Raiders fire HC Josh McDaniels AND GM Dave Ziegler

[Iggloo]

Holy shit is this actually real? McDaniels was fired via a fortune cookie message?

EDIT: Alas it's not true it seems. It was attributed to The Athletic but I am not finding this report on their site. Too good to be true!

Raiders fire Josh McDaniels, Dave Ziegler

Las Vegas made the announcement at 1 a.m. ET on Wednesday.

Looks like Mark Davis has seen enough of the bullshit.

I wonder if he switched barbers too

This is what Chicago needs to do

I wouldn't have signed Garoppolo to $48.5M over 2 years - unless the only other alternative was to retain Carr in 2023 at $40.5M guaranteed with a no-trade clause, which was what he was effectively contracted for. Not retaining Carr on those terms was a no-brainer. The Raiders were overrated before the 2022 season and i'm not surprised to see them going backwards in 2023 with a downgrade at QB.

I thought Ziegler might be good but he had to go after hiring McDaniels and he letting Carr go.

It was just hilarious to see Davis yelling at fans and defending McDumbass.

They can let Jimmy G go after this season though.

33.75 million, not 40.5 mill. Average money for a starting QB.

SF might take him back

I doubt it. They were trying to unload him 2 years ago and he only played last year because Lance got hurt and they were stuck with Jimmy until he inevitably got hurt. They will stick with Purdy now because he's uber cheap.

today the redskins look much better than the raiders going forward. that wasn't easy but the raiders accomplished it well.

watch out cardinals, the raiders are heading your way.

lol

Can we finally put to bed the JimmyG is pretty good because QBwinz matters? His play in Vegas is proof that Shanahan's system carried him.

hope so
there was a Denver fan who loved him more than niner fans.

true story

Garropolo is done. He will not start Sunday.

At one point this guy was the highest paid player in league history.

 

[redseat]

Weird to do it in the middle of the night, but that's Davis.

He was just "getting cleaned up" and he didn't like what he "paid for" so he took it out on Mcdaniels and Co... Though it should have happened sooner yes

Sad day for the other AFC West fans. Now the Raiders can only get better. Was hoping that Josh would stay a while longer.

I think Mark Davis should strongly consider Nathaniel Hackett at the end of the season. That dude can really coach!

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

So now the Raiders are paying rather large salaries to 2 shitty HC's with over sized egos. Ironically, their reasoning in the Carr thing was they wanted to get out from under paying him $40 mil. At least, that was a big part of it.

Getting away with something is the key to success. Look at this dude and his jovial arrogance. Watson sucks now. Bill sucks now. These two were big dogs when they were sticking their dicks in masseuses and stealing signals in the playoffs. Some people can't just be regular. It kills their confidence.
