Mike Vrabel\u00a0was viewed as a hot commodity during this latest NFL coaching cycle.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/p>\n

But even with his impressive resume during his time as Titans head coach, Vrabel reportedly told several teams to not bother with a thorough interview process with them \u2014 especially with New England opening up their head-coaching position.<\/p>\n

The Raiders felt like another potential fit for Vrabel after firing head coach Antonio Pierce, given Vrabel\u2019s evident ties with Las Vegas minority owner Tom Brady.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But the Raiders were one of the few teams with a coaching vacancy to not schedule an interview with Vrabel before he took the job in New England.<\/p>\n

But the reason for that radio silence was reportedly not due to a lack of interest from Brady and the Raiders.<\/p>\n

\"Patriots<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most rumored landing spot for Mike Vrabel for months was with the Las Vegas Raiders considering they have his old friend and teammate, Tom Brady, there as the minority owner and running their coaching search,\u201d NFL Network\u2019s Tom Pelissero\u00a0said Sunday on \u201cThe Insiders.\u201d\u00a0\u201cMy understanding is the Raiders never requested an interview or tried to bring Mike Vrabel in because Vrabel essentially told Tom Brady, \u2018I\u2019m gonna end up going back to New England.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cOther teams were aware that was the likely landing spot for Mike Vrabel for quite some time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Raiders will have several options to turn to following Vrabel\u2019s decision,\u00a0headlined by Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Johnson] has quickly emerged as the candidate to watch for Las Vegas, as the Raiders \u2014 in a search that prominently includes limited partner Tom Brady \u2014 are willing to wait as long as it takes to secure their potential future head coach,\u201d\u00a0NFL Network\u2019s Ian Rapoport wrote Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cJed Hughes of the firm Korn Ferry is assisting with that search, according to me and NFL Network Insider Mike Garafolo,\u201d Rapoport added. \u201cLas Vegas is said to be enamored with Johnson, sources say.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
