Raiders set to interview interim HC Rich Bisaccia
The Las Vegas Raiders' season came to an end only four days ago, but they're not wasting any time getting ready for the 2022 campaign.
The organization is set to conduct an interview with Chicago Bears executive Champ Kelly on Thursday and New England Patriots director of player personnel on Friday -- both for the general manager position. On Wednesday, however, the team will have an interview for their head-coaching job with a guy who's pretty familiar with the gig.
Bisaccia started the 2021 season as assistant head coach and special teams coordinator for Las Vegas, only to be named interim head coach in October following the resignation of Jon Gruden. Bisaccia led the Raiders to a 7-5 record over the final dozen games and helped them qualify for the postseason with a last-second victory in Week 18 over the Los Angeles Chargers.
Las Vegas fell to the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC wild-card round on Saturday.
Prior to being named interim head coach, Bisaccia had held the assistant head coach and special teams coordinator positions since Gruden hired him in 2018. The 61-year-old was originally hired by Gruden in 2002 when he was the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to The Athletic.
