Empty Confidence
One of the clearest reasons why the Raiders fired McDaniels is because of his empty confidence. He continually insisted the team was getting better and showing signs of going in the right direction. However, reality painted a different picture and began to irritate Mark Davis.

In the end, they lost all confidence in McDaniels’ empty sense of confidence (via NBC Sports).
