Raiders fired HC Josh McDaniels and GM Dave Ziegler.

Well deserved. McDaniels showed everyone who he was in Denver. Mark Davis should’ve believed him. 

[Special K]

Vegas....the home of the Stanley Cup Champion Vegas Golden Knights, the WNBA Champion Las Vegas Aces, and a team that also “participates” in pro sports, the Las Vegas Raiders.

[Doc Brown]

Belichick is hiring McDaniels as the new defensive coordinator.

[OZBILLS]

Fraud McDaniels back to Pats?

But McDaniels is an offensive guy.

 

Then again, that would track with Belichick's bizarre decision to have Judge and Patricia run the offense last season. 

[RobbRiddick]

Just lose, baby!

[BillsfaninChicago]

Ladies and gentlemen your new Patriots Offensive Coordinator!

And just in case anyone thought Denver was a “rookie mistake” - first he took over as OC in St Louis and helped a 7-9 team go 2-14 and a 2nd year QB who had shown rookie flashes to play terribly (the following year, the team went 7-8-1 and the QB looked competent again).  Then, there’s how he treated Indy.

 

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. And yes, you’re right, Mark Davis should have believed him.

That's the joke.

[WMDman]

Should have hired that interim/st coach that got them to the play offs 

[GoBills!]

Where is the Mark Davis videos now 😂 

[Dr.Sack]

McDaniel is a horrible OC. Totally propped up by Brady.

[popcornpam]

I guess Mark Davis finally realized on Halloween night. He was tricked by McDaniels.

Josh McDaniels is done as an NFL coach.

[Warcodered]

Devante Adams: You couldn't have done this like a day or two ago and let someone else make the GM decisions?

[KingBoots8]

Lost that bet. I thought Staley would be first to go this year 😂

Mark Davis, or whoever he hired to post press releases, does not know how to use a shift key.

 

 

When I was working on road supporting military I'd be on bases where soldiers did not know when not to use shift key but they worked on systems which only allowed capital letters.  What is Raiders excuse?  If they did it earlier maybe interim GM could have traded Jimmy Garoppolo to New England for some used sports equipment.

 

 

[BillsfaninSB]

It’s good gig to be a HC.  Josh gets paid for 4 years doing nothing if he chooses. 

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Roughly 18% of votes had it right. How’d you do?

 

 

[Mark Vader]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.....When you can no longer cheat, you cannot win. Prove me wrong.

 

That being said, is anyone really surprised by this? Even going back to when the Raiders first hired this guy?

[GunnerBill]

The decision to voluntarily get worse at Quarterback is only ever a good one if everyone in the building is on board with a tank or if it is to go to a young guy you have drafted and think you can develop. Otherwise it is always a ridiculous decision. 

 

McDaniels was done the moment he replaced Derek Carr with Jimmy G.

[Dan Darragh]

Wow, I got all the way to the second page of this thread without seeing a single post calling for the Bills to fire Dorsey and hire McDaniels as OC.  

[davefan66]

I love this move!  Dude is not a good head coach.

 

Funny part is the Raiders hired Rich Bisaccia as interim prior to hiring McDaniels. Guy was loved by the team and did a decent job.  A lot of people thought he would be given a fair shot at the HC gig, but the Raiders did what the Raiders do.

Bisaccia. Heck of a coach to take over mid-season with all the controversy and help right the ship. Never understood him not getting the full time gig.

[stuvian]

He was given ample time to prove himself and failed miserably. After that four year deal I was afraid he'd become coach for life but it must have some team friendly language. Davis is not as dumb as he appears. Let's hope he doesn't reach into the Belichick tree for another Patriot schmuck. The football world should know by now that BB only hires numbskulls who won't challenge him.

Derek Carr is absolutely terrible. That is not the issue in LV. The coach was one of the biggest issues, that’s over now. I’m not saying the guy they replaced McDaniels with is any good, how can I know but McDaniels is clueless. The Raiders have some players and they wasted way too many years with Carr there. Jimmy G isn’t spectacular but he’s very solid. Let a coach that understands NFL protection and scheme get a hold of that team and they can be pretty good. They got a lot better today big picture wise.

You are totally wrong. Carr >>> Jimmy G. Nobody is thinking Carr is a world beater but they replaced him with a less talented Quarterback. They voluntarily got worse at Quarterback without it being an attempt to groom a young guy or to lose. 

 

I agree McDaniels sucks. But they should now pull Jimmy G and try to lose. Because they are going absolutely nowhere with him. He is a bottom of the barrel NFL starter at this stage.

Yep. That is who they should have hired. Josh McDaniels was a baffling hire. Dysfunctional franchise.

Failed white retread.

Just another “offensive genius” who’s career was made off of Tom Brady’s back. 
 

I don’t know how anyone looked at his time in Denver where he replaced Jay Cutler with Tim Tebow, dismantled a good team and said yeah I want to try that guy again. 
 

His first order of business was doing the exact same thing in Las Vegas replacing Carr with Jimmy. The 2nd that happened I would have said this guy learned nothing from his first stint.

 

Plus a lot of players think he’s an ass too probably doesn’t help

Not to mention what he did to the Colts. When people show who they are, believe them

 

I get not keeping the interim coach, you want a clean slate. But McDaniels was a horrible hire and they gave him a 6 year deal??? Why?

Nope! But he will be back, because he is cheap and will be BB personal assistant.. or some other dumb name.. 

[Matt_In_NH]

I thought the Raiders were broke and could not afford to fire him.

[thenorthremembers]

The Raiders wont be any good until Mark Davis isnt the owner.   Why he decided to hire both the GM and the Coach from the Patriots when he had 20 years of evidence it doesnt work is beyond me.

 

Now the idiot has to pay McDaniels for the next 4 years when he already had a free cash flow problem.  

 

He has no idea how to run a football organization.  Not sure what will come first, his bankruptcy or a winning season.
