Raiders Were Right to Fire Josh McDaniels, But Timing Seems Wrong

In isolation, the Raiders' choice to fire Josh McDaniels and Dave Ziegler makes sense. The timing, however, might not be ideal.

While the 2023 NFL trade deadline was largely quiet, there was still a major piece of football news. On Tuesday night, the Las Vegas Raiders announced that they had fired head coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler.'After much thought about what the Raiders need to move forward, I have decided to part ways with Josh and Dave,' owner Mark Davis said in a statement shared on X, formerly Twitter.

The upcoming schedule includes two dates with the reigning champion Kansas City Chiefs, plus a matchup with the 6-2 Miami Dolphins.So Vegas probably isn't going to be a playoff team. And, if you're going to be bad, then it would make sense to sell off some assets ahead of the trade deadline. Stockpiling draft picks might not be fun in the short term, but at least they'd provide some compensation for struggling down the stretch.
