Raiders fire HC Josh McDaniels and GM Dave Ziegler

[Beaker42]

I gotta admit, McDaniels was one of the guys I was hoping for when Garrett got fired. Im still not sold on McCarthy, but he's at least far and above McDaniels. I really thought Josh McDaniels was gonna get it right his second time around as a HC, but obviously not.

This needs to be his LAST go round as an NFL HC. He’s beyond bad.

 

[Blast From The Past]

A Head Coach with a 3-5 record should be given a full season. There have been teams with a 3-5 record in history that ended up in the playoffs.

This team surely didn't look to have been headed that way. Owner felt that and made a move.

Guess its time to make him OC here. Who starting the thread lol.

This is wild!

It sounds like a handshake agreement with Jim Harbaugh.......

Ron Riveria is next........

This is wild!

Wow! That’s quite a story. What is he thinking dressing up as the owner after getting embarrassed on MNF?

Very clever with the fortune cookie. Kind of mean but pretty clever.

If McCarthy wanted to dress up as Jerry he’d have to lose about 200 pounds and remove most of his hair.

Amazing how that dude has been fired mid-season after he's chased off and replaced the starting QB (derek carr)

Funny....He did the same thing in Denver with the starting QB.

Does Quinn get a phone call.
If I am their owner that's the first call I make.
I will dig a hole in the backyard, jump in it and bury myself.

Ha ha. Owner laughs hysterically. Then realizes the joke is on him when someone mentions guaranteed contracts. I hear the total is $72M remaining for both. Yeah, they are billionaires so maybe no biggie.

McDaniels signed a six-year contract, which leaves the Raiders having to pay off the remaining four years.

 

[charron]

One of the few teams that make Jerry and company seem good at their jobs.

 

[JW82]

McDaniels, just like Belicheck another stiff that was made to look like a genius because of Tom Brady. Neither can get of their own way without him.

 

[The Quest for Six]

Raiders are a complete GONG show of an organization...

 

[JayFord]

that should be it for Josh McDaniels and HC positions

anyone who hires him to be HC is fooling themselves

This is wild!

Hahaha! Mark Davis is awesome...fired by fortune cookie is legendary.

 

[atlantacowboy]

It’s rare for an owner to side with an unhappy player , but this is why the raiders have been a terrible franchise for so long under Mark Davis. The man has an aversion to stability. Granted, JM didn’t do himself any favors by having the 3rd worst offense in the nfl but he was only in his second season. So, the carousel turns in raiderland again. Welcome Jim Harbaugh?

 

[John813]

He failed in spectacular fashion in Denver, what crack was Davis smoking that he thought Josh wouldn't be a dumpster fire there?

 

[Toro9]

McDaniels needs to coach college. I mean, were talking about a guy who drafted Tim Tebow

 

[NFCBeasts]

McDaniels has to be done getting HQ jobs now, right?

 

[Captain-Crash]

Ron Riveria is next

 

[CCBoy]

Marc Davis is learning that appointing an outside GM in charge can lose the owner function of achieving. Al Davis was good at player identifications and team building. Jerry learned a lot about the business from San Francisco and Al Davis.

Think Quinn doesn't like his job and successes in Dallas?

The story isn't written for this season. Let them fight the war out...

 

[sunalsorises]

Has there been another HC who has been fired midseason twice?

Wade Phillips maybe?

Lane Kiffin, though one was in college.
