Reports indicate that the current Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator is the seventh candidate to interview for the job, according to Mark Anderson of the Associated Press. Minter, along with Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, both interviewed with the Raiders on Wednesday.
"Their most recent interviews were Wednesday with defensive coordinators Jesse Minter of the Los Angeles Chargers and Ejiro Evero of Carolina."
Minter, who is 42 years old, has coached alongside Jim Harbaugh since 2022, when he joined Harbaugh's staff as defensive coordinator with the Michigan Wolverines. He followed Harbaugh to Los Angeles and took the defensive coordinator job with the Chargers in 2024. If the Raiders were to hire Jesse Minter , it would be the first head coaching job of his career.
The other five head coaching candidates who have interviewed for the Raiders' head coaching job are Kevin Stefanski, Vance Joseph, Matt Nagy, Davis Webb , and Klint Kubiak. Four of the seven candidates have experience coaching on the offensive side of the ball, while three are more defense-focused.
