Richard Seymour Believes Future is Bright For Josh McDaniels

Hall of Famer and former Las Vegas Raider Richard Seymour said Josh McDaniels will "be coach of the year here soon."

Yet another Raiders legend has commended the Josh McDaniels hire. Newly added Hall of Famer Richard Seymour expressed strong praise for the new head coach on Monday. 

The two go as far back as 21 years when they joined the New England Patriots in 2001. McDaniels was a defensive coaching assistant at the time, while Seymour was an All-Pro defensive lineman. Together, they contributed to three Super Bowl titles for the Patriots.

Seymour is a close acquaintance of Raiders owner Mark Davis as well, whom Seymour spoke with about the hiring of McDaniels.

"I talked to Mark," Seymour said, per Steve Doerschuk of The Repository. "I told him I think it's a great hire. I told him I think Josh will be coach of the year here soon. 

"Josh has attention to detail about all things. He's really creative. He has a good blend of old school and creativity."

Since joining the organization, McDaniels has gained an abundance of support from credible Raiders associates, but Seymour's is perhaps the most convincing yet.
