Tom Brady may have retired as a player, but his presence in the NFL endures as a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. With the team searching for its fourth head coach in eight seasons, Brady faces the daunting task of reshaping a struggling franchise.
However, he can count on the unwavering support of star defensive end Maxx Crosby, who has been a cornerstone of the Raiders since 2019.

Crosby emphasizes the need for stability
During an interview on NFL Network with Rich Eisen, Crosby spoke highly of Brady and the qualities he brings to the organization. “I’ve known Tom for a few years now. We talk occasionally, and he’s always been focused on winning-that’s what he’s done his whole life,” Crosby said. “I believe in Tom, and I’m excited to see what the future holds.”
Crosby also shared his thoughts on what the Raiders need most in a head coach. “For me, the number one thing is winning,” he explained. “But at the end of the day, stability and someone who can bring energy and consistency every day is the most important thing.”
Brady’s careful approach sparks speculation
Meanwhile, rumors swirl about potential candidates for the head coach position, with Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson emerging as a strong contender. Brady, who also serves as an NFL broadcaster, skillfully avoided direct references to Johnson during the Lions vs. Commanders game, despite Johnson’s name being mentioned by his co-commentator.
The measured approach Brady displayed earned praise from The Athletic, which called his performance “one of his best as a broadcaster.” With Crosby’s loyalty and Brady’s strategic planning, the Raiders may finally find the stability they need to turn their fortunes around.
