Culturally I don't think McDaniels was a great fit for them. He doesn't embody the tough ass outcast type image that's been the calling card for the Raiders when they were successful. So trying to be Patriots West is not at all what the Raiders are or should be. I think they need to get back to that scrappy identity of players with a chip on their shoulder who think they were cast off and want tobprove they still have something. Pierce can probably motivate them well enough for the rest of this year. But I think they need to get a guy more like Flores if they want an ex-Patriot. A guy who thinks the league excluded him and wants revenge.

By the sounds of it was pretty much Josh that had to go not as much as the GM but they got punted as a package deal.
Based on the information of the insiders the Raiders operated like it was still 2000, and he did a lot to hire in the scouting, developments, drafting etc. Essentially said he was modernizing the franchise to be in 2023.
