Marcus Peters, newly acquired Raiders player, ‘Likes’ call to fire coach Josh McDaniels amid team’s frustration

The Las Vegas Raiders find themselves in turbulent waters as the 2023 NFL season unfolds. Recent comments from running back Josh Jacobs and wide receiver Davante Adams have openly expressed their frustrations, shedding light on the team’s internal discord. The situation escalated further when cornerback Marcus Peters ‘liked’ an Instagram post with a caption that read, “Fire Josh McDaniels.”

The Raiders currently hold a disappointing 1-3 record, adding to the mounting pressure on Head Coach Josh McDaniels. Jacobs left no room for interpretation, stating, “I’m tired of losing. Just keep it 100… I’m tired of f—-ing losing.” Adams echoed the sentiment, asserting, “I don’t got time to wait around.”

This public airing of grievances underscores the dissatisfaction within the Raiders’ locker room and the urgency for improvement. The team is set to face the Green Bay Packers in Week 5, further intensifying the spotlight on their struggles.

Josh McDaniels, who assumed the role of head coach last season, has faced criticism since his arrival. However, the team’s performance has done little to alleviate the concerns of fans and players alike. The desire for McDaniels’ removal has grown, with some advocating for his departure as early as last season.

While it remains unlikely that a coaching change will occur in the immediate future, the sentiment among fans and possibly players is clear. Marcus Peters, who joined the Raiders in July, publicly supported the call to oust McDaniels by ‘liking’ the Instagram post in question.
