A year off has done wonders for Mike Shanahan’s name. Almost a non talked about candidate a few weeks ago, Shanahan has now been mentioned for nearly every opening in the NFL. Adam Schefter is reporting that Raiders brass interviewed Shanahan over the weekend.

Shanahan was hired by the Raiders in 1988 and was 8–12 in less than two seasons, going 2–7 after a 6–5 start.
