Given the Raiders’ position, McDaniels made a call that involved Derek Carr. This decision has got all the fans storming Twitter.

Fans did not take kindly to this decision. They had a lot to say to McDaniels about it. One fan stated that they believe that Derek Carr is not the problem but someone else might be.

Another fan claimed that the head coach was lying.

Furthermore, there were comments talking about how McDaniels is not fit for the head coach job.

Additionally, fans also proclaimed what McDaniels will achieve as a head coach.

Some of the fans got very intense and had very negative comments about McDaniels.

Certain comments implied a personal reason for benching Carr.

Long-time Raiders fans were adamant in their judgement of McDaniels.

Lastly, there were fans calling for a change in leadership in the locker room.

With the tweets, it became clear that there were a number of fans who truly believe that McDaniels is the problem with this team. They also believe that benching Derek Carr is not the right decision. Furthermore, there are fans who even called for the head coach’s dismissal from the position. Unfortunately for them, that might not be possible.

McDaniels’ position is ironclad

Despite the fans wanting McDaniels gone, he is here to stay. Earlier this season, the Raiders’ owner had voiced out his vote of confidence to McDaniels. Additionally, the Raiders do not actually have the means to fire him. With the Raiders’ ownership unable to hire better at the moment, the Raiders’ fans will have to grudgingly make do with who they have been given at the moment.

With the Raiders stuck with Josh McDaniels for the next season, the fans are going to have to make peace with his leadership. However, the true question that remains is, will the Raiders take a turn for the better under his leadership anytime soon?
