Fan Confronts Mark Davis In His Suite, Tells Him To Fire Josh McDaniels?! | Pat McAfee Reacts

Have you seen what's going on with the Raiders? Okay, so the Raiders, obviously, in the middle of a little bit of a to-do. So the Raiders take on the Chargers and we get a video on a sofa of some fans talking to Mark Davis. They got Mark Davis basically sitting in a seat that is very accessible to a lot of people and Raiders fans felt this was the time to send some messages. Here's from this past weekend. Fire him! I got a guy there, guys. Alright, Mark Davis, obviously one of the most electrifying owners in the league. His haircut is awesome. The way he handles things is hilarious. Obviously got the team from his dad, leaves Oakland, goes to Vegas. He's got a lot on his plate. I think there's an IRS investigation that was taking place last year, let alone everything else. His life, I assume if it was a documentary or a movie, would have incredible scenes scattered throughout its entirety. But him hearing from his fans, you know, first of all, them putting him in that suite. Yeah. Interesting. He's bald. He had something to do with that. That's his... Yeah, he has control, right? He could... Well, I guess he probably could just go to the indoor part. That was a sofa. I think that was a sofa. Okay, okay. I think that was a sofa. But like, him having that much access to the people, I mean, that was an alley-oop for something to be said. But did you hear what they were saying? They were saying, fire him, when they were talking about McDaniels. They hate this guy and what he's been doing in Las Vegas. And then you hear Josh Jacobs talk after the game. And Josh Jacobs, obviously, we knew that he had a little bit of a situation contractually. And last year, he was the number one rusher in the entire NFL. And if you go back even further, his story, I believe he was homeless in high school. This dude's a dog, a great football player. Here's him talking after the game about his life as a Raider. For me, it's frustrating, man. I'm tired of losing. Just keep it 100. I'm tired of losing, man. I mean, I feel like every day I go in there and I work my ass off. So eventually, something's got to give. Is the fact that it's close, is it like, okay, we're right there, or is it just even more frustrating? Nah, man, that make it worse. That make it worse, man, because that just means, you know, five to six plays, you do them right. Difference in the outcome of the game. But at the same time, you're tired of saying five or six plays, difference in the outcome of the game. It's just time to do that. It's amazing we're four weeks into this, and they seem to be broken. Not only Josh Jacobs, but also the fans. And Mark Davis is giving thumbs up, but behind the scenes, everything's thumbs down. It does feel like, especially with the whole Chandler Jones situation that is just happening live in person as we speak. So what do you think about the Raiders? What do you think about Josh Jacobs and what he said there? And how do they fix it over there, AJ, this early into the season? Well, whatever needs to happen to fix it, which the coaches, I'm sure, are all scrambling to try to figure that out, it has to happen quick. We know you do this a couple more weeks in a row. You let a couple more games get away from you. It's not looking good. It's looking like a tough season for the rest of the year. So I don't know what they need to do, honestly. Is McDaniels the answer? People talk about firing a coach, though. I'd like to know who do you want to replace him with? Who do you have to step in that role? What you said, go ahead. I was saying, who's the alternative, what AJ was saying. But it seems like they kind of have the right guys in the locker room, right? You got Devontae Adams. Obviously, he's frustrated. He's used to winning, been in Green Bay all that time. Jimmy G's been a winner throughout his career. Obviously, he's banged up. Josh Jacobs, coming from Alabama, he's used to winning. And these guys are playing hard. Max Crosby is a guy I would build my defense around with how he plays up front. So you got some of the guys in the locker room. So you definitely got to look at the head coach, especially when you're kicking field goals down, what, eight in a game? Making bad decisions. So Josh McDaniels, I think- This kind of goes back to the conversation, and I don't want to do this, but we have to. The Belichick coaching tree is a terrible one, as head coaches. They're terrible. Like, McDaniels, we saw the song and dance at Denver. Now he had Tim Tebow. Hey, God bless him. Want to play off against Pittsburgh Steelers, which is a part of the whole Tomlin- True. That was Fox. Oh, OK. He was already gone by then. Oh, OK, that was John Fox. All right, never mind. Never mind, sorry about that. We do apologize for that. Tim Tebow, though. Yeah. Demares Thomas. Oh, yeah. We love him, but that was a great ball. It was. That was the first touchdown they scored maybe in 10 weeks. Yeah. First play. They were winning games like six to two. Oh, yeah. Do you remember that? Oh, yeah. Steelers had nine in the box on that. They just had singled up on the wide outs outside. Anyway, so McDaniels would probably say that he wasn't given a full opportunity to win as a head coach there, but you start going down the list of all these Belichick disciples who have been given the keys to a building and to run things, and for one reason or another, they seemingly all stink. And this is McDaniel's second opportunity. His second opportunity could have been with the Colts. Remember, the Colts hired him as the head coach. He turned his plane around, went back to New England because he was supposed to be the next head coach of the Patriots. Then Bill Belichick said, that's funny, I'm never retiring. So 30 years from now, is that what you're going to do? He ends up taking the Raiders gig with a friend as the GM. This is going to be good. McDaniels is going to be great. They're spending money. They're signing people. They're making moves. They stink. Day to day, it feels like the Belichick Patriot way. He's just not an easy one to implement in other places. You were drafted to the Patriots. How much do you think that has to play in to what's going on at the Raiders right now? And is this just going to be forever that Belichick's assistants suck as head guys? I mean, it's hard. Like you said, it's hard to replicate. And you're seeing it now with Bill. You know, once Brady leaves, and all of these teams and all these organizations. Oh, is it the Brady way? It wasn't even the Patriot way. Well, Brady, obviously, is a huge, huge part of it. But all these organizations, you talked about it, being able to talk trash to other teams. Usually, you have a dog at quarterback. Like, I don't care who your head coach is, the owner, the GM. Like, it starts with quarterback. Peyton, Drew, Aaron, Cam at his height. Whoever it is, it starts around that guy. So, you need that guy. And then you can implement whatever system. You know, Pete Carroll, he's did it his way, which is completely different than what Bill Belichick has done. So, it's a thousand ways to skin a cat. Let's go through it, though. Man, Janie, he had guys doing 6 a.m. Oklahoma drills on Wednesdays. That's right. Like, 10 weeks into the season. Do you remember hearing that? Oh, yeah, I remember. We, when he went to, I mean, Janie went to Cleveland. We played, a couple of my former teammates, we played them in the preseason. We went to dinner the night before with them. They're like, man, I will do whatever it takes to get back here. I wanna be back in Green Bay. I was sitting in Indianapolis locker room, just like, chilling, wondering to myself, what are other places like? And I actually openly asked that question. And then somebody said, my buddies on the Bronze right now, they just got done doing Oklahoma drills. I'm like, it's 6.45. 6 a.m., they're doing Oklahoma drills this morning because he wanted to instill toughness. He wanted to make the team tougher and more disciplined, more accountability. It's like, well, they're still the Bronze after this whole thing. It's gonna be tough to keep people showing up and doing that. You can talk about Joe Judge. You can talk about Matt Patricia. You can talk about McDaniels. You can talk about Flores. It's like, one thing after another, for whatever reason, all eyes point to like, oh, the reason why it happened up there is because of Bill. Not because all these guys. Are the Raiders gonna have to acknowledge that or is just this McDaniels getting a bad shake? Because remember, no Chandler Jones, okay? That kind of came out of nowhere. Now, we hope everything's okay. He's been arrested. Obviously, we watched a live on X. That was not good. He's a difference maker, especially with Max Crosby. They might be a completely different team with him playing. There's no way McDaniels kind of knew that was gonna take place. Now, you're talking about Chandler Jones. They also drafted Tyree Wilson, what, seven overall, I think, who a lot of people say, oh, this guy may be better than Jalen Carter or Will Anderson. He hasn't had really any production. Well, and then previous draft picks. Yeah, Farrell and Farrell, yeah. Wasn't him, though. That was McDaniels. That was a different. No, but I'm just saying, like, the players that you could have on your team could also help McDaniels in this thing, but all the stats are gonna say Belichick Disciple sucks as a head coach. That's just how it's gonna read. Yeah, and now it's even more so that because Jimmy G is the guy that they brought in to save him and he's hurt four games into the season. He was hurt when he showed up. And then he even knows, so it's one of those things where absolutely, like, you need to get players in there, but he's already done that. He traded for Devontae right away. He has guys. He signed Jacoby Myers in the off season. Like, it feels as though he's done everything that you're supposed to do. You're supposed to have a weapon. You're supposed to have a pass rusher. You're supposed to have all those things. Good special teams. Good special teams, which they do. They have that. They have, you know, finally the quarterback after they brought him in, but now it's solely McDaniels and it's just not gonna work. Well, maybe, hey, whoa. We're only four weeks into this thing. And Billy-O was okay, too. I just thought about Billy-O. We're a year. He had some decent years in Houston. Won a couple divisions. Oh, Billy-O. Yeah, and people won't count Vrabel. Yeah, they gave up that 24-point lead to the Chiefs that started their dynasty. I know, but I'm just saying, yes, they were in the play. They were the team that was in the playoffs, I think in the AFC Championship? No, Division I. They played the Titans the next year. And Vrabel isn't a Belichick disciple, but he does credit Bill with a lot of the stuff that he is. But he didn't grow up in the coaching tree. No. He started in Houston. Yeah, right. He started his coaching gig there. Bill's GM, too. He just played there. What's that? Bill's the GM, too. He's GM. He's the head coach. And you had Lombardi. You had Pioli. You had Casario, all these other guys who've kind of been his right-hand man. But he's essentially been the GM for that whole run, too. How have they done? I mean, that's a whole nother. We haven't even talked about his scouting department. Casario's doing nice. You could say he's doing really well, yeah. Very well in Houston. So I guess maybe- He inherited the mess, too. He inherited a few shows. Not just a small one. Yeah, no. Not just a small one. He inherited maybe the biggest fire in the history of the NFL down there. And he had to figure out Easterbee's situation. Remember, because there was a guy that was FCA-ing down there. And also, you remember, he was two-stepping on the water like Jesus Christ. Red face, blue face. He two-stepped right into a GM gig. What do you mean? I know. Well, I don't know if it was his two-step, but he did have a couple sermons at that McNair family. It was like, this guy needs to not only be telling us about Jesus, he needs to be telling us about football, as well.
