I say if the players have faith and confidence in the man, give him an opportunity. Sure Davis, can pay big money for another coach to come in and lead but that person may not do any better than the man that the players already have trust and faith in... ???:

Suddenly, Mark Davis has a problem

Whenever I hear the phrase “good problem to have,” my response is that the only good problem to have is no problem at all.

Raiders owner Mark Davis has a problem.

The players on his team want interim coach Rich Bisaccia to get the permanent job. Multiple players, including quarterback Derek Carr, have spoken out in favor of Bisaccia.

How can Davis hire someone else? How would anyone else want that job, under these circumstances?

It’s already hard enough to show up and take over a new team. On top of everything else, the next Raiders coach (if it’s not Bisaccia) will have to worry about converting (or perhaps getting rid of) those who wanted Bisaccia. While the situation would be temporary, it could set the tone for the new coach’s tenure. And it could prompt a coach with options to shy away from taking the job.

As of Saturday, there was a sense that, if the Raiders win or keep it close, Bisaccia would have a chance. They kept it close. And, in true Raiders fashion, a bad call conspired to keep them from winning. Why not give Bisaccia a full year as the head coach to show what he can do?

Meanwhile, as Davis decides what to do, maybe some of these other teams looking for coaches should do their due diligence regarding Bisaccia. Maybe his right-place, right-time performance could help someone else conclude he’s the right guy.

I disagree. I want to move on from the interim and Carr. Time for a new chapter.

Mayock lost his job because he wasted too many high picks. Too many guys didn’t pan out or they got in trouble with the law.

They have also requested to interview Patriots’s defensive coordinator for the HC  job.

Given how my Raiders almost beat the Bengals, that just show how close they were to making the Superbowl too. Now, gotta do more than just make the playoff next season, gotta go further... O0

This is not good if the rumor is true...I've worked in jobs where the leaders didn't earn the respect and trust of their employees and that translated to low moral, lack of motivation, etc.

Plus, McDaniel's incident with the Colts can't be helpful either...

Like I've said, should've given the interim coach that the the players have trust and faith in an opportunity...

Anyways, hope it's not true because we've made progress this past season and it could wipe that out:

NFL Rumors: Raiders players 'disappointed' with Josh McDaniels hire

How Raiders players reportedly reacted to McDaniels hire

https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/patriots/nfl-rumors-raiders-players-disappointed-josh-mcdaniels-hire

That news apparently hasn't been well-received among Raiders players. According to The Athletic's Vic Tafur, they were "disappointed" by the McDaniels hire as they hoped to see interim coach Rich Bisacchia earn the gig.

More from Tafur:

"Raiders players were disappointed to hear the news after they had made a serious push for interim coach Rich Bisaccia and his staff. The players themselves probably thought the curse was over after they had overcome a series of off-field incidents and won four straight games down the stretch to make the playoffs for the first time in five years.

Tafur adds that Las Vegas' coaching staff also was "disappointed and a little bitter."

Bisaccia was interviewed for the Raiders' vacant head-coaching position along with Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, Patriots inside linebackers coach Jerod Mayo, and several others over a 12-day search. Ultimately, they opted for the guy with six Super Bowl rings.

McDaniels originally joined the Patriots as an assistant in 2001 and departed in 2009 to become head coach of the Denver Broncos. The 45-year-old spent two years in Denver and one as the St. Louis Rams' offensive coordinator before returning to New England in 2012.

Well, they can go elsewhere because Mark Davis is doing what’s best for the team not players. They want the interim to get hired but sorry this is a business.

I sure hope McDaniels does not give Carr a long term extension.

Find a trade partner for Carr, an average QB doesn’t get $40 mill plus.
