NFL insider Adam Schefter said on The Pat McAfee Show that the Bills and Raiders are looking at largely the same names: Davis Webb, Brian Daboll, Joe Brady, and Grant Udinski. He noted the Bills are leaning more toward an offensive-focused hire, with Josh Allen as a key attraction, while the Raiders’ list mirrors that tendency.
Schefter added that Webb has already completed his interview with the Bills and is set to interview with the Raiders next. This timeline puts the dual-coaching-search dynamic in motion, with one candidate moving between the two franchises as the process unfolds.
Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer has highlighted Webb as perhaps the most interesting name in play, pointing to Webb’s recent playing experience and his connections to Tom Brady. Breer also notes two offensive-coordinator candidates tied to Brady who are on the radar, underscoring the Bills’ and Raiders’ shared emphasis on an offensive system and quarterback-centric approach.
Breer further floated the idea that Las Vegas could adopt a model similar to the Rams’ hiring of Sean McVay—targeting a younger, less-experienced coach with high upside. The question for the Raiders would be whether to pursue a quick hire or wait for a candidate who could develop into a long-term solution.
The Bills’ perceived emphasis on offense and the Raiders’ parallel search create an intriguing competition for the position, though no decision has been announced. As both front offices evaluate these overlapping targets, the quarterback dynamics and potential fit of a younger, upside-heavy coach will likely shape the eventual choice.
