Brian Flores is a 2-1 favorite to be named the next head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, a team that won just three games in 2025.
The Raiders fired Pete Carroll on Monday after just one year, meaning they will enter their third consecutive season with a new coach in charge.
Carroll expressed high hopes upon taking over, saying he was used to double-digit victories and expected the same in Las Vegas. But the Raiders went 3-14, going on a 10-game losing streak before finishing with a 14-12 victory over Kansas City on Sunday.
“I want to make it extremely clear, too, that I bear a ton of responsibility for the outcome of this season and our record,” general manager John Spytek said. “This isn’t on any one person, and really I don’t want anyone to think anyone deserves more responsibility than me on that. It’s something I’m very aware of. I think about it all the time, and I’m determined to get it right. The accountability should start and stop with me, and that needs to be said.”

Technically, Flores remains the Vikings’ defensive coordinator until the specific date when his contract expires.
Even if he signs a new deal in Minnesota, he can always leave to become a head coach elsewhere.
