Josh McDaniels’ struggles a continuation of Bill Belichick’s rotten coaching tree
The Raiders learned a hard lesson about the Bill Belichick coaching tree: Don’t pick its fruitless branches.
Raiders (2-7) head coach Josh McDaniels is the latest Belichick disciple to crash. Even though he flashed brilliance as New England’s offensive coordinator, winning three Super Bowls, he’s flopping for the second time as a head coach.
McDaniels is 13-24 as a head coach in Denver and Las Vegas. He’s not the first Belichick understudy to fail.
Despite Belichick’s six Super Bowl titles in New England, having roots that tie back to him spells doom for a young head coach. Per BetMGM, Belichick has more regular-season wins (296) than all of his proteges combined (238). None have led their teams to a Super Bowl appearance.
