Bisaccia went 7–5 as Las Vegas’s interim coach, leading the team to the postseason before a loss to the Bengals on wild-card weekend. Bisaccia replaced former head coach Jon Gruden, who resigned in October after the release of numerous emails featuring misogynistic, racist and anti-LGBTQ language. 

Las Vegas intends to give proper consideration to Bisaccia for the full-time gig, though he appears to be just one of many candidates, per the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. 

“From my read, from what I understand, it is unlikely [Bisaccia] stays on with the Raiders,” Rapoport.
