Chiefs fans rejoice over Raiders hiring Josh McDaniels
By Ethan Lee
The Las Vegas Raiders made the decision to hire Josh McDaniels, but that doesn’t seem to concern many Kansas City Chiefs fans.
Kansas City Chiefs fans seem to be interested in welcoming Josh McDaniels back to the AFC West. It certainly looks like they’re happy the Las Vegas Raiders hired him. McDaniels, who is reportedly leaving the New England Patriots for the Raiders, was one of the best head coaching candidates available this year.
But that doesn’t mean much to the folks in Kansas City. This isn’t the first time the Chiefs will be meeting up with McDaniels on a regular basis.
McDaniels, who has been with the Patriots since 2012, was once the head coach of the Denver Broncos. Now 45 years old, McDaniels led Denver from 2009 to 2010 and was thoroughly unsuccessful. During his time as a head coach, McDaniels only managed to win 11 games and lost 17.

Now it looks like Chiefs fans are more than happy to see he’ll be coaching against their team on a regular basis.

Dear @Raiders, please hire Josh McDaniels as your next head coach. That will guarantee you have the number one draft pick next year. Sincerely, all Chiefs fans. #ChiefsKingdom

As a whole, McDaniels wasn’t successful during his time with Denver, but he didn’t really do all that poorly against Kansas City. However, at that time, the Chiefs were in a pretty bad spot. Now? Well, they’re arguably the best-run franchise in the NFL.
Of course Kansas City fans are excited about McDaniels making his way back out west.
I’ll be scared for his first 6 games…..just like when he went to Denver

What the McDaniels hire tells me is that the chiefs have nothing to be concerned about in that division lol.

@chiefs Congratulations!!!! Raiders look to pick Josh McDaniels as coach! He will bring to the Raiders the kind of skill, cunning and success he brought formerly to the Broncos! My prayers have come true. The absolute worst choice.......

This is amazing. Josh McDaniels may come to the Raiders and Paul Hackett's son is going to the Broncos. Good news for Chiefs fans! Sorry for Broncos and Raiders fans!

The Raiders have some interesting pieces that they can build their team with, but it remains to be seen what exactly they will do moving forward. Bringing in a new head coach would present the perfect opportunity to completely overhaul the roster and rebuild if they chose to go down that path.
Lol I promise you the Chiefs nor the Chargers GIVE AF about the Raiders hiring McDaniels neither do the Broncos https://t.co/KWTakbA4kS

As the head coach of the #Broncos from 2009-2010, Josh McDaniels had an 11-17 head-coaching record. #Chiefs went 2-2 against him under Todd Haley in those years. Kyle Orton vs. Matt Cassel/Brodie Croyle were the QB matchups. Don't miss that.

As a Chiefs fan, I fully support the Raiders hiring Josh McDaniels 🤣 https://t.co/nHOtVyiuPe

McDaniels has grown a lot since he was last a head coach. He’s learned a lot over the past decade or so. He’s had plenty of opportunities to learn how to be a better coach.
But, will any of that matter as he steps in with the Raiders?
