It’s not lost on me that in just 25 games as Raiders head coach, I was able to pretty easily put together a list of ten utterly terrible moments that led to Josh McDaniels being fired.
The man who talked openly about all the mistakes he made when he first got a head coaching job ten years earlier ended up getting fired even quicker than he had in his doomed Denver stint. He lasted 28 games as Broncos head coach. He fell short of that by three games (25) with the Raiders.
This is a clear case of how it started, how it’s going. It started poorly. And it got worse. As hard as that might have been to believe possible just a year and a half ago.
For this, I put together a top ten list. But with Mark Davis saying McDaniels was fired because he saw regression rather than progress, I thought it captured that best to list them chronologically.
So, enjoy the ride. Mainly because it’s over now and you can look back thankful it’s over.
