The AFC West underwent a dramatic shakeup on Friday with the arrival of Pete Carroll as Las Vegas Raiders head coach – rekindling his longstanding rivalry with Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh in the process.
Alexander was one of the first hires made by Joe Hortiz when he came in as the Chargers' general manager last offseason. The Raiders have already interviewed Alexander and plan to conduct a second interview with him on Monday.
