According to insider Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Raiders are reportedly “enamored” with the Lions’ Ben Johnson. Rapoport reports that Johnson has quickly emerged as the candidate to watch in the Raiders’ head coaching hunt.

Certainly, many people will say that Ben Johnson should not become the head coach of the Raiders. The reason being — they’re so far away from being a complete roster that it will make it tough for him to win right away. Especially with such a competitive AFC West division. All of that makes sense.

Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is among the top names in this year's NFL head coaching cycle—and according to one NFL insider, he's become "the candidate to watch" for one team in particular.

Former Seattle Seahawks head coach and Super Bowl XLVIII champion Pete Carroll is generating some buzz through this NFL coaching cycle. He interviewed for the Chicago Bears' head coach opening on Thursday. He's expected to interview for the Las Vegas Raiders' vacancy early this week, as well.
