The Raiders' Monday night loss to the Lions appeared to be the final straw for team owner Mark Davis, who fired coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler this week.
Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis broke his silence on the recent sweeping changes to the team's coaching staff and front office. Head coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler were both fired earlier this week, and Davis said the decision was made in part due to his belief the team was not progressing. 'Unfortunately, I had great hopes for Josh and Dave,' Davis told ESPN. 'It just seemed we were going in the wrong direction.
