Raiders players angry with HC Josh McDaniels
In January of last year, McDaniels assumed control of the Ridershas. However, the Raiders winning streak started to wane once he was given a significant role. Following the team’s most recent defeat in Week 3, McDaniels has a record of 17 losses in 28 games over his first three seasons as an NFL head coach.
Josh Jacobs who signed a new deal with the Raiders this season and Davante Adams, two seasoned Raiders players, publicly stated their displeasure with their head coach, indicating that the team’s players are not satisfied with their record. Jacobs expressed his public displeasure with his own team’s lack of discipline under McDaniels and later claimed he was sick of losing. Adams reiterated the notion, claiming that the Raiders were not establishing a winning culture in the proper manner.
Marcus Peters is the most recent member of McDaniel’s group to join Jacobs and Adams in standing in the opposite row under these circumstances. Recently, the cornerback liked an Instagram photo with the contentious message, “Fire Josh McDaniels.”
Marcus Peters was signed by the Las Vegas Raiders early in camp after the Baltimore Ravens released him during the previous campaign.
