Though the Las Vegas Raiders haven't yet fired Antonio Pierce, there's already a reported front-runner to take over as head coach should the first-year coach be dismissed.
Per Sports Illustrated's Alber Breer, Mike Vrabel could be in line for the Raiders job if Las Vegas were to fire Pierce. According to Breer, when Tom Brady began pursuing minority ownership of the Raiders last season, "some internally took it as a sign that a run at Vrabel" was imminent.
Vrabel was Brady's New England Patriots teammate from 2001 to 2008.
