With the news on Tuesday that Joe Brady will be the next head coach of the Buffalo Bills, do the Raiders now have their choice of Klint Kubiak and Davis Webb to fill their head coaching vacancy?
The Browns and Cardinals are the only other teams without a head coach as of Tuesday morning and neither organization is believed to be in on Kubiak or Webb.
Unless Webb was blindsided by the news out of Buffalo, he probably wasn’t holding up the Raiders’ hiring process after meeting with them on Monday night and that might be an indication that Tom Brady and company are leaning towards Kubiak.
If the Raiders were sold on Webb, they probably would have wanted to seal the deal on Monday and that didn’t happen. The longer it plays out that Webb isn’t named the next head coach in Las Vegas, the more unlikely it is that it’s going to happen – unless Kubiak decides to turn down the job.
Just connecting the dots, it seems like Kubiak is probably the Raiders’ favored candidate, despite the fact that one of the most respected insiders in the industry hasn’t been talking like Kubiak is the front runner for the job.
Does Adam Schefter know something about Kubiak that hasn’t been reported already?
Is Kubiak unsettled about the Raiders’ job, and could he choose a similar path to what Ben Johnson did two years ago and wait another year to join the head coaching ranks?
Answers are coming soon, but for now it looks like the Raiders will have their choice of the two candidates most have considered to be the front runners for the job from the start of the interview process.

Daboll just agreed to be Titans OC. Good. He’s garbage.
Great! Save the Raiders from themselves.
I think we should move on Webb. I think TB is holding things up, and Kubiak might just break his heart like Johnson did last year, Jesse Minter did this year. Kubiaks and the Shanahans are the same cats, they don’t like Silver and Black.
