For Crosby, success isn’t just about winning games, but about creating consistent opportunities to compete and build a lasting legacy in the NFL.

He’s emphasizing the need for a strategic, long-term approach that goes beyond quick fixes and temporary solutions.

The challenges facing the next head coach are substantial. The Raiders are searching for a quarterback and need significant roster reconstruction.

However, the team isn’t without hope. With a robust collection of draft picks and considerable salary cap space, the Las Vegas Raiders have the resources to engineer a comprehensive turnaround.

Crosby’s perspective reflects a player who’s been grinding through tough seasons, understanding that sustainable success requires more than just talent—it demands vision, consistency, and a genuine commitment to building something meaningful.
