Hey, what's up, Raider Nation? There's a long list of coaching candidates. We're going to get into all of that. Plus, Fernando Mendoza. Is he the clear cut number one overall pick now? We'll let you know our thoughts on today's show. Good morning, Raider Nation. What a great weekend of football. I don't know about you, but I enjoyed every single game that I watched this past weekend. I'm hoping the Raiders one day would be in the playoff picture as well. But until then, we'll talk about how they take the necessary building steps to build their future on the squad show. Raider Nation, one of those steps, Fernando Mania has taken over. Of course, we'll break that down coming up on the Raiders Squad show. Let's get it.

Raider Nation, it's time. This is the Raiders squad. Everything Las Vegas Raiders every week.

Covering all the big hits and game-changing plays from The Death Star in the desert.

Now, before we get into everything on the show today, remember in that final segment, Q and Link are going to be taking some of your questions and comments. So if you're watching this on YouTube, please drop them in the chat right now. And we actually have a couple of questions and comments from the last episode that we'll get into as well. But remember that in that final segment, Q and Link will be taking some of your questions and comments. In that third segment, we're going to be talking about who has more pressure, Tom Brady or John SpyTech. And of course, like you mentioned, Fernando Mania. That's what it's been this past weekend ever since that game against Oregon. So we're going to talk about him and Dante Moore. Plus a little bit of, I guess some really good thoughts from J.T. The Brick, a very trusted and reliable voice for Raider Nation. And he's been for a very long time. So we're going to get some thoughts from Lincoln Q on something that J.T. The Brick said. But first, we got to start off, obviously, with the Raiders coaching search because that is still underway. And I feel like it's heating up because the names keep on piling up. And just coming from Ian Rappaport yesterday, he said the Raiders are requesting Chargers DC, Jesse Minter for a head coaching interview. And of course,

it is a growing list that has occurred. Also, Adam Schefter had tweeted yesterday, while the Falcons

So we're going to get into it. D.C. Chris Shula has been requested by the Raiders. Also,

Nathan Shieldhouse has been requested from the Raiders. O.C. Mike LaFleur. And obviously, no surprise there. And Packers, D.C., Jeff Halfley, who I don't think he kind of went out looking at the greatest at the end of the season, but pretty good season for him as well. So a bunch of names there for you, Link and Q, just your thoughts on who the Raiders are interviewing and what it kind of means to have this long list that they

have. I will go with you first, Link. Well, I certainly appreciate the fact that they, they are taking

their time and doing their due diligence and not rushing to make a decision. But there's also something,

there's a reason for me to be cautious and really worried because they still have a lot of
