The Las Vegas Raiders are having huge problems to find the right path this year. After a 2-7 start, it seems like they’re not going to fight for anything this 2022 NFL season, but Mark Davis, the team’s owner, thinks they’re doing a ‘fantastic job’.
The whole AFC West has clearly not lived up to the expectations, but the Raiders are something else. This year, Las Vegas is really struggling in their Division and it is very unlikely to see them in Playoffs this year.
But for some members of the organization, things are not so bad. Despite their 2-7 record, Mark Davis thinks his team is performing well and recognized what they’re doing this season.
Raiders owner Mark Davis supports Josh McDaniels despite 2-7 start
Raiders’ fans wanted to have a successful 2022 NFL season, but it has been far from it. With a 2-7 start, it is very unlikely for them to advance to Playoffs, but that doesn’t matter for Mark Davis.
The team’s owner talked about Josh McDaniels‘ job in this campaign. The head coach started his contract with the Raiders this year, but it has not been a good beginning for him.
“I like Josh (McDaniels). I think he’s doing a fantastic job. That’s why I hired him,” Davis told the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Monday. “We did an exhaustive search and found the person we believe is going to bring the Raiders to greatness.”
Raiders gave McDaniels the opportunity to become their head coach after he shined as New England Patriots offensive coordinator. Unfortunately, they have not been able to perform well and are at the bottom of AFC West.
“As far as Josh goes, I have no issues,” Davis added. “I’m getting to know him a lot better. When you sign someone to a contract, don’t you expect him to fulfill the contract?”
It seems like they will give Johs McDaniels more time to adapt, even though fans are already getting tired of losing. They will have to trust Mark Davis and his decision to maintain the head coach.
