The Las Vegas Raiders are reportedly gaining "a lot of momentum" on hiring Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as the team's next head coach, according to Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Johnson is one of the hottest coaching candidates in the market this cycle, as he's received interest for just about every head coaching opening. Johnson received one of the last interviews in New England and reportedly gave a strong interview despite the thought around the league that Mike Vrabel was a shoo-in for the job. Vrabel, of course, did wind up getting hired by the Patriots. He has also been interviewed by the Bears and Jets in addition to the Raiders.
