Las Vegas Raiders: Top 5 head coach choices for next NFL season

Top 3 potential head coach candidates for the Raiders

Who else would be a good fit for the head coach position?

#3 - Eric Bienemy

Should the Raiders defense remain as strong a unit as it is right now, and Gus Bradley isn't hired by another team as head coach, the team could look to hire the offensive coordinator of the Chiefs, Eric Bienemy.

Bienemy might be one of the more high-level coaches that teams will look to bring in to be their next head coach, so the Raiders will have to make their offer quite enticing. Also, with Davis and general manager Mike Mayock, there is no telling how much control Bienemy will have over the team's hiring and drafting.

#2 - Todd Bowles

Todd Bowles could be another potential head coach, as he is currently the defensive offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Bowles may not want to leave his station just yet, as he could be waiting in the wings to take over when Bruce Arians decides to hang up.

Bowles had his time as head coach for the New York Jets but was mostly a disappointment. He could very well not want to return to the elevated coaching position just yet, and teams may not trust him to better their stations as a team in the first place. Bowles could help shore up the Raiders defense even more.

#1 - Jason Garrett

Jason Garrett could be a dark horse candidate to interview for the head coach job. However, he is also only two seasons removed from being let go of those duties for the Cowboys. Garrett is now the offensive coordinator for the New York Giants and has done a decent job considering all their injuries.

The Raiders could look to Garrett to potentially turn Derek Carr into the player that Dak Prescott has become. Garrett is more of an offensive-minded coach, so again, should Bradley remain with the team, Garrett could be the smarter choice in attempting to elevate the Raiders offense to greater heights.
