Ben Johnson is, indeed, coming to coach at Allegiant Stadium.
He, of course, will be bring the Chicago Bears with him to face the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
Johnson, of course, was at the top of the Raiders’ wish list n January when they were looking to replace the fired Antonio Pierce. Johnson, then the Detroit Lions’ offensive coordinator, was considered the coaching prize of the 2025 coaching hiring cycle.
To some people’s surprise, Johnson agreed to talk to the Raiders despite them not being considered an overly attractive opening and the fact that had a big question at quarterback. But Johnson did talk to Tom Brady and company and, in fact, some media members considered the Raiders the favorite to land Johnson.
In the end, he went to Chicago to coach Caleb Williams.
The Raiders turned their attention t0 Pete Carroll. Now, Johnson and Carroll will square off Sunday in a battle of 1-2 teams.
