Chicago must grin and bear it

By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010 at 2:08 pm in Oakland Raiders.

There are worse things than working for the Raiders.

Like the Bears, for instance.

Check out this column by Rick Morrissey of the Chicago Sun-Times, who can’t believe the Chicago Bears have sunk so low that Hue Jackson turned down a chance to interview to be the offensive coordinator of a team quarterbacked by Jay Cutler and instead went to work coaching JaMarcus Russell.

For all that’s gone wrong with the franchise in recent years, it’s good to know Al Davis still has the ability to close a deal.

Jackson has a monumental task in front of him. Getting Russell on the right path is only part of it. He has two other premium draft picks in Darren McFadden and Darrius Heyward-Bey who have fallen below expectations, Heyward-Bey admittedly only for a single rookie season.

There is plenty to sort out, and not just in terms of personnel. Considering Jackson said he spent most of his time talking to Davis, it’s clear he’s been handed the keys to the offense. Assuming Tom Cable remains on board, something the Raiders simply can’t bring themselves to say in the same way they did with Rob Ryan a year ago, the lines of responsibility must be clear.

Who decides to go for it on fourth-and-1? Is Cable in charge of clock management, or is Jackson?

Who breaks down practice reps for the offense and selects the starters?

Ordnarily, that’s the job of the head coach, with input from the offensive coordinator.

But these are the Raiders, and job descriptions and titles can be extremely vague. You’d think all this was sorted out during the interview process, but the Raiders don’t always operate that way. Davis gets the players and coaches he likes, puts them together, and figures they’ll work it out. Occasional conflict is a natural part of the process.

Considering the problems the Raiders had on offense last year, entrusting it to a new face, presumably one who can bring in some energy and enthusiasm, is a good thing.

However it works out, training camp just got a lot more interesting.

Heading over to San Francisco in awhile for a guest spot on “Chronicle Live,” unless they wise up find someone else . . .

    If Obama doesn’t get us to the playoffs, Al will doubtless fire him for cause.

    his name is Hue Jackson, you racist!

    LOL

  3. The Real MaddenRaider Says:

    LOL. Why do the Republicans in here always run for it when I ask them to name one Republican who can beat Obama? It’s proof of how bad of shape the Republican party is in, isn’t it? They’re relying on buyer’s remorse. They have no message. See “John Kerry, 2004 election” to find out how well that plan works…

  4. RaiderResurrection Says:

    Something tells me 7-9 next year…great (sarcasm)

  5. The Real MaddenRaider Says:

    7-9. LOL. You’re not talking about the Raiders, then. 5 wins tops, as long as Al’s alive.

  6. The Real MaddenRaider Says:

    Jerry, it’s because Al promised Jackson more, obviously. Jackson’s likely trying to pull a Kiffin on Al. Politic his way to the top, get the public to like him, expose Al to be a tyrant, and wind up at a place like USC.

  7. 408RAIDER Says:

    yeah nobody wants to work here huh Jerry?

  8. 4evaRaider Says:

    well if job descriptions and titles can be vague,why cant we just have a title of plain RB….no FB, no HB just RB

  9. RaiderResurrection Says:

    I see Gradkowski winning te open competition in Camp and Pre-Season. Offensive line will continue to be weak. Defensive line will continue to struggle. I see Chris Johnson being benched.

  10. Lucifer-666 Says:

    NINE!!!

  11. The Real MaddenRaider Says:

    Well, Jackson is not exactly a star. Truth is, nobody worth a crap wants to work here. Jerry likes to throw you guys a bone here and there to keep you coming back. Some no name choosing us over Chicago is not that much of an indictment on Chicago. Like I said, I think it’s more likely that Oakland is an easier place to politic. Jackson could be coming here just to bait Al and make himself look like a hero, trying to do his job while Al gets in the way.

  14. Chris in NY Says:

    Regarding Jackson picking the Raiders over the Bears, you could do a lot worse than the Raiders gig. Look at the opportunities Gruden (Super Bowl win), Callahan (HC at Nebraska), Norv Turner (took over a 14-2 Chargers team) and Kiffin (Tennessee & USC) received either right after or very shortly after leaving Oakland.

    Anyhow, Obama already destroyed Palin. She’s too stupid.

  19. RaiderResurrection Says:

    I think Sarah Palin and Scott Brown are what made me a Republican before.

    People like Mitt Romney, Michael Steele, Arlen Specter, and John McCain make me sick.

    By the way Arlen Specter was such a sleazy scum bag that he became a democrat.

    That’s why I’m Libertarian

    MR has a point. Ricky Brown beat Kirk Morrison in OTA’s, camp & preseason for the MLB “open competition”

    even with 1 arm they still gave Morrison the start against SD @ MLB.

    he destroyed McCain… many reps didn’t like JM (myself included)

    but I wasn’t crazy enough to vote for B.O.

    I saw a bumper sticker once that said “republicans for ob@ma” I starting laughing so hard I almost crashed. he’s about as liberal as you can get

    he destroyed McCain… (as in not Palin)

    …………

    Sure. Palin wasn’t even in the picture. Never mind that both Hannity and Anderson Cooper (you know, over on liberal CNN?) gave her an entire hour a piece just days before the election to rip Obama to shreds. Palin was given the grand stage. In the final week toward the election, she was the face of the McCain campaign. And America sent her ass back to Alaska.

  25. Raiders4eve Says:

    Actually Jerry raises a good point. What will Cable be in charge of? Ok we can say he will work with the line but whatelse is he going to do? For example Cowboys coach Wade Phillips he is in charge of the defense n allows Jason to run the offensive side of the ball, but both Cable n Jackson are offensive minded I don’t know how they can coexist. Good luck solving that puzzle

  26. RaiderResurrection Says:

    When Obama said he wouldn’t touch the second amendment, and pressed ahead with Rahm Emmanuel’s plan only to have Democrat congressional members turn him down because they all remember 1994. It gave me visions of Hitler.

  27. RaiderRockstar Says:

    if you don’t think Palin is popular you need a serious reality check.

    whether you like her or not is not whats up for debate…

  28. The Real MaddenRaider Says:

    A black man in America gives you visions of “Hitler”? I have visions of you smoking crack.

    January 27th, 2010 at 2:36 pm

    if you don’t think Palin is popular you need a serious reality check.

    ……………

    I’m basing my points on the facts that she was given the grand stage on CNN and FoxNews the week before the election. She became the face of the Mccain campaign, and America still said no, and voted Obama. What is she going to say in ‘12 that she didn’t say then? She accused him of being a terrorist! And Obama won, easily.

  30. RaiderResurrection Says:

    Well I can see Cable and his system in work. Cable and Jackson game planning together. And on game day Jackson being the “primary” play caller.

    Which mean Cable will make adjustments and input if necessary…

    Or Al Davis will call down from upstairs.

    No, because there is no possible reason any coach would choose to work with Russell over Cutler. I think that’s wishful thinking, on your part.

  39. Ghost to the Post Says:

    Then is it safe to say that Hue is truly enamored with Al Davis. And that he still is respected somewhat in and by the fraternity of coaches?

  40. Pretty Rick Says:

    Being that we’ve been terrible since Cable took over as head coach, any improvements made by the Raiders will obviously be the result of Hue Jackson, because Cable has already proven he just cant bring out the best in his players. So if the team shows signs of getting better but still finish with a losing record,Cable probably will not have is contract renewed. I think we really better pay attention to Hue Jackson because he’s probably our next head coach.

    ……………….

    You need to stop listening to Rush Limbaugh, and perhaps stop smoking crystal meth while you’re at it. Obama the president is more conservative than Obama the candidate. He actually ran as a liberal…that’s why those rednecks were yelling “kill him” at Palin rallies. And, today, he’s governing more as a centrist. The corporate bailouts, the war…the only liberal thing he’s even pushed for his health care, and backed down from it at the first whim of it failing. Only some in congress are pushing for it now. Those a.m. radio shows rot your brain. Try gathering the facts instead, so in the future you’ll know what you’re talking about. Just a pointer.

  42. La Milicia Negra Says:

    Funny that a president that had up to a 70% percent approval rating fell below 50% (as of last week 43%)

    Seems last time you ran this, and offered up a bet, I took you up on that, for $100.00..of which you promptly backed out of the bet, claiming excessive X chromosomes guarantees you the right to change your mind, at will.

    Now you’re back on it..so..the bet back on?
    Wait..didn’t you also state you reserved the right to NOT pay if you lost?

    Never mind

  48. The Real MaddenRaider Says:

    Obama has really been more of a neo conservative. Bush, but basically with a different rhetoric. Corporate bailouts, more war, he backed down from health care about as fast as he pushed for it. More liberal than Kennedy and Pelosi? Take some ritalin for that ADD, bud.

  49. La Milicia Negra Says:

    Palin will win, she knows so much that Saddam was behind the 9-11, she will handle foreign business well because she lived so close to russia… and what not.. shes brightest star on the republican sky =)

    I just said mark my words, Richochet. Didn’t offer a bet. Do you not think Russell’ going to start?

    …………………………………

    Wow, if the nation honestly thinks this, then the President’s brain washing is sure working. I feel sorry for you.

    Understand that the Federal government brought this nation to financial ruin and you want it to fix to problem.

    Also what’s the definition of Conservative? Is it Universal Healthcare? Is it a new Assault Weapons ban? Is it the Patriot Act? Is it the Censoring of our basic American Rights? Is it the increase of government spending?

    Conservatism has always been less spending and less government. (Not to be confused with the mindless blabber the Republican hypocrits put out)

  54. The Real MaddenRaider Says:

    Got to run, guys. Hey, props to some of you for actually naming a couple of Republicans who you think can beat Obama. It’s more than I can say for blabberouths like Dakota and Mistabr0wn who turn the conversation to politics in here every day (as Dakota did today. Scroll back on the previous thread to see for yourself), insisting that Obama’s done, yet can’t answer that simple question. Of course, your guys’ candidates were jokes, but at least you named them. Got my respect. Later.

  56. The Real MaddenRaider Says:

    Reurrection, good points. I meant that Obama is more of neo conservative (spends money, mostly on the rich) than a conservative. We haven’t had a conservative president in probably over a century. Late.

    Jackson, who played quarterback at the University of the Pacific in the mid-1980s, has coached quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers, working closely with talents such as Carson Palmer in college and with such personalities as Michael Vick, Chad Ochocinco and T.J. Houshmandzadeh in the NFL.

    That Jackson is an African-American who played when black quarterbacks were a novelty likely won’t hurt his chances to bond with Russell, who by all accounts was adversely affected by the deaths of two close uncles last year.

    I won’t vote for a Republican until they fix their problems.

    I’d rather vote for a Democrat (a blue dog like good old Zell Miller from Georgia) than a Republican like McCain anyday.

  71. RaiderResurrection Says:

    Funny how people want to jump into a Democrat or a Republican label.

    Last Republican to do things right: Ronald Reagan

    Last Democrat to do things right: John Kennedy (It would’ve been Clinton had it not been to increased taxes and 94 Assault Weapns ban)

    Both Labels are weak and promote federal government.

    Someone tell me why a Politician like Nancy Pelosi, John McCain, etc want a STRONG Federal government?

    Its called Power, Why would a supposed Democracy want to have politicians to have power?

    Sounds like Corruption on both sides by special interests (i.e. banks and oil companies)

    We need to do away with special interests.

    Bush was one of seven directors of the Union Banking Corporation, an investment bank controlled by the Thyssen family, which was seized in October 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act as being owned by “enemy aliens.” The assets were held by the government for the duration of the war, then returned afterward.
    In an article relying on conspiracy theorist John Buchanan’s work, The Guardian stated that the company formed part of a multinational network of front companies to allow Thyssen to move assets around the world.[8] The Alien Property Custodian records state “Whether all or part of the funds held by Union Banking Corporation, or companies associated with it, belong to Fritz Thyssen could not be established in this investigation.” [9] The seizure of companies under the Act were designated “classified” and declassified in 2002 when all similar records were declassified.[10][11][12][13]

    I have heard often and vehemently that no coach worth his salt would come and work for the Raiders n coach with options worth anything would chose the Raiders only coaches with no where to go or on their way somewhere else would come here.

    We have also heard often that players would rather play anywhere else but here. After Richard Seymour came the media said he would neve stay. He says he wants to cme back. But Jerry insist he doesn’t want to it’s his only option. Now Hue Jackson wants to come here instead of with another team even the team he was with which was a playoff team. he left to come here.

    So who’s LYING??? your eyes or the media. Jerry wants everyone to believe it is insufferable here but we keep getting great coaches to come here. Who’s Lying your eyes or Jerry?

    Hue obviously knows that he has to work with Russell and has signed on to do it. Now who’s crazy? is Russell unsalvagable or is it that Hue doesn’t know what he doing either?

    Stay tuned!!!!

    Reagan set Clinton up with hugh war chest, Clinton, Dem’s, gave it away, as I recall, no?
    =============================================

    lst off, George I followed Reagan not Clinton. 2ndly, Reagan ran up the biggest deficits EVER seen on the planet, until George I surpassed it! And there is a reason for this. The Republicans spend just like the Demo’s only they cut taxes which means money has to be borrowed to balance the budget. When you borrow that much money, interest rates have to go up, which benefits the big banking establishments, and a larger portion of Federal revenues go to paying that debt and not solving issues such as health care, education etc. Clinton got in and balanced those revenue issues, at which point, George II, taking the blueprint from his dad and Reagan, reversed all that. Those are the facts.

Hopefully Davis realizes that you have to give these kids competent coaching…now whether he can help JaDavis is an entirely different issue.

    Eventually the son of an ex-CIA chief is given the reins to the nation through no adequacies of his own (nor backing by the voting populace).

    One day, with his collusion or the flamboyance of his ignorance, the son of the ex-CIA chief finds New York blown down.

    So, many score and some years after the extermination of the Indian Nations a single political party is given everything it wants to push through and accomplish by a despicable act. (No, not the Supreme Court declaring Dubya prez, the trade center stuff. Well both.)

    Along comes a career politician after the sonuvaspook has ruined everything who then declares “Change”.

    Al Davis:

    Lowest attendance in the NFL.
    2nd least valuable franchise in NFL.

    In the last 7 years:

    5 Head Coaches,
    8 Starting QB’s.
    1 General Manager, Al Davis

    Since Free Agency:

    6 winning seasons in the last 20.
    3 winning seasons in the last 15.

    Not sure Priesttj,

    Most head coaches get to pick their assistants…not clear Cable has that authority…also its known that Davis sets the defensive framework.

    Don’t put your head in the sand and pretend that Davis doesn’t have heavy influence.

    While Jackson is a good hire, there is a reason why the top tier candidates will not consider the Raiders

    After calling your cut and paste ass out yesterday, you yammered on about how you had posted the exact same comments all week long, and that EVERYONE knew that you were a plagiarizing tool.

    Apparently everyone didn’t know that you routinely troll other boards, copy other writers comments, and paste them here as your own.

    don’t you think you should include a disclaimer that says something on the line of “While being incapable of original thought, I am capable of copying someone else’s, and wish to share them here, giving full credit where full credit is due.”

    Or just change your name to the one coined at the beginning of this comment..should do the trick.

  270. buckeyeraider Says:

    Hello Raider O,
    Like your mock draft.Love to see Al draft McClain rd 1. Run defense must be improved. I wouldn’t mind Mt Cody in Rd 2,but that guard from Idaho is supposed to be dominating Senior bowl practices. The OL needs almost as much attention as the run D. I agree with Colorado, If McCluster were there in Rd3, he’d be tough to pass up. He reminds me of Sproles. The Return game definitely took a step back last year. Tough to fix all the Raiders woes in one draft. Oh yea..Legalize it.

  271. 860Todd Christensen Says:

    Mr President, you have Not addressed putting people back to work, wake up sir!

  272. ColoradoRaiderFan Says:

    Biden reminds me of the Steinbrenner character on Seinfeld. He’s probably thinking…

    “Heartbreaker, chubwanker, studabaker don’t you run all over me…”

  273. buckeyeraider Says:

    If McCluster is not available, Gilyard out of the Univ. of Cincinnati might not be a bad option in the middle rounds. The raiders don’t really need more young receivers, but he’s an excellent kick returner. Anything would beat a backup fullback struggling to return kickoffs to the fifteen yardline.

    - Investing in small businesses.
    - Real energy independence (i.e. energy diversity and expansion of clean technologies and not just “drill baby drill”).
    - Bipartisanship.

    Either you know something nobody else knows or you know nothing at all..

    Im thinking the latter but I’ll give you a chance. You know health reform is dead right? Or have you been asleep for 3 weeks? And the reason its dead is because 0bama & Peelosi reached too far left.

  285. buckeyeraider Says:

    Chris in NY,
    Amen to that. You know what kills me about Republicans. Especially the talking heads on FOX NOISE. They get mad when Obama talks about the economy he inherited, or the two wars he inherited. One year into his term and they’re yelling “when is he going to quit blaming everything on Bush?” Jeezuz H. Christ. That’s all the Bush people did for eight years. The recession started in the last quarter of Clinton’s presidency. The housing bubble started during the Clinton presidency. NAFTA was Clinton’s Baby. 9/11 was all Clinton’s fault, for his response to the USS Cole bombing,etc,etc. Total hypocrisy.

    Sure buddy.

    Obama was mostly talking about things he hopes to accomplish and hopes for congress to accomplish in the coming year, so of course he hasn’t done those things yet.

    As for 2009, he had to deal with the do-nothing Republicans. Their act was on full display tonight. They’re doing their best to be the dead weight that pulls down Obama and the Democratic majority. If that dead weight also drags down millions of Americans, oh well. They’ll be ignorant enough to vote us in next time.

    Grin and bear what. The Bears organization is the cheapest in the entire NFL. They disbanded the 85 team that Bill Walsh claimed might have been able to win another Super Bowl or two because they were to cheap to pay the players and let them go to other teams.

    Minus the caveman days and the 85 team the Bears have been bottom feeders in the NFL for decades. Also Chicago next to the Bay Area is like holding up a hunk of #%$ next to a steak.

    I lived in that hell hole for many a year and there is nothing you can tell me about that City. Fullerton and Clark is a long way from Napa, a long long way.

    So now to try and save some face they try and knock Jackson and who he is as a coach. Just shows how little they know about football, Chicago lost a good one when Jackson decided to sign with the Raiders.

    There is nothing lower than the Chicago Bears or the organization and they could not carry the Raiders jock straps.
