With head coach Josh McDaniels already out the door, it’s fair to assume that veteran signal-caller Jimmy Garoppolo will follow him to the unemployment line after the season. But what about right now?
Halloween often serves as a spooky evening, highlighted by horror movies, creative costumes, and droves of candy. For Raider Nation, nothing was scarier than the prospect of riding out the rest of 2023 with Josh McDaniels and Dave Ziegler at the helm. Luckily, like Michael Myers himself, Raiders owner Mark Davis moved like an assassin in the night.
No more of this “Patriot Way” garbage. The fans gave it a chance. The players gave it a chance. Mark Davis gave it a chance.
