As the coaching season is fully underway across the NFL, surprise names are beginning to come up as candidates for vacancies across the league. Sometimes these names can seem like no-brainers in hindsight, but often names that are quite confusing appear in coaching cycles. Typically, these come from franchises that can't get out of their own way.
One of the premier teams in the NFL that can't get out of its own way is the Las Vegas Raiders. Once the Raiders hire their next head coach, they will be paying a FIFTH head coaching salary, and that doesn't even factor in the fact that Chip Kelly, fired at mid-year for not really knowing the offense he was running, was the highest-paid offensive coordinator in NFL history.
