You had a feeling something was going to happen in Sin City. With the Raiders at 3-5 on the year, fans are not happy. Things reached a new low on Monday night, with the Raiders getting dominated on the road by the Detroit Lions.
Now, the team will have a new head coach moving forward. In a bit of a stunner, owner Mark Davis has decided to fire head coach Josh McDaniels. McDaniels arrived to Vegas with a ton of promise and people felt like he was the right man for the job. Now, though, he's out of one:

McDaniels clearly wasn't the right hire for this team from the start. Now, Antonio Pierce has taken over as interim head coach.
