It’s no secret that the Las Vegas Raiders have been trying to pluck Bill Belichick’s brain and create their own version of “the Patriot way” this offseason.
After hiring Josh McDaniels as head coach, Mick Lombardi as offensive coordinator and Carmen Bricillo to be the offensive line coach, the linkage between New England and Las Vegas is strong. Even new defensive coordinator Patrick Graham and a handful of front office executives like general manager Dave Ziegler have spent time working for Belichick and the Pats.
However, ‘The Hoodie’ wasn’t going to let everyone walk out the door as he blocked tight ends and fullbacks coach Nick Caley from interviewing with the Raiders, according to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer.
