The Las Vegas Raiders have interviewed Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and Tom Brady has strong feelings about the coach.

It’s pretty darn clear that new Las Vegas Raiders minority owner Tom Brady has played a major role in the shake up of the downtrodden organization.

Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is among the top names in this year's NFL head coaching cycle —and according to one NFL insider, he's become "the candidate to watch" for one team in particular.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion used his influence to encourage the Lions' offensive coordinator to meet with the Raiders about their head coaching vacancy.

The Las Vegas Raiders have emerged as a dark horse in the Ben Johnson sweepstakes, and the Chicago Bears should be very worried.

Certainly, many people will say that Ben Johnson should not become the head coach of the Raiders. The reason being — they’re so far away from being a complete roster that it will make it tough for him to win right away. Especially with such a competitive AFC West division. All of that makes sense.

Tom Brady and the Las Vegas Raiders need a new head coach. Bill Belichick is 15 wins away (including playoffs) from breaking Don Shula’s record for most wins by an NFL HC. Together, these two legends won six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots and created arguably the most impressive dynasty in football history.
