Are the Las Vegas Raiders attempting to build Patriots west? On Monday, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that the Raiders are interested in bringing Joe Judge onto their staff.
Per Fowler, “Raiders have shown interest in former New York Giants head coach Joe Judge becoming their special teams coordinator position.” Adding, “Judge is staying patient with opportunities after two years in New York so this might not happen.”
“But the New England connection is there.”

Judge made his name as a special teams coach under Bill Belichick before taking the head job in New York. Now, he could have the chance to reunite with former Pats’ personnel in Josh McDaniels and GM Dave Ziegler.
“Not surprising at all,” replied SiriusXM’s Lance Medow. ” …this is just another example of how the NFL is built on relationships. And something many overlook when it comes to examining hiring practices.”
not surprising at all..whether Judge does end up in Las Vegas or takes a year off, which most do after losing a head coaching job, this is just another example of how the NFL is built on relationships & something many overlook when it comes to examining hiring practices https://t.co/kIntW7mamQ

“This has been rumored ever since Josh McDaniels emerged as the Raiders’ likely head coach,” tweeted SNY’s Ralph Vacchiano. “And even moreso after Judge’s good friend Patrick Graham was hired as the Vegas D-coordinator.” Saying, “…it’s possible.”

It’s not clear yet if he’ll return to full-time coaching this season, but it’s possible. https://t.co/NDi9EY95Qg

“Mentioned this as a possibility the other day,” tweeted Patriots beat reporter Evan Lazar. “Makes sense for both sides.”

Joe Judge to Vegas would make all the sense in the world. But it appears to depend on whether or not he’s ready to jump right back into coaching.
