Following the ousting of head coach Josh McDaniels and GM Brad Ziegler, the Raiders are set to roll with interim head coach Antonio Pierce for the rest of the 2023 season.
When it comes to long-term, there’s a long list of candidates Las Vegas could explore to replace McDaniels.
ESPN analyst and former Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III offered his take when he took to X and boldly threw Marshawn Lynch’s name in the ring for the next Las Vegas head coach. he stated the former running back “at least” deserves an interview as the franchise aims to capture the “Raider Way” of old.
“Who says no?” asked Griffin on X.
A lot of people did and they also called him for racism as well.
Why? Because Griffin III was angry for the Colts selecting Jeff Saturday as their interim coach with no experience only for him to suggest that the Raiders hire Lynch with no experience as well. Ultimately, Griffin’s take on the Raiders’ head coaching vacancy proved quite unpopular, and fans had plenty to say in response.

Both Saturday and Lynch were accomplished players, who are without noteworthy coaching experience.
Las Vegas’ loss to the Lions Monday followed an embarrassing defeat by the Chicago Bears and their rookie quarterback Tyson Bagent. Raiders owner Mark Davis fired McDaniels and general manager Brad Ziegler after 25 games, and will move forward this season with interim head coach Antonio Pierce.
The Raiders (3-5) host the Giants (2-6) on Nov. 5.
