On the LV Raiders podcast with Rich Perez:

#1 The Las Vegas Raiders got to work in the wee hours of Wednesday morning in making coaching changes at head coach, quarterback coach, offensive coordinator, and general manager. Rich first wanted to get your reaction on the firings of former head coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler.

#2 The Raiders were 3-5 after last Monday Night’s loss to the Detroit Lions. The Raiders only were able to coup 157 total yards and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was sacked six times. After a game like that owner Mark Davis didn’t waste anytime deciding to make changes.

#3 The Raiders have had their share of tough games but one of the added features to these firings has to be from the reaction that wide receiver Devante Adams displayed when he fired his helmet down in front of the Raiders bench when the offense just wasn’t getting anything going in the second half.

#4 Rich, tell us about your thoughts on interim head coach Antonio Pierce who was the Raiders linebackers coach. Did he pretty much get selected because he was a good motivator, someone who the players respected on and off the field and a coach who can make the difference in the remaining nine games.

#5 Did McDaniels seem to lose the team after getting clobbered by the Chicago Bears, this recent loss on Monday night to the Lions, and how some of the offensive play calling came into question?
