The team is "cash poor" and can't afford to fire McDaniels and then pay another coach, according to
@BillPlaschke
"He'll be the coach this year and next year."

This is the most Raider thing I have ever seen. In a way, it's worse than the Russell Wilson contract because coach salaries don't count against the salary cap and we're talking about a few million here. Yes, a few million would tremendously impact my life. But look how much money the Hunts have. Or Jerry Jones or Stan Kroenke or Whats-His-Face Walton, the Broncos new owner. They all have enough green that they could fire McDaniels if they thought it best. But not the Raiders. Bad enough they fire a coach that was actually doing something and that the players wanted so they could hire someone with a proven record of losing. No, they have to put themselves in a financial bind so they can't fix their own mistake.
Classic.
