Mark Davis Faces Another Raiders Reset Amid Frustration and Uncertainty
Alright, let’s break down what’s happening in Las Vegas right now, because the situation around Mark Davis and the Raiders has turned into one of the most complicated stories in the NFL — and honestly, one of the most frustrating.
This season was supposed to be different. With Tom Brady stepping in as a minority owner and longtime winners like Pete Carroll and John Spytek joining the building, the belief was that the Raiders were finally moving toward stability. Instead, what’s unfolded has felt like a reset on top of a reset, and people inside and outside the organization are openly questioning what direction the franchise is actually heading in.

Right now, the Raiders sit near the very bottom of the league at 2-11, tied with the Giants and Titans for the worst record in football. And for Mark Davis, who has already cycled through coach after coach since taking ownership in 2011, things are once again spiraling. There’s real chatter — not whispered, but said plainly by league executives — that Pete Carroll might be a one-and-done head coach in Las Vegas. For a 74-year-old Hall of Famer who was brought in to stabilize a chaotic franchise, this season has been anything but steady.
Carroll has tried to stop the bleeding. He’s already fired two major assistants, including offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, who was brought in with big expectations and a massive contract. But the changes haven’t helped. The team has dropped seven straight, the offense has struggled, and the defense can’t keep up. Even the locker room is feeling the stress, with players admitting they aren’t sure what the actual plan is.
Amid all this, John Spytek — the GM — is expected to stay. His long relationship with Tom Brady is a major reason he’s considered safe, even as the season unravels. That influence from Brady has been felt everywhere, from the coaching choices to the quarterback decisions. But almost nothing has clicked. Geno Smith was brought in as a short-term answer at quarterback, only for the move to backfire badly. Mistakes have piled up, expectations haven’t been met, and confidence inside the building has dipped.
The big question now is what Mark Davis does next. If Carroll is let go — and many believe that’s coming — the Raiders will enter yet another offseason searching for both a new head coach and possibly a new quarterback. Again. It’s a cycle no owner wants to repeat, but it has become an unfortunate pattern for this franchise.
In the end, it’s clear this season hasn’t played out the way Davis hoped. The promise of the “Brady influence” hasn’t translated into wins, and the organization feels as unsettled as ever. For Raiders fans, it may require a lot more patience, because the climb back to relevance looks like it’s still a long way off.
