Fans React To Today’s News About Josh McDaniels
Las Vegas Raiders fans have gone through it over the past two seasons.
The team signed Davante Adams in 2022, reuniting him with Derek Carr to help wake up their offense.
However, Carr moved on during the 2023 offseason, a move that was not well-received by the fanbase.
The organization also tried to find lightning in a bottle with Josh McDaniels as their head coach, but he too, was not welcomed by fans.
Many of McDaniels’ naysayers will be happy to know that he is no longer the Raiders coach, according to Adam Schefter.
Sources: Raiders fired HC Josh McDaniels and GM Dave Ziegler.

This report came in the wee hours of November first in an Adrian Wojnarowski-esque way.
Raiders fans either saw this news as they were going to bed, or they saw it as soon as they woke up.
Regardless of when they were made privy to the news, initial responses have been positive for most Raiders fans.

Surprised, but not surprised. He was losing/already lost the team, so a change needed to be made.

While Raiders fans might be in a good mood after this move, the team has a lot of decisions to make.
Antonio Pierce has been appointed interim, moving into the head coaching role after coaching the team’s linebackers.
He has already discussed what the team is doing next at quarterback, indicating that Aidan O’Connell could be in line for more work.
Davante Adams was extremely disgruntled after their loss to the Detroit Lions, another situation to monitor from this team.
McDaniels might be out, but the team still needs to play out the rest of the season.
How will they perform in the back half of the year with Pierce at the helm?
