The Las Vegas Raiders are looking for a new head coach and general manager this offseason after firing both Josh McDaniels and Dave Ziegler midway through the 2023 campaign. While they have been working on filling both positions, it sounds like their head coach search is close to coming to a conclusion.

The Raiders have conducted a thorough search for their next head coach, even though they may already have their answer in Antonio Pierce, who filled in for Las Vegas in the wake of McDaniels' firing. Regardless, Las Vegas has now gotten through all of their interviews for the head coach position, meaning that a decision should be coming in the near future.

Via Vic Tafur:

“Former Seahawks defensive coordinator Kris Richard was the second head coach candidate interviewed by the Raiders today, along with Leslie Frazier. That fulfills all NFL requirements and Raiders can now hire a head coach. Interim coach Antonio Pierce interviewed yesterday.”

The Raiders decision on their next head coach is right around the corner
