The Las Vegas Raiders have not been successful under Josh McDaniels yet. All of the fan base wants him gone. There is no secret about that, as any fan will let you know their thoughts on it. He is 9-15 as a Raiders head coach and 20-32 overall as a head coach.
You would think, considering the team hasn't won anything really important under him, that the players would want him gone, too. And maybe some do. However, there is one that doesn't want him gone, at least at the moment, not during the season.
Hondo Carpenter, who covers the Raiders for Sports Illustrated's Fan Nation, had a text from an anonymous player on the situation.
"I think everybody is frustrated," Carpenter said of the player's text. "We share that frustration, but I can't think of one of us that really wants to see the coach fired in the middle of the season. Just give up on the year? Who does that? Who quits? That doesn't make any sense to me. Frustrated? You better believe it. Wonder about some stuff? Of course. Want a guy fired? Lost our locker room? Give me a f—ing break."
Maybe the player is a guy who is hardly there? I don't know another explanation of how he can't see what is happening. This roster is talented and is even better than the one that went to the playoffs just two years ago. However, they have yet to come close to that.
Last week was one of their most embarrassing losses, and there is a long list of them now under McDaniels. If I had to guess, he wouldn't make it past this season. Then again, what do I know? He shouldn't have made it past last season.
