hammerva Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 You would think that would be it for him as head coach but some reason people still think that being in the Bill Belichick coaching tree means something. Even though most of them have been awful as head coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have figured out long ago that BB micromanaged that entire team during their run. Everyone else was there to hang around and yell and clap their hands a bit. Still surprised Davis shitcanned them since people were saying last off season he really couldn't afford to move on from McDaniels and hire a new coach because he is cash poor Edited November 1, 2023 by Serious Darius Bagfelt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Antonio Pierce is now the interim so he gets to coach against his old team (the Giants) in his first game Also the deadline passed for the NFL to flex the Jets/Raiders out of the Week 10 Sunday Night game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Never forget that Josh McDaniels' players in Denver have talked publicly about how their success with him as head coach was not because they were good, but because he was cheating.

Bill O'Brien is the OC & QB coach. If Josh came back to NE, maybe he can take the QB coach title? It'd be quite the downgrade from HC and OC, but Mac did have his best success his rookie year with Josh as OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 The Bears have fired RB coach David Walker It does not appear to be football related so if that is the case, that would make the 2nd coach the Bears have had to get rid of this season for being a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 My guess would be McDaniels does the ESPN circuit for the rest of this season and sees what comes up on the OC level in January/February. He could very well be a good OC but not all coordinators can be head coaches, he probably should give up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Log Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I like picturing some low-level Raiders intern frantically trying with a pair of tweezers to get the "real" fortune out of the cookie without breaking it so he can insert Davis' hand-written fortune in it's place. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Sheldon Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I can't argue with anything Rich Eisen said. McDaniels and Ziegler should have never been hired in the first place. Garoppolo is going to be scapegoated, but he was doing the best he could against the Lions. Poor guy looked like he just got out of the hospital and was mugged on the way to Starbucks. Let me once again praise the Lions for helping get rid of two of the Raiders latest mistakes. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 That said, it makes sense to give Aidsn O'Connell a run to see what he's got. Jimmy G wasn't exactly tearing it up before the back injury, might as well see what the rookie can do for the rest of the year. If he flops, hey you are entering a rebuild anyway. If he plays well, then maybe you have a piece to build around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV might have to move Crosby and Adams for draft capital this off-season and really tear it down to the studs. Also I'm not sure if counts as a rebuild when you whiff on nearly every draft pick for a half decade straight. (Round these parts that's called "pulling a Matt Millen.") 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
