It’s a painful reality to admit, but the Las Vegas Raiders might not have a quarterback that can lead them to the promised land, says Howie Long. Well, at least not yet; they don’t.
Whether you were a fan of Josh McDaniels or not, did Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis blindside him with his firing? Let’s not forget Dave Ziegler either; sure, they’re both gone, but the way things went down merits a second look.
It’s very interesting to see that former players who once played under Josh McDaniels are not exactly shocked by this week’s firings by Raiders owner Mark Davis. In particular, Super Bowl champ and all-around superstar Rob Gronkowski had some interesting things to say.
Seriously – The Las Vegas Raiders head coaching job is the most desirable [available] job in football. Pull up a chair and grab a snack, discussing this fairytale-like situation for a newcomer coach is going to take a while; from roster, to owner, to city, and everything in between

It shouldn’t shock anyone, but now-former Las Vegas Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels admitted that the offense just wasn’t on the same page.

It was far from a good night for either Las Vegas Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels or starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo—that’s putting it mildly. After putting one of the most embarrassing displays on offense in recent years, Raider Nation would surely prefer for both parties to be jettisoned. In the meantime, an important decision for the immediate future needs to be made: is it time for Aidan O’Connell to start?
