Fans did not take kindly to this decision. They had a lot to say to McDaniels about it. One fan stated that they believe that Derek Carr is not the problem but someone else might be.
So he played well in a season where his top WR went to jail and his head coach resigned. But he's underperforming after you trade for Davante Adams and hire Josh Mcdaniels? Gee I wonder who the problem is..

Another fan claimed that the head coach was lying.
What a liar. Why can’t he just tell it how it is? “We are planning to cut Derek Carr, so we can’t risk him getting injured because then we’d have to pay him for next year.”

Furthermore, there were comments talking about how McDaniels is not fit for the head coach job.
Josh McDaniels is the one that should be benched.He has successfully lost the Dressing room in less then 1 season . Adams sure looked like he wanted to be there.. NOT..Carr is the reason he came to the Raiders.Carr has more respect in that dressing room then McDaniels will.. Ever

I’ve been a Raider since’82. And I’ve NEVER been ashamed of this team, until now. Josh McDummy is a fraud. And Mark Davis, your decisions are as bad as your choice in hairstyles. DISGUSTING 🤮

Dudes Ego can't handle a strong player, especially at QB.

Long-time Raiders fans were adamant in their judgement of McDaniels.
I'm a Raiders Fan for 45 years!!! And McDaniels is the problem and his horrible play calling … When you have a QB like Carr who plays Great when given freedom to change the play at the line the team excels… but when you have to run the play regardless you see the outcome

McDaniels’ position is ironclad
Despite the fans wanting McDaniels gone, he is here to stay. Earlier this season, the Raiders’ owner had voiced out his vote of confidence to McDaniels. Additionally, the Raiders do not actually have the means to fire him. With the Raiders’ ownership unable to hire better at the moment, the Raiders’ fans will have to grudgingly make do with who they have been given at the moment.
