Report: Raiders Interview TEs Coach Bobby Johnson For HC Job

According to Adam Caplan, the Raiders interviewed TEs coach Bobby Johnson earlier this week as part of their head-coaching search.

By interviewing Johnson, the Raiders have fulfilled the Rooney Rule requirements.

Josina Anderson reports that the NFL informed the Fritz Pollard Alliance that the Raiders actually interviewed two minority candidates to meet the Rooney Rule requirements.

As for Johnson, Caplan says he has command, is a good teacher, and players respond to him.

It’s clear that this is Jon Gruden’s job if he wants it and all indications are that he’s going to accept the offer when/if it’s made.
