie Ziegler for the general manager position.
