The GM's, Coach's, Carousel

The Raiders have found their new General Manager.

According to multiple reports, Las Vegas is finalizing a deal to hire Buccaneers assistant G.M. John Spytek for the role.

Spytek, 44, has been with the Buccaneers since 2016. He first served as director of player personnel before being promoted to vice president of player personnel in 2021. He was promoted again to assistant G.M. in 2023.

After playing his college ball at Michigan — where he was a teammate of Raiders minority owner Tom Brady — Spytek spent time with the Lions, Eagles, Browns and Broncos before making his way to Tampa Bay.

Spytek was also in the building with Brady when the quarterback came to Tampa Bay in 2020.

Now that a G.M. is in place, the Raiders can focus all of their attention on their search for a new head coach. While Ben Johnson was their reported frontrunner, he instead accepted the Bears’ job.

 

Brian Schottenheimer set for second interview, per report with the Cowboys.

 

I think that last swing and a miss woke Khan up to what I was saying earlier!

 

That's one step in the right direction.

 

It is but they're weeks late in making it. Doesnt exactly radiate competence.


BTW Tim, what do you think about Dallas? Both the HC search in general, and Schott in particular?
