Vikings fan here, don’t follow the Raiders too closely.

I’ve been reading threads about Josh McDaniels for a while now and most threads are just piling on, not really mentioning specifically why he was a bad coach.

I decided to pull up a post game victory speech on YouTube and he just doesn’t seem that likable of a guy. I think being likable is a big part of being a coach, because players have to want to win for you.

Does that sum up why he was a bad coach? Or is there even more to it than that?

To be fair, the team didn’t underperform that badly this year. If you look at the schedule, the only terrible game was the Bears game. Other than that, they beat the teams they were supposed to beat and lost to the teams they were supposed to lose to.

So what’s the official one-paragraph summary on Josh McDaniels tenure with the Raiders and why he was bad?

    On top of his horrible personality and game management, he was an offensive head coach leading and calling the plays for an offense that couldn’t score over 20 points in a single game this season. And he brought in Jimmy G and gave him a contract and the guy looked worse than most backups.
