The Raiders made a ‘strong push’ to sign Jesse Minter before the Ravens moved
The The Baltimore Ravens have officially announced Jesse Minter will be the new head coach to replace John Harbaugh. However, before he accepted the job in Baltimore, rumors speculated that Las Vegas Raiders he did everything possible, but failed, to hire Minter in his place.
Reports indicate that the Raiders are the franchise was aggressive in his conversations with a 42-year-old coaching candidate. However, the Ravens found out about it and decided to swoop in and make Minter an official offer, according to Fox Sports’ Jordan Schultz.
“Just to double down on this: it sounds like Raiders made a very strong push to get Jesse Minter in the last 24 hours, and Ravens recognized it. So the timeline has sped up today, sources say.
The The Raiders were one of the first teams to request an interview with Minter after firing Pete Carroll as head coach. He seemed to be the best candidate from the start. After missing out on another contender, Las Vegas will have to go back to the drawing board and find their next head coach elsewhere.
For now, it remains unclear who will be the head coach of the Raiders. The club is poised for a busy offseason regardless, as the organization must find a way to improve its 3-14 record. Las Vegas owns the No. 1 overall pick for the 2026 NFL Draft. Additionally, they are projected to have between $89 million and $96 million in cap space. So we should see a lot of new faces in the team next season.
We should know who the Raiders bring in as their head coach in the coming days or weeks. Las Vegas is one of five teams still looking for a new leader.
