The Baltimore Ravens officially announced that Jesse Minter<\/a> will be the new head coach to replace John Harbaugh. However, before accepting the job in Baltimore, rumors speculate that the Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> did everything possible, but failed, to hire Minter instead.<\/p>\n

Reports indicate that the Raiders franchise was aggressive in its talks<\/a> with the 42-year-old coaching candidate. However, the Ravens found out about and decided to swoop in and make Minter an official offer, according to Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust to double down on this: it does sound like the Raiders made a very strong push to get Jesse Minter over the last 24 hours, and the Ravens recognized that. That\u2019s how the timeline sped up today, sources say.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Raiders were one of the first teams<\/a> to request an interview with Minter after firing Pete Carroll as head coach. He appeared to be a top candidate from the beginning. After missing out on yet another candidate, Las Vegas will have to go back to the drawing board and find its next head coach elsewhere.<\/p>\n

For now, it remains unclear who will be the head coach for the Raiders. The club is set for a busy offseason regardless, as the organization must find a way to improve upon its 3-14 record. Las Vegas owns the No. 1 pick overall for the 2026 NFL Draft. Additionally, they are projected to have between $89 million and $96 million in cap space. So, we should see plenty of new faces on the team next season.<\/p>\n

We should know who the Raiders bring in as head coach in the coming days or weeks. Las Vegas is one of five teams still searching for a new leader.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Baltimore Ravens officially announced that Jesse Minter will be the new head coach to replace John Harbaugh.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":698060,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2065],"tags":[117,7,10097,1744,393,2455,2454,6,832,525],"class_list":{"0":"post-698059","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-las-vegas-raiders","8":"tag-baltimore-ravens","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-jesse-minter","11":"tag-las-vegas","12":"tag-las-vegas-raiders","13":"tag-lasvegas","14":"tag-lasvegasraiders","15":"tag-nfl","16":"tag-nfl-rumors","17":"tag-raiders"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115942565467210418","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/698059","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=698059"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/698059\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/698060"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=698059"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=698059"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=698059"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
