Josh McDaniels’ 5 most humiliating Raiders losses, including a defeat to Jeff Saturday

Josh McDaniels came, saw, and did not conquer with the Las Vegas Raiders.

On Wednesday, the organization fired McDaniels, arguably the NFL’s worst head coach, along with general manager, Dave Ziegler. After Jon Gruden, McDaniels is now the second sideline leader the Raiders are paying not to coach the team. Now, Las Vegas is back at square one while making it abundantly clear that Mark Davis’s organization is a coaching graveyard.

That got me thinking.

What was the most excruciating part of McDaniels’ embarrassing tenure in Las Vegas? Was it blowing five double-digit leads for losses? What about the “ingenious” offensive mind overseeing a team that failed to score 20 points in nine of his last 10 games? I personally loved watching a coach who made it unclear whether he was actively sabotaging his own team. There’s honestly so much McDaniels disaster to choose from, it boggles the mind.

In just 25 short Las Vegas games, McDaniels turned himself into the NFL’s preeminent punching bag. And deservedly so. Let’s rank the worst moments (i.e., losses) of a coaching job that never went anywhere.
