Brady to Play a Key Role in Raiders' Search for Next Head Coach. In a surprising turn of events, the Las Vegas Raiders have announced that Tom Brady will be involved in the process of selecting their next head coach. The move comes after the team fired its current head coach, Pete Carroll, who went 3-14 in his only season with the franchise.
Brady, a minority owner of the Raiders and one of the most successful quarterbacks in NFL history, will be working closely with General Manager John Spytek to identify and hire a new head coach. The decision was made after Brady joined the team as a limited partner in 2024.
Spytek, who played offense under Brady at Michigan and later worked alongside him with the Buccaneers, will lead all football operations on behalf of the owner, Mark Davis. Together, they aim to select a coach who shares their vision for leadership, culture, and long-term goals.
The Raiders currently possess the No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, which could be crucial in selecting a top talent for the team's future. With Brady's guidance, the search for the next head coach is expected to be thorough and successful.
This move marks another significant development in the ongoing coaching carousel across the league, with several teams having already made changes. The Raiders' decision adds a new layer of complexity as they navigate the process of finding their fourth head coach in three years.

, but also kinda worried that Tom Brady's involvement might lead to some nepotism issues... I mean, he knows Spytek from Michigan and has been a minority owner since 2024 
. Maybe it'll all work out, though, if the new coach can bring some actual talent to the team instead of just Brady's ego 
. The fact that they're using the No. 1 overall pick as leverage is pretty cool tho 
... fingers crossed they make a smart pick and not another bust like last season 
.
. He's got a good track record with his coaching gigs in the past 
. The draft pick is super important too, so hopefully they find someone who can help turn the team around 
. It's not easy to build a winning team, but I'm curious to see what Spytek and Brady come up with 
And can you imagine having Brady at the helm? That guy's got an insane amount of experience and winning ways. Hopefully, whoever gets the job is up to par. 
But seriously, it shows that Mark Davis and John Spytek trust Brady's judgment and value his opinion. This partnership has all the makings of a winning combination – Brady's competitive drive, Spytek's football IQ... they could potentially find themselves a top-notch coach who'll lead the team to victory. 
One thing that intrigues me is how this might impact the team's draft strategy. Do they go with a QB or build around their current roster? 
The No. 1 pick is a major consideration, and Brady's input could sway them towards one direction or another... 
. I mean, he's a legend on the field but can he bring that same magic to the sidelines? The dude's got some serious clout with Mark Davis and John Spytek, so maybe this will actually pay off for the team. But with Pete Carroll's disastrous season still fresh in everyone's mind, it's gotta be tough to find someone who can right the ship. And let's not forget they've got the 1st pick in the draft... it's gonna be a wild ride if Brady is calling the shots 
The fact that Spytek has worked with him before makes it even more legit. I hope they find someone who can build on what Josh McDaniels had started last season... 
Also, 1st overall pick in the draft is a big deal, I hope they use it wisely and don't just settle for some guy who's gonna let the team go downhill again 
But seriously, it'll be interesting to see how he uses his influence to shape the team's future.
What could've been? You never know what's gonna happen with this pick, but I'm sure Brady and Spytek will do their best to make it count.
but for real tho, it's kinda cool that they're giving him a seat at the table. hopefully he can bring some of that Patriots magic to LV 
! I mean, the guy's got 7 rings, what does he know?
