The Raiders landing Johnson as their next head coach would be a franchise-altering move. The South Carolina native took over as the Lions offensive coordinator in 2022 and has revived quarterback Jared Goff's career while being an integral part of Dan Campbell's culture shift in Detroit.

Minority owner Tom Brady could bump into some of the Raiders' top coaching and GM candidates before his broadcast this weekend in Detroit.

Johnson has emerged as the runaway favorite to land the Las Vegas gig with NFL Network Ian Rapoport reporting earlier this week that, “there are a lot of people who, frankly, think he is getting it.”
