Las Vegas Raiders need to fire Josh McDaniels

This bastard.

This bastard.

Josh McDonald’s, uh, McDaniels should be fired.

And, truth be told, the freudian slide really fits, because McDaniels turned the Las Vegas Raiders into a farce. The case against McDaniels, in his first year at the helm with the Raiders, is both long and convincing.

On Sunday, the Raiders, in a must-win to save their season, lost to the Indianapolis Colts at home. The Colts were so bad that they fired the head coach a few days ago and hired Jeff Saturday.

Saturday – who is working for ESPN as an analyst – has no prior college or professional coaching experience. He coaches high school, if that counts.

This is supposed to be the key of the season. It’s almost impossible for McDaniels, the smartest person in the room – or so we’re told – to lose an important game to someone new. The Colts took a 10-0 lead and won, 25-20.

There’s more. Raiders are 2-7 in the season. The season is over. It was a bad dream all along, to say the least. This season alone, the McDaniels’ Raiders have led 3 times with 17 points or more and lost all 3 games.

McDaniels, the former New England Patriots offensive coordinator, has now lost 24 of his last 31 games as head coach.

During his career, McDaniels – who also coached the Denver Broncos – was 13-24. That’s a terrible record when you remember that he started his head coach career winning his first six games with the Broncos.

And don’t forget that he too caught cheating, Record video of opponent’s signal. He was fined by the NFL and eventually fired by Denver.

Somehow, he was forgiven by the decision makers because he kept getting job offers to work in the league.

However, this is unforgivable. We get it, Raiders are injured. They should have won this match.

After the game, RaiderNation chanted Fire McDaniels and threw beer on the field.

Raiders midfielder Derek Carr was emotional during the press conference and held back tears, presumably trying not to laugh at what his team has become since McDaniels’ arrival. Given the Raiders’ poor form this season, most have probably forgotten that they actually made it to the knockout stages last season. After Jon Gruden’s mess – prompting him to resign as coach – Las Vegas regrouped after interim coach Rich Bisaccia. Owner Mark Davis wanted a big name, someone with an impressive training history.

The only problem is that Bill Belichick’s training tree doesn’t produce much fruit. Very few people achieve real success as a head coach.

McDaniels may be Exhibit A.

When you lose to the Colts, think about all of this. This isn’t just Jeff Saturday’s first game coaching. He also has a newly promoted play caller who got the gig midweek. And against the McDaniels, that duo achieved a total of 415 yards and 6.9 yards each in their dash.

A year ago, the Raiders were leading 7-2 in single-point games. This season with McDaniels leading, they are leading 0-6. McDaniels’ fingerprints are all over this mess. Can’t deny it.

Oftentimes, some of the best coaching work is when a coach changes his style to match the talent he has to work with. In this case, it seems that McDaniels wants the players to play his style whether their talents match it or not. The Davante Adams All-Pro receiver is proof positive. He came from Green Bay on a huge blockbuster deal and was well paid. But too many times, he’s the one rethinking the offense.

A few weeks ago in the game against the Saints, Adams had a catch from three yards. Seems almost impossible. But it happened.

It’s also fitting that it was the Colts who caused the McDaniels’ nightmare loss. Don’t forget that he left the Colts in front of the altar in 2018, giving up his deal to be their coach at the last minute.

In the end, the only thing missing from this real job loss fiasco was a big red nose and soft shoes. This is not funny anymore. McDaniels’ actions should be taken for good.
