Overview

The Las Vegas Raiders facilities rate at or near the top of the NFL in nearly every category and remain a great facility for players to work at; the club’s shortcomings were tied directly to players’ opinions about their former head coach, Josh McDaniels (the survey was taken while he was the Head Coach). The responding players’ strong negative assessment of the former head coach significantly brought down the club’s overall ranking. The hope is that newly hired head coach Antonio Pierce will create a better working environment to match the top-of-the line facilities in Las Vegas.

Some of the issues raised by players include: 

  • Poor scheduling/time efficiency both during the week and while traveling 
  • A need to improve trust and respect for players from the head coach 
  • A need for a better approach and winning culture
