The Las Vegas Raiders will have to decide on a new full-time head coach this offseason after firing head coach Josh McDaniels in the middle of the season. And the latest odds suggest quite a few potential candidates for the job highlighted by a few current NFL offensive coordinators.
This week, Oddsmaker released some odds on who will be the next head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders next season, headlined by current Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Kellen Moore.
Here’s the full list, via Raiders reporter Mitchell Renz:
- Kellen Moore (LAC, OC): +350
- Ben Johnson (DET, OC): +400
- Frank Smith (MIA, OC): +400
- Bill Belichick (NE, HC): +575
- Jim Harbaugh (MICH, HC): +750
- Raheem Morris (LAR, DC): +1400
- Eric Bieniemy (WAS, OC): +1500
- Dan Quinn (DAL, DC): +1800
- Mike Vrabel (TEN, HC): +1800
- The Field: +1500
Obviously, this list of potential candidates generated quite a buzz on social media with people reacting to the odds.

It’s certainly worth noting that this list also excludes Raiders interim head coach Antonio Pierce, who has seemingly done well after taking over the role midway through the season and has earned the support of the players and the fanbase.
It will definitely be interesting to see who the Raiders turn to this offseason.
