Las Vegas, NV — In a move that has Raiders Nation buzzing, Max Farias is officially returning to the Las Vegas Raiders as head coach, bringing back the mastermind behind one of the most successful eras in franchise history. Farias, who first took the helm when the team was still in Oakland, led the Raiders to nine AFC West titles and a Super Bowl victory in Season 11.

Farias was first introduced as the Raiders’ head coach back in Season 2, when he was tasked with turning the franchise around. Over the next 11 seasons, he not only met expectations but exceeded them, transforming the Raiders into perennial contenders. His tenure was marked by iconic moments such as the “Foxborough Miracle” in Season 5 and back-to-back Super Bowl appearances in Seasons 10 and 11.


After leaving the Raiders, Farias continued his coaching journey, leading the Cleveland Browns, Chicago Bears, Miami Dolphins, and most recently, the San Francisco 49ers. Though he achieved varying levels of success with these teams, including multiple playoff appearances, none matched the magic he created in Oakland. Now, after 18 seasons since he last coached the Raiders, Farias is back to lead the Silver and Black once again.

Upon his return, Farias said, “Returning to the Raiders feels like coming home. The memories we created, the battles we fought—those were the best years of my career. But there’s unfinished business here, and I’m ready to take this team back to the top.”

Farias’s previous run with the Raiders included a dominant stretch where the team made the playoffs in nearly every season. However, his career in Oakland wasn’t without heartbreak. Despite consistent success, Farias’s Raiders fell short in the big games, losing twice in the Super Bowl, including a crushing defeat to the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl X. But it was in Season 11 that everything came together. Farias led the Raiders to a 14-2 record and finally captured that elusive Super Bowl title with a win over the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XI.

During his tenure with the Raiders, Farias accumulated an impressive regular season record of 113-49-0 and a playoff record of 12-8, showcasing his ability to navigate the postseason and consistently keep the Raiders in contention.

The Raiders have had their ups and downs since Farias’s departure, and his return is seen as a chance to restore the team to its former glory. Current Raiders players are thrilled to have him back. “Coach Farias knows how to win. His track record speaks for itself,” said one veteran player. “We’re all excited to see what we can achieve under his leadership.”

Farias’s comeback is not just a nostalgic return to the past; it’s a strategic move aimed at rekindling the fire of a franchise that has seen better days. The 2K OLF landscape has changed, but if there’s one thing Farias has proven, it’s that he can adapt and thrive no matter the circumstances.

As the Raiders gear up for the new season under the guidance of their legendary coach, fans are hopeful that Farias can lead the Silver and Black back to the top, where they belong.
