The Las Vegas Raiders gave Josh McDaniels the pink slip, and fans are eager to know who would replace him.
Who should the team sign as the main chief on the sideline?
Sport Betting AG released a list of favorites to land the coaching job with the Raiders, and coming out on top is the controversial Jim Harbaugh.
Harbaugh's odds to become the next coach of the Raiders is 5/1, but that is not the odd he has to overcome if his camp is also interested.
The college football coach is currently in the middle of an NCAA investigation involving Level I Violations allegedly committed in January this year.

They are accused of conducting a practice in the presence of too many coaches, more than what was allowed, contacting two prospects during the extended COVID-19 dead period, and observing practices via an unauthorized video feed.
He is also being dragged for a sign-stealing incident involving his team, although he already insisted he was unaware of the violation.
Is Harbaugh a runaway winner for the Raiders post?
Betting on Harbaugh to get the Raiders job might be risky, though. The NFL already said he will have to go through the eye of the needle to return to the league. It said:
"The NFL is unlikely to make itself a safe harbor for Harbaugh to escape what could be substantial NCAA discipline, league sources say, raising the strong possibility Harbaugh would need to serve some or all of any possible suspension he could face in college if he returns to the pros."
Other coaches in the Top 5 for possible Raiders job offer are Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson (7/1), Miami Dolphins' Frank Smith (8/1), Dallas Cowboys defense coach Dan Quinn (9/1), and Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz (9/1).
