The Las Vegas Raiders almost have their coaching staff completely filled out, as they have a few other positions that need to be filled.
After hiring Cadillac Williams as the running back coach this week, the last major position that needs to be filled is the QB coach, which was held down by Bo Hardegree previously before he was promoted to interim offensive coordinator when Josh McDaniels and his staff were on board.
Now they need a new one, but that could be coming soon, according to NFL insider Jeremy Fowler at ESPN. Here is his latest report on the situation:
Rich Scangarello is considered the front-runner for the Raiders quarterbacks coaching job. Fowler reported that he was in the building this week, and a deal could happen very soon.
