Raiders Fire GM Dave Ziegler & Head Coach Josh McDaniels
The Raiders have made a surprising late-night move, firing both head coach Josh McDaniels and General Manager Dave Ziegler.
In a statement, team owner Mark Davis remarked,
“After much thought about what the Raiders need to move forward, I have decided to part ways with Josh and Dave. I want to thank them both for their hard work and wish them and their families nothing but the best.”
The decision comes following the Raiders’ 26-14 loss to Detroit on “Monday Night Football,” marking their second consecutive defeat, bringing the team’s record to 3-5.
Davis had appointed both McDaniels and Ziegler simultaneously in January 2022, with both individuals having affiliations with the Patriots organization.
McDaniels was in his second tenure as the team’s offensive coordinator, and Ziegler served as New England’s director of player personnel.
To fill the void, the Raiders have designated linebackers coach Antonio Pierce as their interim head coach.
They also announced that current assistant general manager Champ Kelly will step in as interim GM.
Furthermore, the Raiders have underscored their intention to embark on an extensive search for a new permanent head coach and GM once the 2023 season concludes.
