The Las Vegas Raiders have had just two winning seasons in the past 23 years, finishing 12-4 in 2016 and 10-7 in 2021. Both of those runs ended with a one-and-done postseason appearance as the team lost in the Wild Card Round.
The run in 2021 was particularly inspiring, as the team had to deal with Jon Gruden's midseason resignation over leaked emails and Henry Ruggs' release after a drunk driving incident that resulted in him being charged with driving under the influence resulting in death, and reckless driving.
While Rich Bisaccia led the team on that run, the Raiders did not retain him, opting to swing for the fences by hiring Josh McDaniels.
