Raiders Rumors: Josh McDaniels' 'People Skills' and 'Culture' Played Role in Firing

The demanding environment created by Josh McDaniels reportedly played a role in his firing from the position of head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders last week.

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, sources indicated that McDaniels' people skills and the culture he put in place were the "primary issues" that led to his termination.

Fowler added that some players felt "overworked" and voiced their concerns to owner Mark Davis in a team meeting, which ultimately resulted in the decision to part ways with McDaniels, general manager Dave Ziegler and offensive coordinator Mick Lombardi.
