Raiders give 49ers OK to talk to Jackson
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Tuesday, January 4th, 2011 at 1:10 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders have given the 49ers the OK to talk to offensive coordinator Hue Jackson about their head coaching position, according to a team executive.
“The 49ers asked and Al said yes,” senior executive John Herrera said. “He’s happy for Hue.’

Hip Hip Hue-Away!
January 4th, 2011 at 1:13 pm
49ers want Jackson? Meet the new Raiders’ head coach, folks. Hue Jackson.
January 4th, 2011 at 1:14 pm
Why aren’t the 49ers interested in Cable? Why isn’t ANYONE interested in Cable? Are they just stupid? Don’t they see what he’s done for the Raiders? Or…do they know something we don’t? Like that maybe Cable had very little to do with the Raiders improvement? No way! They’re stupid! Stupid idiots!!!!
January 4th, 2011 at 1:15 pm
They have no intention of signing Hue. It is a ploy to satisfy the rooney rule without flying a guy in.
January 4th, 2011 at 1:16 pm
Most interesting tidbit of the just concluded chat:
If you missed it, someone said to Jerry they heard a Greg Papa interview on the radio where he was talking up Harbaugh endlessly and didn’t seem to think much of Cable. Jerry responded “Papa has the ear of the owner. Listen between the lines.”
My speculation: Al’s gonna go full tilt after Harbaugh these next two weeks til January 18th and if he fails to get land him (and I’m about 99.9 percent sure he won’t), he’ll make his decision between Cable and Jackson.
My guess: Jackson is announced as the Raiders’ head coach on January 19th.

This clearly a bad sign allowing “The Answer” to all our troubles, walk right out the door.

Brown Bomber,
when did we sign Allen Iverson?
He lead Bethel High School (Hampton, Virginia) to state championship playing QB.
He came into the defensive secondary as needed, as well as returned kickoffs and punts. Also a track star there!
I’m pretty sure he’d be better than Bruce Gradkowski …

Cable is under contract for 2 more weeks.

Maybe Hue Jackson would like to Coach Andrew Luck in Carolina.

January 4th, 2011 at 1:20 pm
Theoretical question for youse. Would you take farve for a year, next year, if he was healthy? I think he might just want to play one more season. I would take him over campbell for sure. If he was healthy that is.

Hue Jax would wet himself if Cleveland called and told him drafting a QB was out of the question …

NMD,
Johnnie Lee Higgins has more value than Brett Favre in Oakland …
January 4th, 2011 at 1:22 pm
HuJack’s production this last year as an OC had a lot of flaws. He certainly has a lot more to learn and improve upon as the OC. He would not survive as a HC under AD. They both have strong personalities and no doubt would clash. That’s where Cable comes in. He can effectively buffer AD from HJ and can take AD criticism without blinking an eye. Right now, it’s a good marriage for all parties concerned. AD can continue running the show overall, HJ can control the day to day offense and Cable keeps all the combatants in their respective corners without anybody’s feelings getting hurt. Additionally, it appears that Cable has the support of the team and assumes the roll of head cheerleader. All thing things bode well for continued improvement going forward. Nobody is going to offer HuJack a HC job at this point in time. So, we should just keep things as is and make the upgrades and acquisitions necessary to continue our path to the playoffs and eventual SB.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Idiotic post of the day!! Hugh Jackson walked in the door and doubled our offensive output. And he did it despite subpar talent at QB and WR. The guy evaluated our talent and designed an offense that played to our strenghts with great success. Couple that with the fact that he’s credited with the development of Joe Flacco and it’s no wonder he’s in demand. Have you seen the guy’s quotes or seen him interviewed? I’m keeping my fingers crossed that he doesn’t get an offer and accept. If you don’t think other teams didn’t take
notice of the job he’s done, you’re dumb as a rock. Hue is legit.
January 4th, 2011 at 1:33 pm
the 49ers also asked n.y. giants dc perry fewell for an interview.he`s black so theres your rooney rule.hue jackson is a real player on the niners search

January 4th, 2011 at 1:36 pm
Al’s going to wait till the last minute to make a decision. By that point. Hue will be gone and Cable will be the only guy left to take the job. This is okay with me since the players seem to respond to him, but they will definitly have to get a top notch OC with 100% play calling and the same style of offense as Hue to keep the momentum going.
The JaMarcus years are throw aways and shouldnt be counted against Cable. No one could improve with that QB.
Consider this his first real year and its not a bad start. I’d try and keep it all intact and add some improvments on the right side o-line, receivers, and secondary.
January 4th, 2011 at 1:37 pm
Man I can’t wait for Al to Fire Cable and hire another new coach that has no idea how to deal with Al or the players. Can’t wait for him to hire another Norv, Bugel, or Kiffin. That would take us from 8-8 to 12-4 with homefield advantage in the playoffs.
January 4th, 2011 at 1:37 pm
I will bet you dollars to dohnuts that hue is not signed in SF. They are going to go with the big splashy hire. not saying Hue would not be a good hire for them. he is legit and will get pther opportunities to interview for HC jobs unless Al promotes him. He could very well wind up in carolina. I hope Al finds a way to keep him one way or the other. he has more value than Cable IMO…
January 4th, 2011 at 1:38 pm
Most coaches are sitting tight. This is good news for things to stay the same. It also lends more creedence to to the lockout,
SF wont hire Hue unless he really really wows them.
Lots of good coaches out there. I think Gruden and Cowher were looking for some excellent oppurtunities but the odds are dropping by the hour.
I would rather see Harbourgh got to SF then dungver.
January 4th, 2011 at 1:39 pm
McDaniels could backfill for HuJack if necessary. I don’t think HuJack is going anywhere. York is just screwing with AD. Niners go with an experienced HC if the can’t get Harbaugh. No more newbies for them. Singletary was enough.
January 4th, 2011 at 1:40 pm
if hue jackson goes so does the 25pts a game avg with him.cable trying the convert hues playbook with zbs.not a good mix.
January 4th, 2011 at 1:40 pm
Speaking of Brett, what are the odds of Al siging him next year?
January 4th, 2011 at 1:41 pm
STOP THE INSANITY!
If Al was such a football ‘genious’ why did it take him 7 years of blundering through season after season to get where we are now? Coaching and his woody for big ‘me’ names. No radical changes will help this team. You ever been in a locker room when a new coach comes in and starts his yap on how this is gonna be blah blah blah. Thats what it sounds like.
Finally, we have a bit of consistency, something players cherish, need, and all this talk of letting Cable or Hue go is nuts. Just upgrade a couple of key spots (the lines i.e.) and we are good to battle.
Those 5 ints. gannon threw really must put Al in a funk, because this season finally erased that in my mind. If Al has any gray matter left in that skull of his, he’ll ink his coaches asap and let them get to right work. Quit playing games Al. You got a good thing underway here, finally.
Another point: no bona fide coach is coming to Oakland. Ask yourself one serious question: Why would they? One thing for sure you can bank, Al won’t pay anything above the minimum for a HC.
I don’t beleive a work out of hererras pie hole.
January 4th, 2011 at 1:42 pm
Gumby has some moves for sure. I especially like the one where he catches a punt and runs sideways out of bounds. He is hands down the finest east – west sideways runner I have ever seen. And who could forget the masterful o.b. method he displayed on Kickoffs……
January 4th, 2011 at 1:43 pm
If the raiders want to keep half of there free agents, they have to keep cable. I could see miller and huff leaving, even bush. Even though Jackson has done some good things i think losing him wouldnt be as harsh as losing some key players on the raiders.

Huh??? JR only started 21 games under Cable. And his play during the last 6 games of 2008 got him the permanent job! Maybe Cable should have tried harder to retain Greg Knapp and John DeFillipo. The punk already used JR as a scapegoat last year. For once during his tenure here, it’s time for him to be accountable.

January 4th, 2011 at 1:48 pm
If Hue leaves Al will find a young fiery get in your face type to run Hues/Raider playbook for the offence.
The O will be running the sam playbook for the second year and will execute much better
Marshall made great strides running Als D for him.
They got along and we all know how important that is.
Just need a key player or two.
But Cable keep things running smooth. Sure he made mistakes but he is learning as well. I cant wait for next year especially if we keep the same coaches excepty for a WR coach and maybe a conditioning coach
Whats Romo doing?

No way Al gets in a bidding war for a coach with no head coaching experiance. Thanks about that
AL will not pay top dollar for a head coach no matter how much some of you want him to.

The more coaches and players the Raiders let go from this season, a piece of the momentum and learning curve from this season goes too.

++++++++++++++++
Only way I see Cable staying is if he relents on the option and makes it just a one year deal. Then Al can keep the HC through the lockout year and not take a chance at paying a real NFL HC more money for a potential lockout season. No way Al is committing $5 million and two years to Cable…Mr. 28-62 has done nothing to deserve that kind of deal.
Or, maybe Al knows there will be no football in 2011 and we won’t have a coach at all???? Save big bucks right there. Let the entire coaching staff go.

I can’t stand Al Davis, but I don’t think that is quite true. I think Kiffin had a lot of input in hiring the ST coach, RB coach, o-line coach and OC. There were reports of Kiffin meeting with those guys shortly after he got the job…..but he was stuck with Ryan because Ryan was already under contract.
January 4th, 2011 at 2:01 pm
I don’t think Al hires push over, but I do think that he makes it clear to them, who is staying on the staff and who can be replaced if necessary. Don’t you guys remimber the Kiffin scandal. Al explained that he told kiffin, who’s job was safe and off limits for him to replace. Al shos loyality to those who have been loyal to him.
If Hue doesn’t come back, we will have another lost season because Cambell will be in his 6 offensve system.

Wouldn’t that be something if gruden were across the bay? I really beleive that would haunt Al. He’d probably lose sleep over that. In a way I feel gruden will never coach again because his heart is in Oakland.
He would coach in Oakland, but nowhere else.

I agree with Cable staying for a one year contract and thats how Al will work it unless Tom gets a better paying coaching job offer.
I think Al is still putting the pieces together for a SB run. He is not too worried about hiring a big dollar coach right now. Maybe next year when he finds a SB caliber QB
January 4th, 2011 at 2:05 pm
This was a good year. Hopefully next year will be even better. I’d be happy if all 4 major coaches come back, Cable, Jackson, the DC and Special Teams coach. They all deserve to stay on.
Hopefully have a smart draft, bring in a rookie QB let him seriously compete for the roster… I always dream of a late rounds wonder boy like Tom Brady…

Gruden was the perfect fit for Oakland. Had the look, had the attitude, had balls enough to get things done, was smart enough to handle Davis as well as anyone could have with the help of Bruce Allen, was an offense oriented guy.
Too perfect of a match….Al could see that the nation loved him. The king felt threatened, so he excommunicated him…and it cost us all a SB.
Too bad Al didn’t let Gruden leave for the ND job….ND would have been back on the map and Al would have had SB ring #4.

Helluva call. Makes a lot of sense in connecting the dots.
Nothing against Cable, but I think Harbaugh is going to win championships — be it in college or the pros — within the next 5 years.
January 4th, 2011 at 2:09 pm
DRH,
All is well brother. Good to be back in my own place after 3 weeks out West. SF has a ton of talent and just need a solid QB and coach to lead them. Gruden will not need to do much to get them winning again and you know the local media will throw it in our face every frickin day. Yeah, they can have Hue all they want. Hue is overrated anyways. DMAC, ST, and Defense have made both Hue and JC looked alot better than they really are.
Gruden once said that the best asset of an offensive coach is how they adjust at halftime. Can we claim that Hue has made great halftime adjustments this year? NO!!!!

Why would anyone come to Oakland for a pay cut? Harbaugh is doin just fine at Stanford. Why would he ever leave?
It looked like Al shook off some of the crust this year, with a good draft. He needs to remind himself of that, and not get to hasty like he’s done in the past.
January 4th, 2011 at 2:19 pm
I wish the rest of the league would just start signing lousy puppet coaches, bringing in quarterbacks with nothing more than an arm, and use man defense all of the time. Then Al Davis could be “unique” by bringing in QB with pocket awareness and a brain, a real head coach who will build an empire, and a versatile defense that can adapt to any offense.
January 4th, 2011 at 2:20 pm
At the end of the day, the old man had one heck of a draft this year. The last 2 years have been awesome. DHB was a mistake but the other guys more than make up for it.
January 4th, 2011 at 2:21 pm
They don’t make up for it because if we’d drafted Crabtree instead of Bey, the Raiders would be a playoff team this year. Having a possession receiver would fill a huge void on our offense.

Al needs to retire. But sense nobody can fire him, all we can do is blame our head coach for not standing up to him. That’s why Cable needs to go.

Al Davis is a cancer. Basically, our head coach needs to work as chemo treatment. He has to try as hard as he can to get rid of the cancer. Otherwise, the cancer prevails.

By declaring they will pick Luck, it’s guranteed [he] will stay at Stanford one more year.

He could even stay there two years.
Just watched the VA. T. again.
Luck is something special and he clearly has a close rapport with Harbaugh.
There was a time when Al Davis was know for pulling off amazing things.
They called Al the “genius” long before that was applied to Bill Walsh.
Here’s your chance to leave ‘em with their mouths open one more time Al!
You want Harbaugh? Get Harbough!
Or is John York greater than Al Davis?
I’ve got a strong feeling that if you get Harbaugh, your chances dramatically improve on getting Luck even if it isn’t this year.

Al’s shills like to justify first round picks with their spotty success. First round picks are supposed to be ass kickers, period. Or their first round pick could have been used on someone else. Hence, they’re a bust.

Wouldn’t that be something if gruden were across the bay? I really beleive that would haunt Al. He’d probably lose sleep over that. In a way I feel gruden will never coach again because his heart is in Oakland.
He would coach in Oakland, but nowhere else.

the above comment is so ignorant, it’s hard to take it seriously.
You just can’t be this stupid, can you?
Might be news to you, but he actually did coach somewhere else. Kind of did ok there.

Really??? Who’s the ignorant one? 2 first rounders 2 second rounders and 8 Million for a coach. That was the steal of the century. If they wouldn’t have drafted so lousy they’d be talking about that for the next 100 years. That is 8 players in the first 2 rounds. Should be 8 starters. No one in their right mind could ve ever passed that up.
Gruden wouldve been in the same boat. The reason Oakland went into the tank is cause they were old. Al needed those draft picks to rebuild. He made the absolute right move but blew it in the draft. Cannot fault al for that chess move. It was the way to go.

Publicly Gruden only says nice things about the Raiders….it is the smart way to go…he is a politically astute guy….but what does he say behind closed doors?
Sean Peyton gave us a glimpse of what Gruden really thinks about the Raiders when he stated in his book the Gruden was one of the people (along with Parcells, Callahan and John Fox) that steered him away from the Oakland job. That tells you what you need to know about what Gruden thinks of Al Davis and the Raiders.
Al was close to landing Sean Peyton….Al has an eye for young coaching talent….yet you guys want to keep treading water with Mr. 28-62? LMAO
January 4th, 2011 at 3:03 pm
Mike Mitchell contributed plenty this year against Gates and other TE’s. Shonasty contributed mightily on the DLine. Undrafted FA Nick Miller and Desmond Bryant also contributed. Murphy has regressed some but shown enough potential in his first 2 years.
So yeah, I consider 2009 to be a good draft and 2010 to be a great draft. All the young guys contributed plenty to our wins this year.

I hope I am wrong and suddenly Cable becomes a decent HC. He never will, but I guess you guys can keep treading water and giving out bursts of positive vibes in the hope that it somehow transforms Mr. 28-62 into something he is not….a winner.
I’ll keep hoping Al suddenly understands the importance of coaching and hires a guy that can get the job done. He hired Gruden, Shanny, and almost had Peyton. Al can find them. Our only hope of actually making this team into a playoff contender is to dump Cable.
At the end of the day Cable will be gone and will be considered a failure here, and everyone that has his back right now will turn on him, just like you guys always do.

Who is the fastest player in the draft this year.

January 4th, 2011 at 3:59 pm
McClain is such an anti-Davis pick, that I can’t imagine Davis had as much influence over last year’s first couple rounds as he usually does.
A MLB with average speed whose biggest sell is his smarts?
From a guy that doesn’t draft LBers very high? Unless they run blazing 40s like Thomas Howard.
And a high motor run-stuffing undersized DT or big DE in the 2nd round? Get out of here.
You think Davis really put in countless hours of film study on all these college kids and filtered out the ones we drafted?
January 4th, 2011 at 4:00 pm
Not even Al is insane enough to let the only guy who could stop the humiliation of the last decade just walk. Only to hire another ‘ladder climber’ (ala Calahan, Kiffin) who will be gone in 2 years guaranteed to a tier 1 College program when he is fired for cause or non-performance. When that happens, Al’s back to square one – yet again.
Firstly, there is *no way* Hue Jackson gets a HC job offer this year – he’s simply not qualified enough. He will be interviewed and he rightly should be – but there are only 4 positions currently open anyway and there are many more qualified candidates than a guy with only 3 years OC experience. If *somehow* he’s able to swing his way into an offer (maybe the Niners because they are that stupid), Al should just calmly let him walk and just replace him with one of the dozens of good OC candidates out there. The offense is generally in place and having to replace him is not that big of a deal.
Besides, everyone says Hue is the difference for the ‘turn around’ – the real difference is not having to play JaFatAss at QB, McFadden finally playing up to his ability, some decent Oline play, and Ford and Reece coming out of nowhere and being the playmakers that we haven’t had since the ‘02 season. It’s not like Hue’s ’system’ is so special that he is irreplaceable. Frankly, I think he’s a bit overrated and he is getting way too much credit.
His name is all over the news as the savior of the Raiders.
And we know how much Al hates that…
Safest bet is the entire staff is back next season. Even Marshall as he is one of Al’s guys. Al most likely thinks we’re 3-4 players away from a SB run so don’t screw things up at this point by taking a risky chance with a new HC that could blow up just as easily as not.
At least I hope he thinks that..
January 4th, 2011 at 4:01 pm

I’m pretty sure the Steelers would laugh at any playoff team offering them 2 1st and 2 2nd round picks for their coach.
Especially when the draft is a 50-50 thing for most teams.
Someone posted it was a “steal”? With Al drafting? 4 extra players and some $? lol.

EnglandRaider,
exactly what impressive wins did we have this year outside of our division?
I can tell you a couple of blowouts.
I’ll wait.
=======================================================
Yeah, I’ll bet you do a lot of waiting.
“Impressive wins”? How about two days ago?
I don’t recall, anyway, saying anything about “impressive wins”.
I just said that I think we’ll win more than eight games next year. And that’s not exactly going out on a limb.
January 4th, 2011 at 4:10 pm
Hill,
I would pay some good $ to find out who made those picks last year.
I’m guessing there was more input from the scouts that actually went and WATCHED Veldheer and Houston play.
No joke, it was documented Davis asked his scouts before one draft who the hardest hitting safety was.
“Derrick Gibson,” they said, “but he can’t cover.”
And there he was.

schaffter had a deadline to make so he chose this perennial topic by cleverly saying cable is “unlikely to return”.. which he got from herrera who answered schafters’ phone question about al by saying “mr davis is gone for the day, and is unlikely to return”! so schafter asks to speak to cable and herera says he is out of the office and is probably not coming back..so ,,,,,,,

ESPN writers never need a source, or even waste the time making calls, in most cases.
They just write whatever seems possible, even remotely, and claim “source” or “unlikely”, or “probably”.
Ever notice how the story very rarely matches up with the headline? just to make ya click on the link, or read the first paragraph. Journalism at it’s worst

Sorry England, but KC is not outside our division.
Nothing that happened this year tells me we’re magically going to go roll on the Patriots, Packers, Jets, or Bears.
I enjoy the Raiders, but wishful sloppy thinking like that turns into “Coach ______ couldn’t win 11 games in 2011??? Fire him!” nonsense.

January 4th, 2011 at 4:17 pm
The ESPN report that Cable won’t likely be back next year that was so *conveniently leaked* right before the Chiefs game on Sunday – it was not a coincidence. It wreaks of Al manipulating the media for his own gain… getting it on the news wire and seeing if the team was willing to step it up for Cable knowing his job was on the line. They did in a big way and you know Al is smiling (gum smiling with drool) ear to ear. They went undefeated in the AFC west – the most hated teams in Al’s psyche. Not only that – they blew out every team. Sure, they didn’t make the playoffs, but even Al knows this is not a SB team, not yet anyway. Getting out of the 7 year cellar, while literally beating up the division (and softening KC for getting blown out on Sat – which will be a laugher) is enough to stay the course.
Stabilize the Oline, get a real #1 WR, get the OLB situation taken care of and they will be a playoff team next year (assuming McFadden can stay healthy, which is a big if). If we can do the same kind of damage to the division we did this year and win 3-4 of those close games outside the division, get a bye – things could get interesting in the playoffs when the Jets/Ravens/Steelers/Patriots/Colts have to come out West to the black hole.
Go Raiders!

appearing inept, clueless, and a day late isn’t a ringing endorsement.
in past years, as other solid coaches were snatched up, Al played the “i love the attention’ card, only to be stuck with few viable options.

we traded Gruden for P. Buchanon, Tyler Brayton, Langston Walker, and Teyo Johnson.

At the time, those were pretty good picks
Buchanon was a top corner at Miami.
Tyler Brayton should still be here. We chose Sapp over him, which is ridiculous.
Langston Walker was decent.

January 4th, 2011 at 4:26 pm
Every pick looks decent at the time.
It’s what you really know about them that matters.
Buchanon = zone corner with great speed, but little physicality to play bump and run.
Brayton = nice sized 3-4 DE. Ehhh.
(Sapp had a Pro Bowl season for us)
Walker = drafted 2 rounds ahead of production, because he’s really big.

Didn’t your NFL.com video show Ford running a crossing route to the sideline? Didn’t JC throw off of his back foot since BOTH OTs got beat by the DE’s, lol?
How about this from Jerry’s post???
Here was Campbell’s explanation of the final drive against Jacksonville, which ended with a short completion to Jacoby Ford as time expired.
“I think we just ran out of time,’’ Campbell said. “The third down play, we were trying to get a call in and had to switch it really quick to try and get the first (down).
“We were trying to get a play where we could try and get a double move and get into the end zone. But things happen and we had to take a time out. Then on the last play, we were trying to get Jacoby to where he could catch the ball and go out of bounds. But I was throwing off my back foot so I really couldn’t get into what I wanted.

Lewis and Brown didn’t reveal much. They even chose not to tell reporters how long Lewis’ contract was for. Someone forgot to tell the guys that Bengals.com already reported it was a two-year deal.

I’m just always intrigued by the “why.”
Just honestly intrigued what you have seen in JC’s career, or Cable’s, or this defense’s, or our WRs, to think we can suddenly start playing with the big dogs.
Especially being blown out in the last 24 months by the Giants, Patriots, Jets, Steelers, and Titans.

If Hue stays, I wouldn’t mind OchoCinco coming here. When Hue was around, OchoCinco still looked like he could be star on the field, instead of the star of a reality TV show.
Then again, his personality might be a little too big for the locker room. He tends to take it upon himself to be a major pain in the a** on a yearly basis.
January 4th, 2011 at 4:37 pm
the only half-reason I hear is some “continuity” myth that I’m not sure exists for average QBs.
So, just looking at in honestly, it just sounds like fan-talk and nothing logical.
January 4th, 2011 at 4:37 pm
I still would love to see what Sean Payton and Gregg Williams could do with this personnel.
January 4th, 2011 at 4:39 pm
I think continuity really only applies to keeping Hue as the OC. There’s no guarantee of continuity if he takes on the duties of the HC as well. But for an offense with as many young pieces as the Raiders have, I would love to see what they could do with a second year in the same offensive system.
January 4th, 2011 at 4:43 pm
YA,
will the running game really IMPROVE from #2 in the league?
Or will they likely decline playing real D’s like Chicago’s, NE’s, Jets’, Vikings, and Dolphins again?
As for the WRs, I guess there might be an uptick if Ford and Schilens start all year, but with JC and his career-high 20 TDs and penchant for checking down, and harder schedule, I don’t think it will be that high.
January 4th, 2011 at 4:44 pm
Just honestly curious what some fans see that makes them think we’ll start playing big-boy football next year,
when we’ve been BLOWN OUT by virtually EVERY single big-boy team this year, last year, and the year before.
January 4th, 2011 at 4:49 pm
Well, that’s what having a young, improving team is about isn’t it? Isn’t that what the offseason is for?
There’s never a guarantee that a team is going to get dramatically better. But if in the offseason they keep their key players, add a few more solid pieces, and the young guys continue to learn the game, there’s definitely reason to be optimistic.
If you think they sucked this year, sucked the years before, and will suck next year, then maybe you should follow a different NFL team.
January 4th, 2011 at 4:50 pm
My reasoning is I am a Raider fan. I always think they will get better and win. I think we will go to the SB again. I stick behind Al the 53 men on the team.
I think Cable has done a very good job
I think JC can play better
I think our defense will improve.
I could care less about the hows and whys.
No matter what I think or feel, Al picks the players
Al picks the coaches, Al picks the scheme.
Im an Al guy, I swing from his sack screaming
WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR BILCHES

Fire Tom Cable? That’s bad footballWhy Al Davis will set the Raiders back–again. Matt Bowen
Print This Send This January 03, 2011, 03:00 PM EST .10 Comments .
Who is with me today when we talk Tom Cable and the Raiders? Because no matter how you spin it when it comes to the future of this franchise, the idea of firing the Oakland head coach is plain and simple bad football.
That is the best way I can say it. We are talking about a coach that has Oakland playing competitive football again. A team that has a physical style on both sides of the ball that just swept the AFC West this season. A 6-0 mark in divisional games—which is extremely hard to do in today’s NFL. Cable did that as well as turn this bottom feeder into a team that can win on Sundays.
ICON
Al Davis can make another questionable move by firing head coach Tom Cable.
I agree that 8-8 is, well, 8-8. It isn’t time to throw parades in Oakland because they have moved on from a team that players in this league used to laugh at—and ignore—when it came time to pick a new home in free agency. No one wanted to play in Oakland back during my career. And that is the honest truth; because they knew it was going to involve change and possibly starting over from year to year.
More importantly, playing in Oakland didn’t add up to winning. And no one wanted to pay the price of preparing for Sundays only to come up short time after time. Players went there for the money—and that’s it.
However, I see a coach in Cable who can change that. This team has somewhat taken on his own personality. They aren’t as easy win on Sunday anymore, and from the players I have talked to, you better bring your “big boy” pads if you want to line up against the Raiders under Cable.
But, we can’t talk about the Raiders without Al Davis. Once again, the owner wants change—immediate results. I get that, but at what cost? Is starting over—again—really a solution to becoming a consistent playoff team in the NFL? And, let’s be honest here, what big name coach is going to beat down the owner’s door to get a crack at this gig?
There has been talk of offensive coordinator Hue Jackson taking over. I know coach Jackson from my time in Washington playing for the Redskins. He was part of Steve Spurrier’s staff and I do respect his ability to coach offensive football. However, he isn’t ready to be the headman yet in the NFL—and he isn’t an upgrade over Cable.
And maybe that’s it. I guess we shouldn’t understand Al Davis and his decisions to run this franchise into the ground. The owner has an opportunity to allow a coach to build on some success from the 2010 season.
But that would too easy—and smart—for Davis
January 4th, 2011 at 4:54 pm

Jhill,
Why do you even bother to bring shcytt up that you’ve been called on before.
1. You claim it was Ford that tried to move with the ball after catching it rather than trying to get out of bounds. the video proved other wise. Then you tried to weasel your way out of it by saying you can’t view videos from nfl.com. I followed it with a youtube and you changed the subject.
So dont even bother trying to change the subject.
2. You claimed that Reece ran up the middle on that first drive on 4th and 1 against the Rams and I proved that it was a run to the right side. I was 100% right.
the question is area you man enough to admit you were wrong on both poitns or are you going to try and BS your way out of it. For you to claim throughout the season that you’re a not a JC fan, you make quite a bit of excuses for him. You’re just a weasel afraid to man up when you’re wrong or man up to back the guy you follow. STFU already!

I was honestly just finding out if there were some logical reasons I wasn’t aware of.
———–
What logical reasons do you want? Every team in the NFL looks to improve during the offseason. That’s what the offseason is about. Moreover, every season in the NFL is different. Countless factors play into whether a team plays good football, or whether they collapse.
It’s undeniable that this team has more talent than it has in the past seven years. In the offseason certain adjustments will be made. All we can do is wait and see what happens.
Personally, I’m cautiously optimistic. I think a lot will depend on which coaches and players come back, and how the 2011 draft goes. If the Raiders can keep their momentum going on offense and be more consistent on defense next season, they could easily put together a 10-win season.
Believe what you want, man. If you don’t believe the Raiders will ever get any better, then you’re wasting your time posting in this blog.
Me? I AM a Raider fan, of course. I’m always hopeful they’ll improve. Certainly, the Raiders organization is unique, and comes with unique challenges (an owner who has preconceived notions of how the game should be played and a reluctance to pay top dollar for coaches, preconceived notions about the organization around the league), but that’s also part of the reason the Raiders are so intriguing to me as a fan of the game of football.

Did Ford have time to run after catching that last ball against Jax?
Yes or no please
Let’s see if you are man enough to answer these questions.
January 4th, 2011 at 5:09 pm
true Aig,
but I stated that might be used by DAVIS to fire Cable, not me. Does Davis look at JC and think “terrible QB.” Unlikely.
More likely sees the easiest schedule he’s had in decades, a top-10 offense, the 11th ranked defense, and an 8-8 finish with BRUTAL losses to every legit team and a couple non-legit teams.
Gruden went 8-8 with Donald Hollas
So not sure he’ll blame the next Jim Plunkett, but would be sweet. Night to you too. Didn’t want to leave without answering your direct comment.

——————————————————-
I said LONG ago I was wrong about Ford trying to turn upfield after the catch instead of running OOB.
You know how I realized that?
I watched the play again on the DVR, lol.
But the original POINT was the pass from JC was to Ford for him to try and get OOB!
Your rant the whole time was JC should have thrown the ball to the ONLY WR going to the endzone who was the double covered DHB.
Again, can you please comment on the comments from JERRY’s thread?
Here they are again ….
Here was Campbell’s explanation of the final drive against Jacksonville, which ended with a short completion to Jacoby Ford as time expired.
“I think we just ran out of time,’’ Campbell said. “The third down play, we were trying to get a call in and had to switch it really quick to try and get the first (down).

As always, you come back with a good rebuttal. And your points are all legit. Later dude.
January 4th, 2011 at 5:15 pm
Did Reece run up the middle or to the side?
——————————————————
AIG,
We ALL know the FB dive/fake pitch to DMac play.
The play is designed to go between the C and OG.
The POINT you were trying to make is one side was overloaded, per Cable, so there should have been a TO, audible, or whatever.
If you are asking me if he ran the ball off the RG instead of behind the C, I’ll give you that. No biggie. Don’t even have to review the film, because that is still up the middle to me and most people.
FB Dive is not designed to go outside. right or wrong?

I’m on board with Cable staying on as HC.
If Al decides to make a change, he needs to hit the jackpot. Chances are he’ll ufck it all up..
Anyone calling for McDonkey to come here in ANY capacity, really should seek out a Mental Health professional and get some much needed help..
January 4th, 2011 at 5:20 pm
Personally, I don’t find either of you very knowledgable.
January 4th, 2011 at 5:21 pm
You see how much of a weasel you are….the effin play was to the right side and you are not man enough to admit it.
It was to the side that STL overloaded on and Jadummy should have called a timeout. That was the reason why TC tried to call a timeout and after the game admitted that Jadummy should have recognized the situation.
a few weeks later, Jadummy admitted to Gannon that he still has not learned all the formation during the week leading up tot he Niner game.
But keep on with the excuses.

What you really want me to say is that since I am black, I like all black QBs no matter what they do.
THAT is what you believe and why you only “get upset” with black posters, lol.
SEVERAL posters have told “reminded” you of how I called for JC to be benched in GAME ONE! Right after the punk arsse slide, but here were are 16 games later because you believe all the black guys like the black QB.
Pathetic!
January 4th, 2011 at 5:26 pm
Al Davis and his role in the Raider’s demise is relevant.
Arguing about one play 3 weeks ago is stupid.

January 4th, 2011 at 5:29 pm
So how about your takes AIG????
Let’s start with was JC throwing the ball to Ford so he could get OOB?
How about your take that he was holding the ball too long on the previous play? How long does it take a double move to develop?
I’ll wait Mr Man Up ….
January 4th, 2011 at 5:30 pm
Al will no doubt f’k up this coaching thing.
If he does, another 5 years of losing and plenty of talent walking out the door.

I hope his ghost haunts all the evil media and their spawn.

This is where AIG disappears for a while instead of “man’ing up” and saying yeah, JC was trying to run the plays that were called on that last drive AS CALLED by the OC.
Would just throw too much of a monkey wrench into his Ja propoganda.
Ja is better than Gardowski mayne!

Ford wasn’t trying to turn up the field.
Reece ran behind the RG.
JC is WAYYYYY better than Gardowski, IMO.
Can I get an answet to my questions now?
January 4th, 2011 at 5:40 pm
plunkethtead, is there a good photo of Al taken since 1970?
January 4th, 2011 at 5:40 pm
Let’s see, elevating Hue Jackson to HC would ensure some sort of continuity, while giving Al Davis a chance to do his favorite thing in the world: Firing a mofo. Oh yeah, Cable’s gone. P.S. Jeff Bridges blows this fat dude’s head off in “True Grit”. The guy looks exactly like Cable. I took that as an omen.

LOVE JC over Gardowski!
Get Brady, Manning, Ryan, Rogers, Vick, or those guys in in here, and I’ll take them over JC. Same goes for Luck, the Mizzou QB, Orton, or Kolb.
Do not want McNabb, Tebow, Palmer, or Gardowski.
January 4th, 2011 at 5:45 pm
Hill,
I dont disappear. I just refuse to get into a discussion with you other than calling you out when you blatantly tries to rewrite history to excuse your JaDrama Queen.
Plain and simple. Against Detroit in 2009 4th down from Det’s 40 yd line on the final play, JC dumped off for a game over. Against Jax, JC dumped off with 11 secs left from pretty much the same distance. He is who he is. 1:31 secs, 60 yds and 1 TO to become a hero and he wilted as he always does. But keep on waiting for that hero to emerge after 7 yrs and 70+ starts.

Grad outplayed JC in 4 instances with the same teammates and same opponent. Grad has carried the team at least 1 time and Grad has come through more than once in the final drive while with the Raiders.
Tebow is the only reason Denver was even in the game against us and clearly outplayed JC.
McNabb and Tebow have both achieved way more than JC ever have….
But hey JC is sooo much better than all of them….lmfao.

I’ll take Orton in a heart beat too….Not a big fan of him but I know he is wayyy better than the drama queen who pretends to be seriously hurt every time he gets touched. I swear this dude knows how to game the system for the next contract.
January 4th, 2011 at 5:54 pm
Mallet has a great arm. I like to draft him if he was available in the 3rd.
January 4th, 2011 at 5:55 pm
Move the team to Rhode Island!
Change the colors to periwinkle and fuchsia!
Trade the entire roster for Tim Tebow!

And that point is? Kell can’t spell cool. lmao
January 4th, 2011 at 6:02 pm
I like this Mallett guy. His demeanor reminds me of Jamarcus. He just threw that awesome TD pass and looks like he could care less. Hope we get a shot at him.
January 4th, 2011 at 6:03 pm
Kirk, it flew right over you, bud. Maybe when you’re a little older and more seasoned…
January 4th, 2011 at 6:03 pm
Well, well. That was quick. Hue already getting an interview. Why no one is interested in interviewing Cabes yet I wonder?
Also looks like overall comments are finally starting to come down to Earth and realize the situation for what it is. Hue or Cabes, you chose Hue.
What I think WILL happen? Hue has a shot but I don’t think he gets the HC gig because of his “newness” as an OC so teams may view it as a risk to big to take.
So Cabes MAY be safe unless Hue actually gets an offer or Al swings and hits a homerun with Harbaugh. Now that will immediately sell tickets!
January 4th, 2011 at 6:03 pm
so it does’nt sound ridiculous to you?
January 4th, 2011 at 6:03 pm
Mallett’s physical tools look impressive but I’m hesitant to say the Raiders should spend one of their top picks on a Bobby Petrino quarterback.

I’m 35 and way past the race sh it. Any way you look at it having to interview based on the color of one’s skin is racist. Say Jerry Jones has decided to hire Jason Garrett. Is it fair to Jerry, Jason, or any guys they bring in to interview when he already knows who his coach is gonna be?

Someone “close” to Harbaurgh accd’g to ESPN report says he is highly unlikely to go to Michigan. Says NFL is his calling now.
Michigan said to “still undecided” regarding Rodriguez, may have something tomorrow. Postponed a team meeting today until decided I think.
This says the source may actually be right. Harbaurgh looking at the NFL?

As far as Cable being 17-27 in the 44 games he has coached it is better than the 8-36 we were in the previous 44 games-with so called ‘real’ coaches.
January 4th, 2011 at 6:35 pm
Tony, at least 3 people know you’re confused. Ghosttothepost, Alex, and myself. And any moderators. That’s 4 plus people who know you’re a little confused, buddy. But keep accusing me of being more people. That’s more people who know you’re confused. Doesn’t do a lot for your credibility.

-It’s better than the prev coaches and seasons: yes!
-Could we have done better? Yes, a lot better. We were 2-6 outside the division.
You are assuming that we will improve from our 8-8 record, but that’s not a sure thing.
-Look at SF & Tenn. Everyone thought they will improve this season and compete in the POs. They are sub .500 this season.

January 4th, 2011 at 6:46 pm
A Raiders offseason is never bland. It can be more intriguing than the actual games at times.
I can tell you this. Cable does not inspire ticket sales. With Harbaurgh the fan base becomes ’seriously’ rejuvenated and you can’t find enough tickets to sell. Come out strong opening season and its a sell out every darn game.
January 4th, 2011 at 6:46 pm

Lonetree, both Alex and myself know you’re wrong. That’s 2 people here who know you’re a little bit wacky.

Actually, that is still one person Real SybilRaider.
January 4th, 2011 at 6:51 pm
Well, that sort of counts, Kirk. But the comment obviously reveals a bitterness stemming from me calling you out on your race baiting earlier. Again, a comment that either has nothing to do with race, or our discussion earlier. I don’t know if you’re capable of it. So go ahead, just keep talking about race and picking fights with people who mock you for it. I don’t know if your attention span allows you to discuss anything else.

Filed to ESPN: Raiders informed Tom Cable they will not pick up the option in his contract. He no longer is the Raiders head coach.
OMG!!! Here we go again…
January 4th, 2011 at 6:52 pm
Bo, your guys’ credibility is not that great as it is. Every time you accuse me of being someone else, that other person notices, too, and that makes even more people who know you’re confused. Archive Tony was accusing me of being GhosttothePost yesterday, who’s a Davis guy. Accusing me of being a Davis worshiper is one step away from talking to trees. So go ahead, keep reaching, guys.

anyway, anyone who hopes or wishes or desires the Oaktown Raiders to be run, coached, or to play as all the other teams in the National Football League misses the point. win or lose, the Raiders are unique and that is not because of CBAs nor anything the league has to offer, it is because Al has set the tone. Al haters can wish the Raiders to be like other sterile franchises but then they would not be the Raiders. the basic fy*K you and goodnight.

The Oakland Raiders have informed Tom Cable they will not pick up the option in his contract, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
…….Could it be true!!! Things are heating up!
January 4th, 2011 at 6:54 pm
Well, Cable did an admirable enough job making this team quasi-relevant again. But let’s hope the next guy can help the Raiders take the next step. .500 is nice and all in comparison to the last seven years, but you have to do better than that to compete with the elite teams in this league.
January 4th, 2011 at 6:55 pm
MR, you are a confirmed, self-admitted cross-poster. Otherwise known as a troll. No self esteem. One overriding obsession.
Loser.
And you talk about credibility?
January 4th, 2011 at 6:55 pm
Has anyone here ever considered the possibility of Schefter being right? LOL? Is it really that impossible that Cable would get fired? Davis is faced with either firing him or committing to him. Davis doesn’t want to give him a new contract, then have to pay him and/or fight him in arbitration if he has to fire him next year. Firing Cable actually does make some sense. Personally I’d like to think Davis was firing him to bring in a big name and finally rebuild this joke of a franchise, but more likely, Davis is going to run him out to avoid giving him a new contract that he will have to honor no matter what happens.

Is it Harbaugh since Hue was given permission to talk? Man the Raiders are so damn exciting!!!

Try again Alex/KiffinRaider, that one didn’t work as there weren’t two of you.
January 4th, 2011 at 6:56 pm
ADHD for sure. Race baiting? Was’nt supposed to be. I just said Rooney rule was ridiculous and you jumped all over it. What does that say about you? You keep talkin about it asking me not to. Like I said Real Motherfing Retarded.

Back to the dark days… AD has totally lost touch with Reality.
What else is new?
January 4th, 2011 at 6:56 pm
Bo, accuse me of trolling or cross posting all you want. But for your own good, every time you accuse me of being a certain commenter, both me and that commenter know you’re a little bit nuts. Word to the wise.

I can tell you this. Cable does not inspire ticket sales. With Harbaurgh the fan base becomes ’seriously’ rejuvenated and you can’t find enough tickets to sell. Come out strong opening season and its a sell out every darn game.
———————————-
That’s the typical Davis’ off-season game. Flashy Free-Agent hiring to sell tickets. Doesn’t work very well, because the fan base knows Al Davis despite the flash, is still in charge.
Coming off 8-8 it could work this time.
But Harbaugh’s carte blanche is high right now.
Al Can’t/Won’t pay him
Won’t let him hire his own assistants.
Won’t let him run his own scheme, unfettered.
Oldest Stadium in the NFL.
January 4th, 2011 at 6:59 pm
Ohio’s smelling fear.
January 4th, 2011 at 6:59 pm
There were fair arguments for and against Cable staying. Personally, I’m more concerned about Hue Jackson, since his coaching made a huge difference on the offensive side of the ball.
January 4th, 2011 at 6:59 pm
I also remember your “promise” to stop posting after we surpassed 5 wins this last year. U sniveling liar.
January 4th, 2011 at 7:00 pm
Bo, I can just start making fun of Al Davis and make you fume right now, but I’m not. Give me some credit.
January 4th, 2011 at 7:00 pm
Terrapin,
Adam Schefter just reported that his first boner was for Craig Morton but his first real man one was for Shanarat.
January 4th, 2011 at 7:00 pm
If I’m Harbaugh, I might go to SF. Nicer City, He can pick hiw own GM…….not weird………
January 4th, 2011 at 7:00 pm
Wow!
if this IS true,
Al is moving quickly this time…
maybe he has someone already

I lied, Bo. Sue me. Sure, my credibility has taken a hit. But I’m not about to start proclaiming that certain handles are the same people cross posting.
January 4th, 2011 at 7:02 pm
Seems like Al has some scheme he’s trying to hatch. He always does.
I guess that’s what makes being a Raiders fan so interesting, eh?

Raiders cut Tom Cable loose
Posted by Mike Florio on January 4, 2011, 9:49 PM EST
Tom Cable
Four years ago, Adam Schefter reported that the Raiders would fire coach Art Shell. The Raiders loudly denied the report, calling Schefter a “false rumor monger.”
And then they fired Art Shell.
This time around, Schefter reported that the Raiders would not be keeping coach Tom Cable, despite the team’s first non-losing record since 2002. The Raiders said nothing in response.
Now, Schefter reports that the Raiders have informed Cable that the option on his contract will not be exercised.
As a result, Cable is no longer the coach of the Raiders.
Speculation has centered on offensive coordinator Hue Jackson being promoted into the job.
The Raiders’ 8-8 finish in 2010 arose in large part from a 6-0 record against AFC West teams. But as NBC’s Rodney Harrison explained it during our weekly video segment, there was a sense that Cable didn’t exert enough discipline over the younger players on the team.

Raiders cut ties with Cable
PUBLISHED 14 minutes and 36 seconds ago
SN Icon Sporting News
The Oakland Raiders have informed coach Tom Cable they will not pick up his option for next season, according to reports.
Cable led the Raiders to an 8-8 season — Oakland’s first non-losing season since 2002 — and had options remaining for 2011 and 2012, but Oakland told Cable on Tuesday evening they were moving in a different direction, ESPN first reported.
Raiders cut ties with Cable Despite an 8-8 record this season, Oakland has fired head coach Tom Cable, according to multiple reports.
The San Jose Mercury News reported that Cable was expected to talk with multiple teams about a coaching position.
ESPN reported the move came a bit earlier than expected because Oakland is interested in promoting offensive coordinator Hue Jackson into the head role, and other teams are requesting to interview him for their respective openings.

PFT is reporting that the 9ers have hired Baalke as their GM, so no coach will be choosing their own GM in SF. That’s kinda backasswards anyway, seeing that the GM is usually the one to hire the Head Coach, that is if said team actually has a GM position within the organization…

Kirk is so far past the race sh it, he’s been trying desperately to start a discussion on race for the last half hour. Possibly longer, that’s just since I’ve been here.

You’ve been here all day. Just under different names.
How odd is it that now there are at least a handful of posters, on this thread alone, who know about you and your cross posting?
