This was such a terrible hire in the first place.

Another guy propped up by Brady and Belichick who proved to be a fraud once he had to fend for himself.

This is the 2nd time McDaniels has been fired midway through his second season on the job. That's incredibly hard to do.

Now we know why they didn’t flex the game out.

Flex which game...the Lions vs Raiders MNF game?

No, Raiders Jets in week 10. Yesterday was the last day to flex.

The Raiders have such a strong national brand, I think they'd have left the game in place even if McDaniels wasn't fired.

It would have been a terrible game to watch, but it would still draw numbers.

The Ted Turner angle.

Because Antonio Pierce is going to draw viewers?

Now can we stop the McDaniels experiment, please.

Nah. But morbid curiosity might drive viewers a little to carry over into the night game.

I think @Smitty has some explaining to do.

Brady fires his old OC and replaces him with a player that had a hand in ruining his perfect season.

Figure that one out.

McDaniels will be lucky if he ever sniffs a HC opportunity again. He might get fortunate like Garrett and get on TV.

Maybe both pair up as one of the commentator teams.

It also demonstrates the utter chaos and lack of leadership at the top. The Raiders are just a poorly run organization because Davis has no idea what he’s doing.

Mark Davis is about as good at picking people/running organizations as someone else I know of.
