Avast ye scurvy dogs! The Las Vegas Raiders be sendin' landlubber Josh McDaniels and Dave Ziegler packin' after a sorry display against the Detroit Lions. Five losses in the season be too many for this crew to bear, so overboard they go, walkin' the plank!
The Las Vegas Raiders made some major changes to their front office and coaching staff after a disappointing start to the season. The team fired general manager Dave Ziegler and head coach Josh McDaniels, hoping to turn their fortunes around.Team owner Mark Davis thanked both Ziegler and McDaniels for their hard work and wished them the best in the future. He believed that these changes were necessary for the team to move forward.
Champ Kelly was named the interim general manager, having previously served as the assistant general manager for the team. Antonio Pierce, the team’s linebackers coach, was named the interim head coach.
The Raiders have had a tumultuous few years, with the recent firing of Jon Gruden and their only playoff appearance in 2016. Despite having a talented offense, the team struggled under McDaniels, going 6-11 in the previous season.
Under new leadership, the Raiders hope to improve their performance. With Jimmy Garoppolo leading the offense, they have faced challenges in one of the toughest divisions in the NFL.
Antonio Pierce will have the opportunity to showcase his coaching abilities when the Raiders face the New York Giants on Sunday. It remains to be seen how these changes will affect the team's future.
