Raiders owner Mark Davis says frequent coaching changes affected Derek Carr

PHOENIX -- Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis spoke Monday at the NFL owners' meetings about the organization's decision to move on from longtime starting quarterback Derek Carr, saying constant change in the team's head coach played a big part in Carr's relative lack of on-field success.

Davis, on the six-year anniversary of the Raiders winning the vote to move from Oakland to Southern Nevada, said he shouldered the responsibility.

"Derek did a hell of a job, but throughout the process, he went through [six] different coaches so he never had a consistency to the head coaching part of the thing, nor to his coordinator part," Davis said.
