Brady is supposedly only in an advisory role for the Raiders, though several league sources are convinced his influence is much greater.

Mike Vrabel was believed to be a candidate for the Las Vegas Raiders’ vacant head coaching job. However, he was never interviewed by the organization because he reportedly told his former teammate—and Raiders minority owner—Tom Brady that he was going to New England, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

A few days after firing head coach Antonio Pierce, the Las Vegas Raiders made it known they wanted a reset at the general manager position as well. They fired Tom Telesco, and are now in business for a new general manager.

Antonio Pierce and Tom Telesco were relieved from their duties with the Raiders following a disastrous 4-13 campaign.

The Las Vegas Raiders minority owner may be giving the team a unique advantage due to his job with Fox Sports.

Telesco, who was hired in January 2024, appeared to be safe after the Raiders announced they were firing Antonio Pierce on Tuesday. However, Telesco would join Pierce two days later as the Raiders—under some influence of minority owner Tom Brady—decided to do a drastic overhaul at the top.

It’s unclear whether the Raiders are as interested in Sanders as he is in them. Tom Brady, who recently joined the franchise as a minority owner, is spearheading the search for a coach and general manager after the dismissal of Tom Telesco on Thursday. Brady will have a significant voice in the Raiders’ decisions.

The greatest reunion of the century could be in the workings with former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady reportedly reaching out to coach Bill Belichick for the vacant head coaching job with the Las Vegas Raiders.

Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is among the top names in this year's NFL head coaching cycle —and according to one NFL insider, he's become "the candidate to watch" for one team in particular.
