“The deals for new #Raiders coach Josh McDaniels and new #Raiders GM Dave Ziegler are done and agreed upon, sources say. Owner Mark Davis swings big and lands his top targets.”

“The Patriot Way is coming to Las Vegas. When the failures of Belichick assistants are mentioned, McDaniels’ stint in Denver is mentioned prominently. The Raiders are hoping he’s a much different coach this time around. Assuming he signs the contract.”
Doug Kyed, Pro Football Focus
“There aren’t a lot of people who were with the Patriots for all six Super Bowl titles, but Josh McDaniels was among them along with Tom Brady, Robert Kraft, Jonathan Kraft, Bill Belichick, Ivan Fears, Nick Caserio, Ernie Adams, Nancy Meier, Brian Smith and a handful of others.”

“So the Raiders plan on hiring OC Josh McDaniels. Really? The same recycled coach that Failed in Denver and then accepted the Colts HC job only to leave them at the Alter and decline the position. #Rediculous”

“Still not sitting right with me that Josh Mcdaniels keep getting HC Chances. But Brian Flores is sitting there unemployed and Eric Bieniemy haven’t gotten any HC offers”
