It’s too early to second-guess the Josh McDaniels hire. But it’s also impossible to ignore what a different coaching staff, with a less-talented roster, did last year.
Rich Bisaccia was hired as the Green Bay Packers Special team’s coach. The hire was made public on Tuesday (2/8/22) according to the Packers website. Special Teams coach was the position Bisaccia held with the Raiders before taking over Gruden. This begs the question, what must a coach do, to graduate from a coordinator to a Head coach? He ended up making a lateral move, after proving he could be successful as a head coach.
