The Real Reason Josh McDaniels Got Fired 

They never should've let Bisaccia go. Say what you will about him, but the players loved him, the fans loved him, and he brought much-needed support during all the chaos of their 2021 season. The players responded by going all the way to the Wild Card game. If anyone deserved another shot, it was him.

MDaniels is a genius. He figured out how to get paid for 6 years and only work a year and a half.

I've been an eagles fan and NFL. Fan for over 40yrs. And this is the first time I've ever seen every fan base celebrate the firing of a coach

No matter what team he coached for, we can all agree on this. Josh is a master at making the Broncos lose.

The way Broncos fans and Raiders fans can be united in something for once, our hatred for Josh McDaniels, is actually kind of beautiful.

As a Pats fan I wanted Josh to succeed in Oakland, not because I like him, but because I hated the idea that he may become our HC after Bill.

Basaccia won games, won over players, and won over fans. He never should have even been allowed out of the building at the end of the season without at least a 2 year contract to give him a shot. In the famous words of Al Davis, "Just Win Baby!" Here's hoping somewhere, somehow, Basaccia gets a second chance.

Why is it that the interim head coaches always seem so much better than the actual head coaches in Vegas? Lol

You're welcome Raiders fans Sincerely, Lions fans

I really hate that we didnt give Rich a chance… really wanted to know how good he really was

From a Broncos fan. Congratulations, Raiders. 👏 I'm glad you all got rid of him.

I’m kinda starting to think McDaniels is a genius. From the 2 head coaching jobs, he got paid for 10 years worth of salary in 3 years worth of “work”. About $60M from the Raiders for his 6 year contract and about $12M for his 4 year contract with the Broncos totaling $72M. That’s $24M/year worked 😂. And he’s only 47 years old.

The same reason Matt Patricia & Joe Judge got fired … they’re nothing without Tom Brady

Mark Davis in 2022: I want that offensive coordinator McDaniel guy as my head coach! Raiders intern: Yes sir! (Hires Josh McDaniels) MD: Josh McDaniels? I wanted Mike McDaniel! Crap. Well, lets just roll with it. What's the worst that could happen?

As a Die Hard 51 yr old Raider I cant believe I agree with you a Donkey Fan.. You also make kick ass content. Keep it up, you are the best thing going for the Broncos ;) You definitely got a like and even a subscribe out of me.

I agree, the raiders need new ownership and we need it desperately

I don't know why Bissacia didn't get a chance as head coach. Even if it didn't work out after 2021, no one would have blamed the Raiders for giving him a chance.

When he got rid of Carr, you had to know he didn’t learn anything from his time in Denver.

McDaniels has done nothing without Brady, just like Belicheck. There’s an obvious reason all of the “Patriot way” head coaches didn’t work out

A true legend. 100% vs his former teams and they will never ever get the chance to do anything about it.

With the way he dicked over the Colts, he should have never been given the chance to HC again. Now that he's repeated his disastrous first go-round, he should never, ever get another chance to destroy a franchise.

Bill Belichick to Josh McDaniels: You couldn't live with your own failure and where did that bring you? Back to me.

The fact McDaniels got let go before Staley is truly worthy of an entire senate committee investigation and full audit of the chargers franchise. Someone is getting a lil Krafty with the owner if you catch my drift.

I’m 33 so I vividly remember when McDaniel’s was the Broncos head coach. I literally feel like I’m watching history repeat itself with this guy. The only difference being that McDaniels started 6-0 with the Broncos in 09.

Raiders fan can rejoice for a bit. Especially if you watched HC Antonio Pierce's interview. A real old school Raider fan. I hope he does well. I love when former players make great coaches!

As a Raiders fan. I honestly am beyond ecstatic that he’s gone. I don’t even care if we lose every game from here on out

This gives me flashbacks to the Lions bringing in Bob Quinn and Matt Patricia "because they're Patriot guys" and how they tried to tear down a team that was on the fringes of a playoff spot for 3 years under Jim Caldwell. They tried to turn us into the Pats of the NFC by grabbing every castoff they could from Belichick and chased off our best players for scraps because "they don't fit the vision" including Darius Slay and Quandre Diggs. It's a true miracle that Campbell and Holmes could fix the mess those two created so fast, even if it took them until year 2 of their tenure. Hopefully Mark Davis learns his lesson and keeps Antonio Pierce as the coach if he does well, to make up for his bumbling of Bisaccia.

As a Raider fan I approve this message. I'm so glad Mc 🤡 is gone

As a raiders fan, thank you for making this video. Being a raiders fan is hard

Rich should have stayed The 2021 Raiders was a movie

I remember when Josh McDaniels outright declined the Bengals head coaching job after the 2018 season. And I was so happy that he did that because I already knew back then what we know now to be the truth: Josh McDaniels is a one-man destroyer of NFL organizations. He creates toxic and suffocating cultures, he breeds hostility and resentment in every player he coaches and the fact he is due another 40M for setting back another legendary NFL franchise by at least half decade is probably the best success by failure story in all of the 2020’s. Thank you, Josh, for not coming to Cincinnati. Seriously, this guy would’ve ruined Burrow and Chase and we would’ve not gone to back-to-back AFC title games and had a Super Bowl berth with him. We so dodged a huge bullet with him. Whew!

Antonio pierce was an incredibly intelligent player when I watched him play for the redskins. Had the playbook mastered in no time and commanded the defense pretty competently, I thought. I wish him the best. I’d also like to see more interims get 2 year contracts to see what they can do, if they are getting more wins than expected. Lot of 1/2 and dones for those guys, even the successful ones.

Antonio Pierce is a great player a former Arizona Wildcats alumni and a super bowl champion in 2007 with the Giants so i wish Mr.Pierce the best of luck as the new head coach for the Raiders

Maybe because he’s an arrogant toolbox that viewed his players as staff instead of as playmakers. I’m going to miss him promoting the check down machine option and sending Davante to the hospital each week with Jimmy’s suicide passes.

Please bring back Rich Bisaccia. He knows how to get the Raiders to be Raiders. That's all you want

The "won't get fooled again' joke at the end is top tier comedy.

Actually, paying Josh McDaniels to "not" coach your team is money very well spent! 😀

Teams need to stop going for coaches from the Bill Belichick tree. Just because he's a good coach doesn't mean that his assistants aren't going to be successful too. This isn't like Greg Popovich from the San Antonio Spurs who had several assistants and a former player become championship winning coaches. This is completely different.

You know, not saying Rich Bisaccia is a "set the world on fire" type of head coach, but considering that he has the players' respect, he turned a crappy situation around, and he probably would have signed for less, I have a hunch Bisaccia got shafted was cause of the stigma of being just a "special teams coach". Which is kind of stupid, cause special teams guys work with guys on both sides of the ball, and they deal with situational plays, which require a level of precision, a quality that a lot of good head coaches have. This stigma makes no sense. Just to prove my point: John Harbaugh worked as a special teams coordinator for years with the Eagles, but had to add being a defensive backs coach into his resume before teams would even consider him to be a HC. Hindsight is 20/20, considering the older Harbaugh worked out in Charm City, but you have to wonder how many potential HC candidates never get the call simply because "they're just a special teams guy".

as a Raiders Fan i can say THIS is definitly the best Intro for a new coach coming "straight outta compton" 6:18 🔥🔥🔥

thank you for this video.... Raiders fans have seen like 20 coaches over like the last 32 years. I can honestly say McDonalds was the only one I ever wished to see fired. Never have I seen a guy take over a solid team and be like: "Naw, I need my guys" and it turn out so horrible.

I never have to be confused between Mike McDaniel and Josh McDaniels names ever again

Raiders dropping Rich for McDummy is the most Mark Davis move ever

For him to get hired again after failing with the Broncos and ghosting the Colts was already pretty unbelievable but then to get the contract he did was basically unfathomable. It seemed like the Raiders wouldn’t be able to top the Gruden contract somehow they did immediately. That one is far more defensible than McDaniels and you didn’t really need the benefit of hindsight to say that. There were basically no fans of hiring McDaniels at the time and everyone was proven right.

Let's also not forget that his Raiders team was only spared the embarrassment of giving up a touchdown to a Chiefs team that played "Ring around the Rosie" before snapping the ball thanks to a penalty flag.

The only thing McDaniels has ever done well was draft Demarius Thomas R.I.P

I think the interview went along the lines of... "Josh, if I make you the Raiders HC, can you get me Tom Brady?" "Yes Mark, I can." Then Brady retired.

I’m a lifelong raiders fan , but I appreciate honesty and I really enjoyed your video 👍🏼

You know this was actually a very in-depth breakdown. Good job Brandon. Very insightful

Teams need to stop hiring patriots coaches. The reason why those teams had so much success was Brady not the coaching staff.

Bisaccia should still be there coaching for this team with how the players and fans felt towards him

We dodged a big bullet by not losing Renfrow

Brandon “when the broncos win, I touch My-shelf” Perna

As the late great Professor John Clayton called him "Joshy boy" McDaniels sucks. He never should've gotten hired by the broncos much less the raiders

Love the Bisaccia tributes in here. He deserved a cheap two-season deal and another year of Carr and Adams.

Dude, RaiderNation here. I LOVE YOUR ANALYSIS!! I liked and subscribed! We’ll probably hate each other being Raider/Bronco fans, but you are the BOMB! ESPN needs to save their channel by giving you a show. However, stay solo! We don’t need another “athlete” giving their opinions and experience. You give THE FANS OPINION! And with humor. That shit about Garapolo doing your wife while you watch has me f*****n’ ROTFLMAO! THANKS, you made my day😉

Bissaccia should've been their head coach. As a Packers fan I have this fleeting glimmer of hope that Lafluer and Barry will get fired mid season and Bisaccia will be named head coach.

LETS GO AIDEN!!!! I’m rooting for him. Especially cuz when we were kids he was the only nice person to me! He was the only person who passed me the ball

He got fired cause he thought replacing Derrick Carr with Jimmy Garopolo and be better when anyone with a brain who watches football would know better

Mark Davis has the amazing ability to always pick the worst possible choice for head coach

Brandon, Congratulations on the win! Wasn’t able to comment on IG.

Hell, Indy dodged a bullet!!

Basaccia was the right man for the job obviously. How was it possible that he wasn't even considered for the head coaching job? Sorry for the disrespect that you never deserved! LOVE YOU BASACCIA!

Damm, as a raiders fan, I never thought I'd like a broncos take. You were fair as hell

I'm gonna be expecting FivePointsVids to put up another video in his Snake saga on McDaniels. I thought I was getting trolled when a video posted at 1am had said he was fired in its title lmao

To be fair, John Gruden was helping the rebuild before the Ruggs and e-mail stuff

Raider fan here….great breakdown. One thing I noticed seeing McDaniels on the sidelines coaching in Vegas…..he would always be by himself. Nobody around him. Not talking to anyone…not hyping anyone up. It’s weird to see.

McDaniels never should've been hired for another head coaching job. He previously screwed up Denver and left Indy at the altar. Raiders were fools to give him the job with all the obvious red flags attached to him.

Mcdaniels is to arrogant to realize that he could be the real problem. He was hired for the same reason Hackett was hired to pair with a hall of fame QB that did not happen

Raiders and Broncos fans can unite over two things now hatred for the chiefs and hatred for Josh McDaniel

Raider fan here to say that this video is hilarious! Well done! :)

I’m a raiders fan and don’t really watch football content outside of my team. But I find your content wildly entertaining. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for reopening your emotional scars for our entertainment Brandon. We love you for it

The 1st thing Antonio Pierce did at Long Beach Poly was change the team’s uniforms an make his son a captain… then went on to make his team forfeit wins an get banned from the playoffs.. then he left an got in trouble at ASU!! Well it’s good to see one of my people fail up! Poly got better the moment he left

Brady really had everyone thinking McDaniels was a top offensive mind for years. Brady was the offensive coordinator the whole damn time lol.

What's interesting about McDaniels is it's not just that he's a terrible head coach. In both Denver and Las Vegas, his players HATED him. There are a ton of failed NFL head coaches floating around, but usually the players don't hate their guts. Urban Meyer would be the only other example I can think of. A lot of similarities there.

Thank god! Im actually stoked to watch my Raiders again!!!

Letting Bisaccia go was Mark Davis' worst decision to date.

I hope this means it’s the end of “the patriot way” - too many lives & teams have been ruined by it 😢

Appreciate your content, my man As much as Raiders and Broncos can join together an commiserate peacefully over McD…this Las Vegas franchise and fan base is fractured from within The Derek Carr Civil War/Davis not being able to make a competent hire has broken the brains of RaiderNation and nothing short of achieving and sustaining success (winning meaningful playoff games) will be able to heal it I really don’t see a path to that success opening up anytime soon

What happens in vegas stays in Vegas, except Josh Mcdaniels, he can't stay.

Hey Brandon, just wanted to say I love you and am proud of you! I have been watching you since I was really young and you have developed my love and passion for the sport of football, thank you sir. Just know the work you and Will do is so appreciated. Love you?

As a Ravens fan, I can safely say we got him fired twice. We laid his flaws bare after his Broncos got lit up 30-7 at M&T Bank Stadium in 2009, and they ended up finishing 8-8. The next year, we crushed them in Baltimore again, and he got fired a few days later. This year he and his GM were so pesky about the prices they wanted for Josh Jacobs and Davante Adams, and they're still in Vegas because they wanted a Herschel Walker-type package. Including a 1st and 3rd for Adams, and a 2nd for Jacobs. Those players aren't worth those picks. Baltimore wisely said no to the offers. And now both men are gone. TAKE THAT MCFIRED!

The Raiders and Broncos Fan Bases have brought Me so much joy! This Guy must’ve really been a Joy! 🤣

Oh I've been waiting for this one.

Nobody, not even his own wife, likes Josh McDaniels

We are learning that BB is the smartest guy in the room. He was always cold and calculated with and knew what to do in the right moments and had the answers to the test. He always lacked heart, and Emotional depth. Brady was the heart and soul of those teams. Brady took the coldness and attitude to use his brain while keeping everyone on the same page and building the relationships and buy in for all 53 guys. They organization treated the players like replaceable journeymen passing through. Never investing in the players. Brady was the guy that got the players to buy in and he had the guys back no matter what. He was the greatest leader of men. He knew BB was a hard ass but he was a smart hard ass. Without Brady all the BB Coaching tree does it do what they know and that is be the smartest guy in the room and the biggest Dick in the room. Never focusing on Player relationships or Buy in... Just do what I say when I say it. Its clear you need more than just the Xs and Os and Jimmys and Joes... You need leaders and people that care about each other. I know the movie Any Given Sunday is over the top but the look around speech really sums up why BB and his lackys are unsuccessful without Tom Brady.

Perna, congrats on getting to 500k! Thank you for including the Zeppelin/GVF/The Who joke at the end, had me rolling. Happy belated birthday as well! Happy trails!

Thank goodness lions have a good coach

McDaniels smashed the Denver Donkeys into a pile of goo.....and they fired him!!!!!!!

As a Raiders fan this video was fucking awesome Brandon! Congrats on the victory over the Kansas City Swiftys!

4:33.... I'm dying lol!!!!! Great video, my only criticism is that this video isnt longer!! Lol

Mark Davis looks like the world's oldest baby. He looks like an unholy combination of a 90-year-old man and a newborn baby. It's uncanny.

Sports coaching is the only profession where getting fired for poor performance leads to job interviews for the same position 😅

15:53 there's always at least one gem in your videos and I love it. keep up the great work

THANKS BRO! IM EAST COAST I APPRECIATE YOU HELPING ME TO BETTER UNDERSTAND MAYBE ROCH WITH THE INTERIM COACH THIS TIME

Raiders fans have heen asking for Aidan to start since the preseason. I'm glad you agree. He's got rookie tendencies no doubt, but he also has balls and actually throws to Renfrow. The sky is the limit.

He deserved this, and so did the Raiders front office. Letting Bisaccia go after somehow holding that broken team together was unforgivable. If they’re smart, they’d try and rehire him for next year, or at bare minimum get him back on the team.

McDaniels gets a lot of hate, as he should, for what went down in LV, but people seem to be giving Dave Ziegler, another NE transplant a pass. He deserves as much if not more of the criticism for those personnel moves that Perna listed.

Great work on the half million subs! You're good people. Enjoyed you on HBTC!
