The biggest knock, and concerns about, Josh McDaniels before he was hired as the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders was his rocky tenure as the leader of the Denver Broncos more than a decade earlier.
Hired to replace two-time Super Bowl-winning champion coach Mike Shanahan at the age of 32 after a stint as Tom Brady’s hot-shot offensive coordinator of the New England Patriots, McDaniels turned out to be nothing short of a disaster in the Rocky Mountains. He was fired after 28 games with a 11-17 overall record.
