The Las Vegas Raiders have some big policy decisions to make this offseason. While much of the focus will be on who the team’s next head coach will be, the Raiders must also hire a new head coach after parting ways with Dave Ziegler earlier in the season.Finding the right person to lead the front office is important for the Raiders to finally get over the hump and become true contenders again. The franchise is already working hard to find the right person for the job and they turned to their division rival in their latest interview..
Klein has extensive experience in the front office, having spent the past three seasons as Executive Director of Football Operations/Special Advisor to the Broncos General Manager. He is the primary contact for Broncos football operations and is responsible for both professional and college scouting.Additionally, he is involved in all aspects of the Broncos’ personnel department, including day-to-day football management, player evaluation and preparation for the NFL draft and free agency, as well as overseeing Denver’s video department..
Before joining the Broncos, Kleine spent nine seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, where he played a major role in the team’s personnel department, including involvement in player evaluation, NFL draft and free agency planning, opposing offense and general football management.This is an important decision for the Raider franchise and they need to make sure the right person is brought in. Klein certainly has experience and is ready to take the next step, but the Raiders are looking at a lot of candidates.The Raiders also requested interviews with Colts assistant general manager Ed Dodds, 49ers assistant general manager Adam Peter, Bills director of player personnel Terrance Gray, former Chargers general manager Tom Telesco and Bengals senior personnel director Trey Brown..
Getting the right coach and general manager in the building will set the stage for how this Raider franchise moves forward for the foreseeable future. The last few hires have failed, so now the Raiders have another chance to enter the next era of Raiders football and restore the silver and black to their place among the NFL’s elite..
