The head coaching vacancy comes after the organization fired Antonio Pierce after a 4-13 record in his first full season. Pierce takes over in mid-2023, replacing Josh McDaniels, who was fired after a 3-5 start.

The Raiders’ interest in the coach is unclear at this time, but it’s worth mentioning that the family has a long-standing relationship with new minority owner and NFL legend Tom Brady. Las Vegas owner Mark Davis made it clear that the seven-time Super Bowl champion will play a key role in the team’s selection of a new head coach, general manager and quarterback.
Brady has coached Scheider over the years and even signed the 22-year-old to an NIL contract in 2022.
Could the Raiders hire Deion as head coach at Brady’s suggestion, then trade and draft Scheidel to usher in a new era of silver-and-black football? Only time will tell.
