Owner Mark Davis Fires Raiders’ Head Coach and GM: Seeking New Direction for Struggling Team

The owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, Mark Davis, has made the decision to fire the head coach, Josh McDaniels, and the general manager, Dave Ziegler. This move comes after less than two years of them being in their respective positions. Davis based his decision on the team’s underwhelming performance and a feeling that they were moving in the wrong direction. McDaniels, who joined the Raiders in 2022 due to his achievements as an offensive coordinator with the New England Patriots, oversaw a series of embarrassing losses and an offense that struggled greatly. In light of this, Davis has named Antonio Pierce as the interim coach, and Champ Kelly as the interim general manager, hoping that this fresh approach will bring about positive changes. The team’s upcoming game against the New York Giants leaves Davis uncertain about how the Raiders will fare under this new leadership.
