Tom Brady’s Role in Raiders’ Coaching Search Raises Conflict Concerns

The NFL legend’s dual roles as Raiders minority owner and Fox Sports commentator draw scrutiny as Las Vegas pursues Lions’ Ben Johnson.

Tom Brady, part-owner of the Raiders, is reportedly playing a key role in recruiting Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson for the team's head coaching position.
Critics have raised concerns about a conflict of interest as Brady is set to broadcast a Lions playoff game for Fox Sports, giving him access to Johnson during the hiring process.
Johnson, one of the most sought-after coaching candidates, has interviewed with the Bears, Raiders, Jaguars, and Patriots, with Chicago and Las Vegas emerging as top contenders.
Reports indicate Brady’s influence was pivotal in convincing Johnson to consider the Raiders despite their uncertain quarterback situation and other challenges.
The NFL has faced calls to address potential ethical issues surrounding Brady’s dual responsibilities, though insiders suggest any resolution may wait until after the season.
