Tom Brady is officially a member of the Raiders’ ownership group, and the belief is that he would like to have significant input in the team’s football operations.
Brady was reportedly influential in the team’s decision to hire Josh McDaniels, and now there is a report circulating that Brady would like to bring McDaniels’ former boss to the Raiders.
Bill Belichick was passed over by every head coaching opportunity in this year’s hiring cycle, but according to podcast host Kirk Minihane, Brady’s first order of business as minority owner of the Raiders will be to recruit Belichick to Las Vegas.
“I won’t get specific, but people have told me that Brady’s first move is going to [be] to ask Bill Belichick if he’s interested in being coach of the Las Vegas Raiders,” Minihane said on the Kirk Minihane Show.
“Two sources have told me that. Two high up sources in the Patriots organization have told me that.”
There is a lot of time between now and the end of the season, but if it’s already being reported that Brady would like to go in another direction at head coach, that’s not a great sign for current head coach Antonio Pierce.
Pierce has time to turn the season around for the Raiders, but momentum doesn’t seem to be in his favor at the moment.
Davante Adams quit on the team and was granted a trade, and now there’s talk around the league that the team might sell off more starters ahead of the trade deadline.
There’s still time to turn things around, but the stakes for Pierce and potentially GM Tom Telesco might be a little higher than they were a week ago.
What say you, Raider fans?
Do you want the ‘Patriot Way’ back in Las Vegas?

I have been a die hard Raider fan since I was 8 back in 1972. I have had season ticket seats for YEARS both in Oakland and Los Angeles and back in Oakland.
The worst decision that any NFL team has EVER done was Davis moving to Las Vegas, where we will NEVER have the 12th man advantage and he did it for money. I lived through the good and bad (the WORST by far being McDaniels), but still wear my Raider hats, shirts and TATTOO proudly.
but
If you bring in frig’n Belichick and go through 2 years of rebuilding just to see it not work (which it won’t) …. I am done for good.
F the patriot way !!!!
I’m right there with you. I have an entire GMC Raiders truck and thousands of dollars worth of Ridrrs memorabilia and gear but I’ll dump it all in the blink of an eye.
If Brady fire my coach and bring in his former coach., I will no longer be a Raider after 52 years.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Definitely not a ride or die fan.
If they do this I’m done, been a Raider fan since 1968…seen all the good days and all the bad for most of the last 25 years really over 30 years except for 3-4 years of the first Gruden run. The Patriot way doesn’t work anymore, never worked anywhere else and didn’t even work in NE for the last few years.
Tom Brady is a proven leader and Belichick put all the right tools for success, whether he cheated or not. I’m tired of loosing season after season. Pierce is a joke, he doesn’t know how to coach. He got lucky last year and look at him now, pure embarrassment. I want to JUST WIN BABY… NOW! IM WITH TOM BRADY!
Nope. The Patriot way is dead.
Dead with 6 Lombardi’s sure…
Bill Belichick is too Old and not relateable to today’s Players, in the End it would not Work, Tom Brady has good intention but those intentions are based on a time that worked Years ago, “TODAY IS A DIFFERENT TIME!
Tha Womp: Raiders Fan Since Enception in 60’s
I as a Raiders Fan for yrs knew this Tom Brady crap would just be more trouble for us than help. Mark Davis should see that they are just trying to bump him out (NFL) and others, they have always been against AL Davis and noe Mark. Wake up Mark these people are just trying to destroy the AL Davis Legacy.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! he cant relate today’s players. This would be a BIG mistake.
I hope not because if he does me after being a Raider fan for so many years and to let Brady hire his people, Mark Davis it would be a mistake I will no longer be a Raider fan.
Hard pass!
not sure if he’d bring any top flight players anymore . a coach is only as good as his qb so he alone or any coach isn’t taking us to the promised land. i, like others, don’t want the patriot way either , but if he was brought in i hope he is not the gm as well.
After 56 years of the good, bad and the ugly. If that happens I may just be done with this mess of a franchise!
Brady enjoyed major success on the field without Belichuk.
Belichuk collapsed without Brady.
I’m not certain Belichuk is coach of the century without a superstar quarterback.
But with a superstar quarterback, maybe Taylor Swift has a shot at coach of the century.
Or at least Antonio Pearce has an outside chance.
I’m with Reggie, Tate and Gordon. The raiders can go to &ell. I have been a Raider fan since 1975 and having Bill the child lover also go to &ell. Nice to have kids well older than your real children. Absolutely pathetic. Nice conversations, Bill talks about world war 2 and the 24 year old talks about TikTok and Taylor swift….. nuts!!! I’m so done with Dutch Boy and the whole organization. New moto from just win baby should be just raise the ticket prices for an enemy roster and organization.. raiders suck period!!
Mark… Don’t You Dare!! All seven Raider Fans that are left will finally Jump Ship!!!
Hell no!!!!!
🙄
I have been a fan since 1985 as a kid in 2nd grade due to wanting to emulate my dad and second being a Marcus Allen fan, and it has taken a life of its own since. If Mark allows this, then I am done. I won’t cheer or rep any other team, but I will be done with the Raiders and the NFL, for that matter.
Hell No, I will definitely sell my seat. Thinking about it now that Brady is part owner. We tried the Patriot Way already and that’s why we SUCK now
Stop with this stupid rumors,this site gravitates to BS just to sell subscriptions.
I truly hope this site goes bankrupt ASAP.
We need a good reputable site for Raiders fans with genuine integrity not this rumor mill crap.
Let’s pray fans this happens soon
You guys are not real NFL fans, just “frat boys ” for the team. Do U understand the level of RESPECT Raider organization will build by having the CHANCE, just chance, at having the Greatest coach in NFL history coach our team….u guys is fools, 8 RINGS bro, that is not by chance or luck
Mark Davis hires a coach and GM from the team that true RAIDERS fans hate since the tuck rule. Then brings that same person to be an owner. Now we’re just going to bring all these personal across the country. WTF IS DAVIS DOING? MR. DAVIS is rolling over in his grave. Hey Mark we are the RAIDER NATION. GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD. Just despicable and sickening. I wish I had the money to buy the team. Or at least a real RAIDER would.
If this happens we will see McDaniels back in the building along with the rest of the NE staff that didn’t make it as HCs. Don’t know why Tom would want to bring him in after bolting on him for Tampa, unless he just wants to be his boss out of spite. I don’t see it happening, but never say never.
They’d have to outbid the Cowboys for him.
Being in my 70s, what I don’t want is a 70 + year old head coach. Brady should be more concerned that Belichick keep receiving his social security and medicare benefits, not a salary from the Raiders.
I have been a raider fan 48 years belichick in I am done. Letting Tom Brady in is bad but we have to live with it. We the fans give you the money. Think about your long time fans.
I am 100% agree with above raider fans about not wanting belichick. We already failed at the patriots way. I however want brady to bring in a QB THOUGH.
ALTHOUGH BELICHIK WAS A GREAT COACH IT WAS BRADY WHO WAS ABLE TO PUT IT ALL IN ACTION, SO NO MATTER IF YOU HAVE A GREAT GAME PLAN BUT NOT HAVE THE PLAYERS AN SKILLSET TO PERFORM IT… WHERE WILL YOU BE …STILL REBUILDING …WHAT WE NEEDED WAS A HARBAUGH BUT WE MISSED A GREAT OPPORTUNITY AGAIN…
No MD did do it for money but also, because the NFL pressured him to. The NFL wanted a super bowl in Las Vegas where they could make huge revenue! the NFL had to have an NFL team in Las Vegas to have a Super Bowl but they want their teams/ owners to stay in their cities and many didn’t want to risk the shady reputation and small market and weather problem(heat) in Las Vegas so the NFL decided to move a team they didn’t think would hurt the league if the L.V. scheme failed a team they didn’t really care if it won or lost. Dah’ Raydah’s! Fans went for it! why not! party in L.V. and the Raiders get a new stadium and maybe can bring in star free agents.
The NFL had it’s Super Bowl and left L.V. The Raiders didn’t spend more on star free agents, they haven’t been a better team and now, they want to give the team to an ex-super star QB knowing his friends are NFL people who probably don’t like us or Al Davis. Its’ o.k. to be loyal but now some fans are just being ridiculously naive. They are trying to take Marks team!
