Honestly, though: is it really? In the last 20 years, from purely a team management perspective, is there any debate that the Raiders have been one of worst 5 teams in the league? Consistently, for two decades?
If YOU were an up-and-coming OC or DC on a winning, playoff-competitive team (because that’s, by and large, who is interviewing for HC jobs), would YOU trust your future to this team ownership? Is there literally ANYTHING that this team has consistently done well (again, from a management perspective) that would suggest to you that going there would be a WISE decision for you?
In the last 20 years, what has been the BEST outcome for ANY Raiders HC, in terms of both on-field and off-field outcomes? Is there ANY former Raiders HC who is currently an HC in the NFL? Currently even an OC/DC?
Raiders FANS are fantastic. (In general…) They’ve put up with more outright abuse and neglect from their team than just about anyone over the last 20 years. But the C suite of that team is about as radioactive as any franchise in the league, and there’s no reason to think that’s going to change.
