There’s no calling a 6-11 season for any football team a success in any shape or form. So it wasn’t a surprise to hear Las Vegas Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels to admit as much as he closes his initial year as the boss, during his Monday season-ending press conference.
“We know what the goal is here and the standard. Certainly, our record and the way we finished this year isn’t that,” McDaniels said.
Compounding his initial year as the captain of the Silver & Black ship is the fact the Raiders were a playoff team last season (10-7 overall) and to have the following year end with a top 10 draft pick wasn’t the intention.
