Vikings fan here, don’t follow the Raiders too closely.

I’ve been reading threads about Josh McDaniels for a while now and most threads are just piling on, not really mentioning specifically why he was a bad coach.

I decided to pull up a post game victory speech on YouTube and he just doesn’t seem that likable of a guy. I think being likable is a big part of being a coach, because players have to want to win for you.

Does that sum up why he was a bad coach? Or is there even more to it than that?

To be fair, the team didn’t underperform that badly this year. If you look at the schedule, the only terrible game was the Bears game. Other than that, they beat the teams they were supposed to beat and lost to the teams they were supposed to lose to.

So what’s the official one-paragraph summary on Josh McDaniels tenure with the Raiders and why he was bad?

    He replaced Carr with an even worse Vet QB

    Oh and he was a terrible leader

    The Legend of Josh McDaniels is one where the outrage outpaces his actions, but at least for him words speak louder

    Just an odd fella
