JUST IN: Raiders Players’ Intimate Feelings Towards McDaniels Revealed

The players for the Las Vegas Raiders made all the correct comments about Josh McDaniels. When the NFLPA questioned them about their coach, they gave him a different rating.

It was disputed whether or not former Coach Josh McDaniels had lost the locker room during the height of the unrest last season. Apart from their performance on the field, the players maintained that McDaniels had not lost the locker room and that there were no overt indications that he had.

In response to questions, the players frequently stated that they agreed with the coach in a politically correct manner. The Raiders players that were surveyed were brutally honest, though, when asked to evaluate everything from their head coach to their training facilities by the National Football League Players Association.

Each team’s anonymous report card, provided by its players, was just made public by the NFLPA. This is one of the best ways to get an inside look at the caliber of a team’s internal operations. The players did not hesitate to express themselves as they could do so without worrying about consequences.

The NFLPA reports that “Josh McDaniels, the former head coach, received the lowest head coaching score in the league from the players.” Only 39% of players believe Josh McDaniels used his time well (ranking 32nd overall). Out of all NFL head coaches, he was also rated as the least likely to listen to his locker room.”

What was otherwise a positive overall grade for the Raiders was completely undone by McDaniels’ appalling ranking among the players in the Raiders locker room. The Raiders fell from being among the top five teams in the standings to ninth place as a result of McDaniels’ grades from his former player.

“To provide some context for their dip in ranking from last year, if Josh McDaniels received an average score compared to the other head coaches in the league, the Raiders would have ranked in the top five overall in this year’s rankings.”

Although it’s possible that McDaniels kept the locker room, the fact that his players placed last on their annual report card makes it very evident what they weren’t willing to speak out loud.

The NFL Draft will be held in Detroit, Mich., on April 25-27, 2024. The Las Vegas Raiders currently hold the No. 13 overall pick.
