Defensive coordinator may have options
The Las Vegas Raiders have interest in keeping defensive coordinator Patrick Graham on Pete Carroll’s new staff.
Yet, they have competition.
Graham, whose contract with the Raiders has expired after a three-season stint there, interviewed Monday to be the Jacksonville Jaguars’ defensive coordinator. He interviewed twice for their head-coaching job before Liam Coen was hired. Now, he has a chance to land on Coen’s staff.
Yet, Graham could also return to the Raiders.
The Athletic reported he is one of three known candidates, so far, to be Carroll’s defensive coordinator along with Raider’ defensive line coach Rob Leonard and Seattle Seahawks’ defensive backs coach/passing game coordinator Karl Scott, who was on Carroll’s staff there.
Monday, at his introductory press conference, Carroll said he plans to bring some coaches from his Seattle days to Las Vegas, along with adding some coaches he’s never worked with and keeping some of the members from Antonio Pierce’s staff.
Time will tell if Graham will be part of it.
