Washington Commanders Offensive Coordinator Eric Bieniemy
In the offseason, offensive guru Eric Bieniemy moved on from his role with the Kansas City Chiefs. Bieniemy helped lead the Chiefs to a pair of Super Bowls as their offensive coordinator. It's no secret he's been looking for a head coaching job but ultimately landed as the Washington Commanders' offensive coordinator. If Bieniemy can continue elevating this Commander's offense, it will be hard to avoid giving him the keys to a franchise and getting a head coaching job. Will the Raiders come calling? This is certainly a question worth pondering over here.
Detroit Lions Offensive Coordinator Ben Johnson
Ironically, the first candidate we're looking at is the one who helped create an opening at the position for the Las Vegas Raiders. The Detroit Lions offense toyed with the Raiders on Monday night, and offensive coordinator Ben Johnson has emerged as an interesting candidate to be an NFL head coach. He's already interviewed for multiple head coaching positions, and it looks as though it's only a matter of time before he finally gets a shot. The Lions' high-octane offense is only boosting his resume.
Miami Dolphins Offensive Coordinator Frank Smith
If you're looking for a team that's doing some unique things on offense, look no further than the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins are averaging over 33 points per game, and we've liked what Frank Smith has brought to the table as their offensive coordinator. Smith has already had a role as an offensive coach with the Raiders, meaning there's some familiarity there. Don't be surprised if Frank Smith is a name on the Raiders shortlist to be their next head coach.
University of Michigan Head Coach Jim Harbaugh
Here's a fun one that's sure to get the people talking. University of Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh. As strong of a resume as Harbaugh has, he's right in the middle of an alleged sign-stealing scandal right now that could alter his future with the program and potential job opportunities in the NFL. Still, Harbaugh has a name that the Raiders have reportedly been interested in before, meaning it won't be a surprise to us if he's back in the conversation again. Harbaugh has helped transform some programs, but this Las Vegas job might be his hardest challenge yet.
Dallas Cowboys Defensive Coordinator Dan Quinn
There's a lot to like about Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn. He's continued to elevate one of the best defenses in the NFL and already has experience as a head coach. Sure, his time with the Atlanta Falcons will be most remembered for blowing a 28-3 lead in the Super Bowl to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, but you can't take away from the fact that he helped lead them to the biggest stage in sports. Quinn has been interviewed for head coaching positions but has ultimately stayed put with the Cowboys. Is this a potential opportunity that could intrigue him enough to leave if given the job?
