Top 5 candidates to replace Josh McDaniels as Raiders’ HC

1. Frank Smith, Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator

Smith could be in for the same treatment as his boss was just a few seasons ago, as the Dolphins’ offensive coordinator looks to separate himself from under the wings of one of the best head coaches going right now. With Mike McDaniel showing he could branch off without Kyle Shanahan, Smith could find himself in the same boat as the coordinator for one of the most explosive offenses in football. When it comes to the Las Vegas job, Smith may have a leg up due to his familiarity with the organization, after coaching the team’s tight end group from 2018-20.
