Josh McDaniels out … Andrew Rison In?!?
The ex-NFL star says if he had things his way, he absolutely would in Las Vegas… TMZ Sports he would “love” to be the Raiders’ next head coach.
“(Mark Davis) knows it,” the former Raiders player said. “And I think the whole world knows it too.”
This may seem far-fetched to some… but Rison has been working quietly for years to become the head honcho of a major football team.
The 55-year-old tells us that more than ten years ago, he began the process of learn the training ropes next to Deion Sanders …and now he clearly believes he’s ready to take the helmet again at a high-profile program.
Rison says turning around his alma mater, Michigan State, would be ideal… but replacing McDaniels in Vegas is also a dream of his.
“It would be a great opportunity,” Rison said, “a great chance to not only show the world, but to show myself the dedication that I brought into the coaching game.”
For now, linebackers coach Antonio Pierce got first chance at the Vegas concert… but during the offseason, Marc Davis is expected to conduct an extensive search for McDaniels’ permanent replacement.
And, Rison makes it clear, he hopes to be on Davis’ shortlist of candidates.
