The Las Vegas Raiders quickly came to the conclusion that Josh McDaniels wasn’t the best person to oversee their endeavor.
He was unable to complete his second season as the team’s manager, and based on the players’ responses, it appeared like it was about time.
Nevertheless, Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer wants to remind everyone that despite his two miserable seasons as head coach, he has done a good job of producing quarterbacks.
It is a truth that while working for McDaniels, Mac Jones had the finest year of his career.
Yes, Jimmy Garoopolo and Jacoby Brissett did go on to become starters, but they didn’t exactly turn into household names.
Ultimately, McDaniels flourished as an offensive coordinator primarily during Tom Brady’s visits.
His offensive scheme is stale and a little out of date, and he’s simply another Belichick aide who was unable to make a name for himself outside of Foxborough.
It’s unlikely that McDaniels will be given another opportunity to lead a club, or if he does, it will be a very long time until one does.
He should have another chance to be an offensive coordinator sometime, and then we’ll be able to judge how excellent he is.
