Who Will Coach the Raiders Next? Betting Odds Reveal the Favorites
The NFL coaching carousel is in full swing, and with it, the betting odds are heating up. Currently, the spotlight is on Brian Flores, the Vikings defensive coordinator. He's the top pick to land the Raiders' head coach job, with odds at +175 on DraftKings.
Flores's contract with the Vikings is up, and he's free to explore other opportunities. Even if he re-signs with Minnesota, he can still leave for a head coaching role elsewhere. There's buzz about a potential "Patriot Way" reunion in Las Vegas, involving Flores as head coach and Brian Daboll as offensive coordinator.
But Flores isn't the only name in the mix. Here are the other contenders:
- Klint Kubiak (Seahawks OC) - +800
- Robert Saleh (49ers DC) - +1000
- Mike McCarthy (Former Coach) - +1000
- Chris Shula (Rams DC) - +1200
- Todd Monken (Ravens OC) - +1200
- Vance Joseph (Broncos DC) - +1200 or higher
- Bill Belichick - +1600
- Jon Gruden (Former Raiders Coach) - 40-1
The betting odds are just one piece of the puzzle. They reflect public opinion and betting patterns, not necessarily the team's actual plans. Time will tell who the Raiders ultimately choose.
