Marv Levy but otherwise it's a graveyard for the most part. It was a bad hire but I don't blame Davis (I blame him for everything else) so much for this one as there was a lot of pressure from players like Crosby, Adams, etc to bring him back and coupled in with the Bisaccia to McDaniels blunder, he cratered and gave the players what they wanted. A guy like AP would only go as far as his coordinators could take him and he hired one of the worst OC's in the NFL. That said I don't know how many coaches could win with the QB situation as Minshew was a lot worse than anticipated and AOC keeps getting hurt and even when healthy is only a quality backup QB. It's a mess but at least they have broken in a lot of young players on offense getting valuable development snaps. Even though it's not a great QB class I suppose it will be exciting drafting either Sanders or Ward as it's been a while since the Raiders have drafted a QB in the first round.
