The Las Vegas Raiders have added another name to their permanent head coach search.

On Saturday, reports indicated that the Raiders are interested in talking to San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans.

Ryans lead the 49ers defense to allow only 310 yards per game, third-fewest in the NFL alongside the ninth-fewest points per game allowed in the regular season with 21.5 points.

The 49ers are in this year’s NFC Championship game.

In addition to the Raiders opening, Ryans is expected to talk with the Minnesota Vikings regarding their open position.

Besides Ryans, the head coach job could go to Patriots inside linebacker coach Jared Mayo or offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels.

A separate general manager search to find Mike Mayock’s replacement also is underway.

The Silver and Black continue with their search for a new permanent head coach and general manager.
