I saw something that said Mark told them originally they had to the end of the 24 season to get this rebuild done.

It wasn't really a rebuild when you trade for Adams, extend Carr, and re-sign Jacobs and Waller. This team was supposed to become a perennial playoff contender when JMD got hired.

I'm sure he will have promised time and job security.

Problem is, I don't think McDaniels & Ziegler were meeting anything near the level of expectations that the franchise put on them up until now, so it's completely fair for Mark to renege on that.

No point in letting them play out the full 3 years if the 3 years they do have are all wasted.

Mark: You guys have til the end of 2024 to get this rebuild done. 

Dumb and Dumber: Rebuild? This is a reload. We don't need a rebuild. We're gonna extend the important weapons and trust the process. It's our way. 

Mark: Bet. 

Dumb and Dumber then proceed ro necessitate a rebuild for 2024. 

Mark, finally: Get out.

Like usual, they were completely out of the loop. Saying it was a low chance they would be canned

Natl media said many times that McDaniels was on thin ice.  Sports books had McDaniels as the fav first coach to be fired

Funny thing is, it appears to have gone down like:

- Mark Davis tells JM & DZ they have 3 years security
- JM & DZ act like their jobs will be totally safe no matter how bad things get and confess as much to reporters
- Raiders beat guys act like this made them untouchable for that full duration, and got annoyed at the number of people wanting them fired

Nobody in the NFL gets 3 full seasons irrespective of their performance in the role. Nobody. You can take over a 0-16 team with no assets whatsoever, and if you don't start to show some signs of a turnaround by your 3rd season then you're out in the street. And the Raiders job McDaniels took was not like that. It was a team coming off a playoff appearance, possibly slightly overrated but still featuring numerous quality assets to build with.

To assume that they were safe after a year and a half of no progress; performances which had put them under immense fan pressure, a locker room starting to leak negativities and an owner who was clearly losing his patience - it's just awful, shoddy journalism all round. Our beat guys suck.

Just a complete failure in a plan. And it went so horribly wrong, that they didn't get a second chance.

Extend the core players? Sure, then you should make the playoffs. Didn't make the playoffs.

OK, we need a new QB and a WR 2 and we will be in the playoffs. Then proceed to run the worst offense in the past decade. The entire offense looks worse in every way. 

On a micro level, draft a rookie QB and not let him play. Or even worse, say he's not ready to play, which is your fault. Other teams are able to get a rookie QB ready and do what they have to do to set him for success. Couldn't do it.

And the personnel choices all blew up in their faces. You just don't get another shot in this league after that many mistakes.

Mark: You have until the end of 2024 to get this rebuild done

JMD: Lets go, Jimmy will have full understanding of the offense by then.

Mark: I meant, bench jimmy, start AOC to see what we have in him, and if we lose i wont blame the qb on you

JMD: but Mark, Jimmy is the goat, hae you seen his W/L stats? He made Kyle a HOFer!

Mark: ok, nvm, you goota go
