A day before Tom Brady announced his retirement from the NFL, his longtime offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels agreed to become the next head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders.

Raiders owner Mark Davis said when he met McDaniels on Saturday, he mentioned the famous "Tuck Rule" play that occurred during the 2001 AFC playoffs when Brady and the New England Patriots took down the Raiders and went on to win their first Super Bowl in franchise history.

"We met in the hallway as we were passing before the interview process was going to start," Davis said on Monday while introducing McDaniels as his new head coach. "I said ‘Hey’ and introduced myself and everything. He looked me in the eye and said, ‘There’s one thing. It was a fumble.’ So Raider Nation, if you’re worried, he’s already come over to the dark side."

Brady, who was in his second NFL season, took over for an injured Drew Bledsoe in Week 2. In that game, Brady was hit by Raiders cornerback Charles Woodson – who was Brady’s teammate at Michigan – and it appeared that Brady fumbled the football.
