Is anyone else just genuinely surprised by how bad of a head coach McDaniels was and how much he didn’t learn from his time in Denver? It’s erie how similar his behavior was in Denver and Vegas. Alienating the starting QB (Cutler & Carr), trading popular players (Marshall & Waller), over working the team with long meetings and practices, completely unable to connect with his players, stunning level of arrogance sticking to his ‘system’ instead of doing what his players do best. Reaching in the draft (Tebow & Wilson).
It was a long time between head coaching gigs, but he seemed to learn nothing , didn’t change a thing. You’d think given how his first job went he would naturally grow, reflect and figure out what he had to do differently if given another opportunity. He came back a decade later the exact same dude, I find it shocking.
Even now I’d bet in his mind this was the players or the organization’s failings not his. I’m just shocked by his refusal to grow, change and adapt.
When someone tells you who they are, believe them the first time.
It’s like the thesis of The Sopranos: People Don’t Change. But, Yes, it’s always pretty stunning when you watch it in real time, huh???
Yeah thats next level incompetence.
I’m just hoping Antonio Pierce szn is fun.
Everyone knew not just raiders fans. Go listen to John middlekauf, and ex scout , this guy would always be baffled at this dude. He would constantly call him a fraud
As someone relatively new to the game, I’m just surprised a change in coach can have that much impact in such a short time
I mean they’re both similar and different at the same time. I think Carr unfortunately will have the same career as Cutler but he definitely cares more. But he really just isn’t a franchise QB and he may have had us “afloat” but really he was holding us back. Marshall and Waller are literally completely different. Waller is a injury prone guy that still has flashes but you can tell his best days are behind him moving him was 100% the right move. Marshall was absolutely not the right move. He got moved in his Prime lmao
My biggest gripe with McDaniels shitting the bed like this is it just proves once again that Brady is the GOAT. I fucking hate having to say that but dumbass just proved that he wasn’t a system QB, he was the system
Ego prevents personal growth. And this guy is full of it. Its almost as if instead of changing his ways he told himself “second times the charm, this time it WILL work” Putting all his chips on a QB made of glass was a desperation move. That- and his ego - signed his walking papers.
I’m more surprised that anyone was surprised by Josh McDaniels ineptitude
I honestly was willing to give benefit of the doubt but quickly saw he was truly terrible. He doesn’t have the personality to be a raiders coach. He never did. That became clear REALLY quickly. What surprising is how long it took to get rid of him but that’s all in the past now baby. Looking only through the front window from now on! RRRRAAAAAAIIIDEEEERSSS
Listen, if you can’t get along with Hunter Renfow, your a fkn asshole and definetly not a leader of men. Still, I was surprised how much of an egomaniac prick he was. He really shit on DC, then tried to get him back when TB retired, then made AOC wear his number. He also leaked Walkers wedding and traded him on his honeymoon. Nice gift for the newlyweds who just got separated by the country. Please door, hit him on the way out. Later Barney Rubble looking mf. We gots a real one now.
A hee hee heeE! 🙌🏼
Damn, why you gotta do Barney Rubble like that?
I never liked the signing. The only thing they did that actually gave me hope and believe in them, was signing Adams.
The “patriot way” worked because they had Tom Brady plain and simple. Look at Belichek and McDaniels struggle without him.
When they first hired him I tried to force myself into thinking enough time had passed and people change and learn from their past mistakes. That lasted 3 games last season. I knew he was the same coach that he was in Denver when we started 0-3. I wanted him out since then.
you know… if it sounds like shit, looks like shit, and coaches like shit, its mcdumbass… you know
