Add Capers to Raiders’ rumor mill
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Thursday, January 12th, 2012 at 5:23 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Defensive coordinator Dom Capers is the latest Green Bay Packers coach rumored to be a possibility to be the next head coach of the Raiders.
Capers name was floated by the NFL Network’s Jason LaCanfora, who reported Thursday the Raiders were interested in talking to him once the Packers season is concluded.
General manager Reggie McKenzie was reportedly set to interview Miami Dolphins interim head coach Todd Bowles on Friday, while other Green Bay assistants on the radar include assistant head coach and inside linebackers coach Winston Moss, offensive coordinator Joe Philbin and quarterbacks coach Tom Clements.
McKenzie worked in the Green Bay organization for 18 years before being named the Raiders’ general manager.
Capers, 61, was the head coach of the Carolina Panthers from 1995-98 and the Houston Texans from 2002 through 2005 .Caper is 48-80 as a head coach, going 30-34 as the first coach of the expansion Panthers and leading the team to the NFC title game in its second year of existence. He as 18-46 in four years with the Houston Texans.
A respected defensive coordinator, Capers is a proponent of the 3-4 defense.
The Raiders at present are adhering to their policy of not confirming interviews or potential interviews.

This blog is self gratification, for a guy who can’t find one comment about me saying anything about his repeated comment of hate about Davis. I understand he plays this game and it’s always about him and how right he was.
—————————————
Hate about Al Davis you lying mfkr? I never “hated” Al Davis. He just needed to step down.
But you keep repeating that lie, because you didn’t want me questioning his moves.
And now you have the nerve to say you were on board with modernization? You lying pos.
January 12th, 2012 at 5:27 pm
I questioned Al Davis’ moves, so I must have hated him, lie.

If you didn’t hate Al Davis you surely despised him. That was the feeling I always got from your comments…

Dom Capers.
Hardly an exciting choice.
48-80 record as Head Coach, 1 winning record in 8 seasons and that was back in 1996 or 15 years ago.
You can’t even call Dom Capers the defensive Norv Turner, Norv has won a lot more.
And nobody seems to be able to explain why the GB Defense, with plenty of talent, can’t stop anyone this year.
Capers is without a doubt a capable guy, much more qualified than any other GB assistant but I doubt he’s the answer.
Now if they bring Dom Capers as HC and Winston Moss as DC so he can actually call a defense for the 1st time and get ready to take over in a couple of years, it would make a little more sense.
January 12th, 2012 at 5:33 pm
And regarding Dom Capers, don’t bring up Belichick or some other Coach who failed on his 1st job and became a hit in his second stint.
In this case, you’d have to come up with a Coach who failed in his first 2 jobs and nailed his 3rd chance, because this would be Dom’s 3rd shot.

Spend one week in Cabo recouping from a humiliating loss and all hell breaks loose in the nation…it looks like I’m gonna have to change my screen name, I was probably gonna change it anyway as I stopped believing in him some time ago. Hue needed someone to keep him in check and lost that with the passing of Al. Oh well here is to rebuilding the Nation quickly..I’ll let everyone know the new handle when it comes to me (don’t want to be accused of being a cross poster).

I would much rather take a shot with a young, up and coming kid who might be the next big thing and also happens to have Raiders ties.

January 12th, 2012 at 5:35 pm
KK,
You have a hard time discussing your thoughts and points. To swear on this blog makes you look childish and hateful.
Some of those copy and paste articles you posted were hateful. Did you read them and copy them to the blog or did you find them necessary to have your point that Davis must step aside to justify your position.
So if your going to call me your typical POS, or MFKER, as you do in here a lot, please do so and remember, you are the one who posted all those hateful comments, not me.

OK – I understand all the connections to Green Bay when looking for a new HC given the new GM, but it seems to me that the biggest problem was the defense and this definitely is not Green Bay’s strong suit. I do not know why we would be going after and unproven HC – a la Bowles. OK – I think getting Gruden back would be a long shot – and once again – not defensive minded. Why has Bill Cowher not been presented as a viable option?????
Proven, SuperBowl winning HC with a defensive mind-set that is currently on the bench and has been for a few years. He’s got to be itching to get back in the game. This is a guy we wouldn’t have had a chance at getting under the Al Davis regime because of Al’s constant meddling with the team – and if you believe Warren Sapp – actually calling/changing defensive game plans week to week.
With Reggie, I am hoping he handles front-office, and draft personnel decisions (with significant input from whomever the HC is) and leaves the coaching to the coaches. Cowher would be sweet!!! Get on it Reggie!

I also heard Hue interviewed by Grant on The Fan Sac station. Hue was all class and gave much love to Raider Nation for supporting the team big time this year.
I think the Nation fed off Hue hard work and energy, hence why all home games were sold out this year.

I thought that it is more Gruden does not want to coach? Heard on Towny 95.7 that he has received multiple offers and turned them down, b/c he is getting paid for limited work?
January 12th, 2012 at 5:54 pm
I am hoping that whoever is brought in as the HC might consider retaining Al Saunders as OC.

It would be only a matter of time when the credit for the sell-outs would come into question. Gruden coming back a is a pipe dream for all to wonder about. Saunders coming back would keep that offense scoring 20+ per game. In keeping with the house cleaning phat chance it happening though.
January 12th, 2012 at 5:57 pm
I think we will be on a steadier course. The front office and personnel department have been needing a house cleaning for quite sometime now.
I just hope McKenize hires the right head coach and in turn the new head coach hires good assistants.
Dom Capers as head coach? Tim Bowles as head coach?
Nah. I would rather have Moss ahead of those guys and even Gruden back!

If they hire Moss as head coach and bring in Trgovac or Perry as the DC’s and then keep Saunders as OC to maintain offensive continuity, then I will feel better.
If they don’t keep Saunders as OC, than they should hire Packers QB coach Tom Clements as OC.
January 12th, 2012 at 6:00 pm
Remember when McCarthy was hired? Even Gil Brandt thought that was a poor pick. But look at him now. Too bad we have stadium issues that a bland coach would only exacerbate.

Sorry not on board with capers as hc, I dont like retreads. i would rather go with moss, he will relate much better to the players and the community of oakland, and he knows capers defense.
On another note I think it is hilarious that everyone is so upset the palmer is now only a stop gap qb. He may stay for a year or two, but big mack will be drafting a qb in 2013. palmer can keep the seat warm for his eventual replacement.

Keep the offensive system and terminology the same so there is continuity on Offeense and we are good to go!!
reggieMac has a plan, he is just asking it slow and low.
He is an “aim, shoot, fire guy”.Not a fire, aim, shoot guy.

I get the feeling like Reggie McKenzie already has his short and long term goals set for the organization. He just needs to start moving his chess pieces to move his plan along. Would it be a long shot in saying that T.Pryor won’t have improved enough to garner backup consideration?

is there 1 raider fan that believes in the 3-4 defense ? is there 1 raider fan that believes we have linebackers that can run a 3-4 defense ? is there 1 raide rfan that cares wut john madden or ron wolfe says
?
January 12th, 2012 at 6:14 pm
I don’t get the fascination with Winston Moss.
What has he proven?.
That he can coach Inside Linebackers?.
Because he’s not even the LB coach over there, Kevin Greene coaches OLB, Winston just deals with the inside guys, A. J. Hawk is nothing special and Desmond Bishop is a beast, so 1 out of 2 is ok, I guess.
No disrespect for Winston Moss, he may be a leader of men, hence the Assistant Head Coach title, but when the Packers needed a DC he was right there and was passed over, he also openly campaigned for the Philly DC job last year and didn’t even get interviewed.
Point is, those GB coaches, with the exception of Capers and Trgovac are extremely unproven and inexperienced, and while Winston Moss may become a good Head Coach because of his leadership skills, he’ll need some damn fine Coordinators who can call a game.
People here say we can get good coaches now that Al is gone and we have a GM.
I’m sorry but there must be better candidates out there.
January 12th, 2012 at 6:15 pm
Dallas is gonna off load Romo. We need to grab him for our #2 and if the Jets do the same to Sanchez, he’ll be a good #3.
JaMarcus wants to return as a 0-lineman. No problem with that.
My co-workers all agree Raiders need to stay in Oakland.
Cowher on his way to Oakland??????????
Why do they call it taking a dump? Shouldn’t it be leaving a dump?
January 12th, 2012 at 6:15 pm
I guess we should hope the Packers lose this weekend so we can get our coach sooner.
January 12th, 2012 at 6:15 pm
McKenzie said Palmer was our QB moving forward on 1140 tonight, which I liked to hear from his mouth. Hopefully we retain Sanders to keep the offense productive as it doesn’t need much tweaking, just healthy bodies. I was really excited by the direction Jackson had our offense going and hope it stays intact. Defense needs to be addressed. Hopefully we don’t bring in an idiot. I expected McKenzie to better spoken being a GM, but will take results over speech any day of the week. RRRAAAIIIDDDEEERRRSSS! Lets right this ship!

I believe in our GM…
He is an Ex-Raider, who spent the last 2 decades for a team that has only had 2 Quartebacks and 4 coaches, Rhodes, Sherman, Holmgren and McCarthy( could be wrong on that)
They have won 2 superbowls and possibly a third this year. They have had one of the best ever in Favre and when it is all said and done, if Rodgers stays Healthy, he could be one of the greats.
He knows how to draft and develop players, which is HUGE!!
And when they did spend money on Free Agents, they did a pretty good job resurrecting the Career of one of my favorite Raiders: Cwood.
We will do fine people…..
January 12th, 2012 at 6:21 pm

so reggie mckenzie knows how to develop players ? lol .. really .. and coaches dont develop players ? but gms do ? so i hope no coach ever gets credit for ( developing) another player .. smh ..
oh and the packers resuurected charles woodson ? ok.. so he was terrible in oakland right ? inyteresting . and he didnt just st miraculously stay healthy and just play ina different defense and against different (nfc) qbs right ?
January 12th, 2012 at 6:25 pm
Not sure about Capers but not dead set against it. Can’t look at the record alone because it’s distorted by the fact his two chances came with expansion franchises. This Year’s Packers D is statistically bad, but they did get a ton of takeaways and were real good last year and most years he puts together a top D.
Funny that so many here are willing to go all in on Winston Moss with virtually nothing to base that on. I’m not even saying he can’t be good or even great, but I, like you have no idea and next to nothing to even base an opinion on. I mean, the guy’s an Inside Linebackers coach and Assistant Head Coach. $100 to anyone who can tell us what the hell an Assistant Head Coach’s role actually is.
January 12th, 2012 at 6:26 pm

hue jackson showed me more than dom capers . plus , capers defenses always seem to underperform . al davis hired super bowl winning coaches dude. dom capers ? lol… al davis hired jon gruden ,, dude.,. dom capers ?
January 12th, 2012 at 6:27 pm
Biggest concern I’d have about Capers is he seems like a low profile, in the shadows kind of guy, not someone who can motivate and crack the whip when needed. Which sounds exactly like Norv.

Not sure about Capers but not dead set against it. Can’t look at the record alone because it’s distorted by the fact his two chances came with expansion franchises. This Year’s Packers D is statistically bad, but they did get a ton of takeaways and were real good last year and most years he puts together a top D.
Funny that so many here are willing to go all in on Winston Moss with virtually nothing to base that on. I’m not even saying he can’t be good or even great, but I, like you have no idea and next to nothing to even base an opinion on. I mean, the guy’s an Inside Linebackers coach and Assistant Head Coach. $100 to anyone who can tell us what the hell an Assistant Head Coach’s role actually is.

I hear where you coming from. I just like the idea of bringing in young blood as opposed to a retread HC.

Dorian, I was talking about his recent hires.
January 12th, 2012 at 6:29 pm
us raider fans will give a retarded baboon a chance i swear. we like new stuff.. anything new we all in.. ooooh we got a new def coordinator.. we gonna magically stop the run now with our dumb azz linebackers / soft safeties that are scared to tackle.. our fat slow old defensive tackles and our pass rushing d. ends.. oooh but its a new head coach ..
January 12th, 2012 at 6:30 pm

“The same could be said for any HC before he was given a shot.”
———————————————–
No.
I would think that if you’re looking for a Head Coach, you have to try to get someone who has Coordinated a Defensive or Offensive unit before, play-calling included.
So that candidate would at least have proven he can handle his area of expertise.

January 12th, 2012 at 6:31 pm
i do gotta question . why doesnt anybody seem to want to hire brian billick? the people on the inside must know sumtin or hes been blackballed cus the guy seemed to motitave teams and he won a superbowl this decade !! wierd .
i mean at least a coordinator job
January 12th, 2012 at 6:34 pm
my feelings are still hurt by watchin jon gruden celebrate as that sorry azz safety on the bucs was running back one of gannons 30 ints in the superbowl..

How do you feel about David Shaw?.
About 9 years as NFL assistant, including stints as QB coach, bright guy, took over from Harbaugh and didn’t miss a beat.
Young at 39, but grew up around the NFL as Willie’s kid, coached Gannon in Oakland for Jon Gruden.
I’d rather take a shot with this kid, seems like an Al Davis hire, the good kind.

Billick? Pass. He was Ravens’ official Head Coach when they won the Super Bowl, but he can thank Marvin Lewis’ awesome defense for that one.
Anyone ever notice that for all of Billick’s rep as an “offensive guru,” the Ravens’ offense totally sucked every year he was there?

January 12th, 2012 at 6:47 pm
You know thats a good point about Al Davis. He hired
4 coaches that went on to win a Super Bowl. I’m not sure any other GM can make that same claim. Albeit that 2 of the 4 won with another team.

Why? You ARE aware of both Gruden’s mediocre post-Super Bowl record, and the generally dismal record of NFL Head Coaches returning to the same team they coached before?
As I mentioned earlier, Bud Grant did OK (almost reaching .500), but Art Shell, Joe Gibbs and Marion Campbell were all disasters in their return engagements.

One coach flying under the radar I think the Raiders should bring in is Marty Schottenheimer…… I know this will cause Al to spin in his grave but it would make for a great start too a new era
January 12th, 2012 at 6:50 pm
*Forgot George Allen’s return to the Rams, where he was fired before he’d even coached a regular-season game…
January 12th, 2012 at 6:50 pm
Bringing gruden back is like someone trying to get the band together again… it never works out… its like going out with a hott chick in high-school and breaking up. .. then meeting her again 10 yrs later.. divorced with three kids…. bad idea!!
January 12th, 2012 at 6:50 pm
Awful choice. If they choose him we are doomed. He’s an old retread and a bad defensive coordinator. The fans won’t come with him in charge and Reggie will instantly become a joke.

I think Reggie knows who he wants, he is just doing his due diligence and going through the process.
————————————————————————————————————–
I think this is the case as well. Here’s why:
McKenzie said he “only knows one way” of doing things from his years in Green Bay. Well during his years in Green Bay there have been 4 Head coaches. Holmgren, Ray Rhodes, Mike Sherman, and Mike McCarthy.
Of the four, only Rhodes was a defensive guy. The other 3 were former offensive coordinators. But Rhodes was the only one that lasted only 1 year as head coach. the others at least 5 years.
So McKenzie’s guys mentioned so far have been defensive guys which I think is smokescreen or due dilligence. I believe he has an offensive minded guy in waiting and that guy could be Gruden or Clements or Philbin.
January 12th, 2012 at 6:53 pm

Philbin could be interesting, but it’s tough to know how the tragedy could affect him.
He could be distracted and unmotivated, or he might throw himself into his work.
He may want to stay close to home with his family, or maybe a move across the country to take a high-stress, high-commitment job could be just what he needs.

January 12th, 2012 at 7:07 pm
Other than two star players, one of which we drafted, the Packer defense does not impress. We will likely end up with one of the Packer coaches, but I’d really prefer it if he came from the offense.
3-4, 4-3 doesnt really matter. When only a couple teams in the league runs one or the other it does, but when teams face a lot of both it really doesnt. We have some guys that might do better in a 3-4 but we have others who might do worse. One or the other shouldnt be the goal because overall it really doesnt matter. The goal needs to be to get coaches and players who are winners.
January 12th, 2012 at 7:07 pm
Yea… Fisher as our head coach.. that would be something. Let him bring in his entire coaching staff.. like Reggie said he would let the hc do… I suspect we wont know who our next coach will be until next week when the packers are knocked out of the playoffs by the giants…LOL..

It’s either the possibility of moving or something else. Whatever the reason, numerous media sources have stated that’s his big hesitation. Otherwise the Rams job would be an obvious choice, especially since he supposedly likes Sam Bradford.
Needless to say, if it’s not the location itself but the prospect of moving a franchise that’s spooking him (he supposedly HATED having to move the Oilers/Titans), then Mark Davis’ public talk of moving the team would make us a non-starter.

If they don’t keep Saunders as OC, than they should hire Packers QB coach Tom Clements as OC.

Thats the only way I can see it happening. Maybe Bowles is considered as a DC candidate as well.

If they don’t keep Saunders as OC, than they should hire Packers QB coach Tom Clements as OC.
______________________________________________
Agree 100%
^^^^^^^^^
Thats the only way I can see it happening. Maybe Bowles is considered as a DC candidate as well.
Bowles or Capers would be bad choices as head coaches for this team
It’s’ going to be someone big time, like Jon Gruden or more than likely Winston Moss.
=====================================
Capers would be all wrong. Bowles might be OK, though.
January 12th, 2012 at 7:37 pm
Lowdown. .. I think that’s exactly what happened. .. hue probably got all Cockey and told mark davis he guaranteed deep run into playoffs if we made That trade… and it blew up in hues face… I really do think it was that simple. .

He’ll ya…James gandolfini as HC would be a home run, and then hire Paulie “Walnuts” as DC
Every time a penalty is committed, Paulie will pull out the baseball bat and crack players in the kneecap
That would be a disciplined team….the penalty issue would be resolved.

We should hire Tebow’s old Florida coach. I bet he knows how to beat him.
January 12th, 2012 at 7:44 pm
That article suggesting Carson might “quit” again is far fetched.
No way does Carson want that kind of stigma attached to his legacy and have it be what he is most remembered for.
“Heisman? Did he win the Heisman?”
“I always thought he was just that quitter guy”.
January 12th, 2012 at 7:44 pm
I would rather Moss or Pack QB coach Tom Clements as HC.
If Moss is hired as HC, then we need to hope that Saunders is kept as OC or Clements is hired as the OC.
I think if this happens, than Trgovac or Perry will be the DC’s.
I would still like Ravens LB coach Dean Pees to be looked as DC also.
January 12th, 2012 at 7:45 pm
If we were still in playoff race right now.. hue would’ve been in much stronger position. … but alas. . Our defense straight up sucked ass. .. I Just want the team to win again… I don’t care who we get as hc as long as we fricken win dammit. ..

Here it is again!.
- I’m making David Shaw my number 1 candidate, go get him Reggie, he won’t be available for long.
————————————————–
Here’s a story from the New York Times:
- With No. 7 Stanford awash in optimism, holding its highest preseason ranking since 1950 and the Heisman Trophy favorite Andrew Luck, Shaw has been elevated from assistant coach to one of the most intriguing positions in college football.
Can the mild-mannered Shaw keep Stanford on the path forged by his ornery predecessor, Jim Harbaugh, who left for the N.F.L. after guiding the Cardinal to a 12-1 record, including an Orange Bowl victory?.
“He won the job,” Athletic Director Bob Bowlsby said.
“He didn’t get it because he was a Stanford guy, or an African-American or because his dad coached here. He won it by articulating a vision and having passion that comes across. This guy is special and has been around a lot of great coaches.”
A few days after Shaw, 39, got the Stanford job, he had a quiet moment in his office with his father, Willie, a longtime assistant coach in college and the N.F.L.
“We closed the door and we hugged and there were tears,” Shaw said. “It was one of the best moments of my life.”
The embrace celebrated two dreams fulfilled. The tears were shed for Willie Shaw’s lost dream, which helped forge a path for David to get the head coaching job he never could.
Willie Shaw, an assistant with five colleges and seven N.F.L. teams, interviewed for five N.F.L. head coaching positions and was a finalist with Philadelphia and Kansas City.
Brian Billick, who coached with Willie Shaw at multiple stops and also coached David at Stanford, said, “It’s hard to understand now, but when you look back in that era, African-American coaches were thought of more as great position coaches and recruiters.”
Willie Shaw said he was so close to getting the Stanford head coaching job in 1992 after Dennis Green left for the N.F.L. that he had met with the university president and that a team meeting and a news conference were scheduled to announce his appointment. Green recalled that Willie was “an eyelid away.”
But the sudden availability of Bill Walsh dashed that plan. As always, Willie Shaw did not become bitter, but rather moved on to the next stop.
“If I was on the committee, I would have hired Bill Walsh over me too,” he said.
As a Stanford receiver, David earned the nickname Coach Shaw for being a stickler with the underclassmen, and he even begged Walsh to call the play — a shallow cross known as 76X — that resulted in his first touchdown.
Still, Shaw insisted that he would not follow his father into coaching, and he nearly joined an asset allocation firm after graduation. But he felt a tug.
“I wasn’t ready to put on a tie,” he said.
Shaw took a job as a graduate assistant at Western Washington in 1995, and he fondly recalled earning $7,000 a year and eating nightly dinners of $3.95 teriyaki chicken.
After his first day on the practice field, it would have taken explosives to move Shaw to another profession.
Soon, he emulated his father’s style of teaching and articulating the most minute detail.
“I saw the allure and saw that this was something that you don’t necessarily choose to do,” Shaw said. “It’s something you do and you can’t stop doing.”
Rob Smith, the Western Washington coach at the time, said Shaw did not yell, listened in meetings and connected with the players individually. He stood out by not trying to stand out.
“It wasn’t about David Shaw,” said Smith, now the coach at Humboldt State. “It was about the job and the players with David. My guess is that he hasn’t changed.”
While at Western Washington, Shaw got an internship with the Philadelphia Eagles and impressed a young assistant coach named Jon Gruden.
Wide receiver Irving Fryar unintentionally taught Shaw a valuable coaching lesson during that camp.
Shaw shook Fyrar’s hand when the internship ended and told him he was going back to college coaching. Fryar could not believe that Shaw, who had tutored him on the nuances of the West Coast offense, was only 26.
“When you speak from a position of knowledge, you get people’s respect,” Shaw said.
He eventually joined Gruden with Oakland as a quality control coach and worked his way up to quarterbacks coach for the 2001 season, which ended with the Raiders’ loss in the controversial tuck-rule game against New England.
Shaw credits Gruden for teaching him to think like a play caller, especially after Gruden berated him for failing to think through a mock game plan he had drawn up.
Gruden, now an analyst for ESPN, remembered that Shaw had a quiet swagger. During training camp in 1999, when the Raiders cut receiver Dameane Douglas, a fourth-round draft pick out of California, Gruden recalled that Shaw said: “He went to Cal. What did you expect?”
As for Shaw’s future, Gruden said:
“He’s going to do an excellent job, just as he’s done there already. David Shaw wasn’t sitting there with his mouth shut and eyes closed. He deserves a lot of credit for where Stanford is.”
In his office, Shaw has a tissue box with pictures of a smirking Rex Ryan, Shaw was an assistant with the Baltimore Ravens. Shaw and the bombastic Ryan are opposites in personality, and the tissue box is a reminder of that.
“Be yourself,” said Shaw, acknowledging that he smiles whenever he sees Ryan’s pictures.
“And when something goes wrong or crazy, it reminds me of Rex saying, ‘Do you want to take a tissue and cry?’”
Despite his composed nature, Shaw can show emotion.
When Doug Baldwin was a freshman receiver at Stanford in 2007, the trainers held him out of a practice with a hamstring injury. But Baldwin joined a one-on-one drill anyway, so Shaw stopped practice and grabbed him by the jersey.
“I won’t repeat what he said,” Baldwin recalled with a laugh. “But I got the message.”
Although Shaw, unlike Harbaugh, is selective in showing his intensity, no one doubts his passion.
“The packages are different,” Bowlsby, the athletic director, said of Shaw and Harbaugh, “but the contents are the same.”
As Stanford’s offensive coordinator, Shaw worked closely with Luck, the starting quarterback since 2009.
Comparing his new coach with Harbaugh, Luck said Shaw would be a “little less eccentric and maybe a little less polarizing than the guy we had before.”
The former quarterback Rich Gannon, who had Shaw and Harbaugh as N.F.L. position coaches, said he did not expect any drop-off with Shaw in charge.
“I think the one guy who is really going to benefit is the quarterback,” Gannon said. “One thing David really does well is knowing what the quarterback needs.”
“David’s personality is what you see,” Kori Shaw said. “That’s how he is all the time. When something is exciting, he’ll say, ‘I’m excited.’ But not excitedly.”
Kori Shaw loves Stanford as much as David does. She has degrees in mechanical engineering, a bachelor’s from M.I.T. and a master’s from California.
On the side, she has studied Chinese, and in April she traveled to China to test her linguistic skills. Recently, she decided to spend more time with their three children: Keegan, 8, Carter, 6, and Gavin, 1 ½. A self-described closet nerd, Kori Shaw had worked as a model and at various Internet start-ups.
“In the football vernacular,” Bowlsby said, “David outkicked his coverage.”

@ 176,
Mark had the quintessential Cheshire Cat look at the interview. Mark wanted to fire Hue for making him look like a dope. Mark meets Reggie. Reggie says he’ll take the job BUT only if he can hire his own coaches.
Mark hires Reggie with full knowledge Reggie will fire Hue.
Mark saves face by not having to admit to Reggie or the Raider Nation that he was conned into buying snake oil.
Satisfaction was served.
Mark then celebrated by taking a picture of Moe (3 Stooges) to his barber and said: “Make my hair look like this”.
January 12th, 2012 at 7:54 pm
I admit I don’t know whether it was more becuz i thought he was a great QB, or more that i just thought it was so cool the Raiders went out and got a marquee type QB.
I remember the first reaction of Bears fans when they signed Cutler. The guy who was on the air on the sports station in Chi. said “I can’t belive it. We’ve got Jay freaking Cutler”.

Gruden won’t be coaching for awhile in the NFL if he wants GM powers as well as being head coach.

I think Carson will be on a mission this coming year.
He knows he doesn’t have forever to win a SB.
He knew he didn’t have a chance in Cincy.
I hope that is his driving force.
January 12th, 2012 at 8:03 pm
Bob Marley,
Shaw had some success this year with Stanford but he did have a lot to work with. But he lost me with his decision at the end of that Stanford-Okla State game taking the ball out of Luck’s hands and putting it on the foot of his freshman kicker, who was obviously beyond psyched out on the sidelines there.
As much as I got on Hue for his 3rd down call late vs. Detroit, I’ll take a bad aggressive mistake over some weak-azz playing not to lose style crap like what Shaw did there. I know it’s only one spot and he’s a first year HC, but that kind of thing was a window into his soul, and it told me when the chips are down, he’ll get scared stiff. I don’t know, maybe he learned his lesson there and can grow from that. I respect your opinion and you prob have a a better feel for DS than I do, just my gut reaction.
January 12th, 2012 at 8:07 pm
By the way, David Shaw at 39, maybe somewhat green, but he has more NFL Coaching experience than Jim Harbaugh did when hired in SF.
Shaw coached in the NFL for 9 years, Harbaugh coached for 2, in fact David Shaw was the Raiders QB Coach before Jim Harbaugh.
Harbaugh has more College experience as HC and of course, actually played in the NFL, but Shaw grew up around the League and played college ball, not quite the same but he’s got an athletic background as well.

Chris in NY.
Yeah, he had a lot to work with but it goes both ways, expectations were high and he met them.
I knew you’d go back to that call in the Bowl game, I remember your post when it happened, he’ll probably learn from it, just as any 1st year coach.
But hey, I have not read or heard about a single HC candidate that does not have some serious question marks, I’d rather roll with a young guy like Shaw.

One year as a college HC is not enough. He wasn’t an OC in the NFL, and he was an OC at college for 2 years.

yes it was that simple. Hue admitted that he talked to Mark about more control of the team prior to the SD game. WTF was he thinking IMO? You got the biggest game in a decade and your QB complained he doesnt have enough time with you. Hue was more concerned about his long term tenure.
Translation – Hue saw a weakness and tried to bully his way with a rookie owner. Mark insisted on letting the GM makes all the calls and Hue was busted for it. Hue tried to roll over the young owner and it didnt work. When that doesnt work, you are out. Simple as that.
January 12th, 2012 at 8:25 pm
2 years as an OC at Stanford, and 1 year as a HC is not enough experience to go with a rookie GM IMHO .

———————-
Yup. Guys like Cowher, Fisher and Gruden will want control over their own GM. Their GMs will be more like assistants to them rather than bosses. That is why Gruden will not come to Oakland unless he gives us a major hometown discount. My take is BigMac will get a low key guy in here to take orders from him.

Anybody catch HueJax on the R Eisen podcast? When referring to the success of Cam and Teblows and the new style of big, running QB’s, he said Terrelle Pryor is going to be special and that he is a hard worker and will be great sooner rather than later. Thought that was pretty interesting and exciting as I think the guy is money…
So, here’s how we get our draft picks back (most of them anyway). Trades
1) McClain – get a 2012 3rd rounder from the Giants who wanted to draft him in the first place and maybe a conditional late rounder in 2013. Move Curry to Mike and draft an OLB.
2) Palmer – trade him to Seattle for a 2nd rounder. Resign J. Campbell to a 2 year deal and have him and Pryor compete for #1 spot. Hoping Pryor wins out and we can start the ‘new era’ with Pryor at the helm for the next 3 years. If not, Campbell has much left in the tank and something to prove.
3) McFadden – as much as this hurts, he can’t be relied on. We can get a 2nd and a 4th from the Cowboys after their doctors convince them he’s 100%. He wants to play in Dallas anyway, always has, he might fare better on turf anyway.
That give us picks in all rounds except 1st but we’ll have 2 in the 2nd round and 3 in the 3rd (assuming 2 compensatory picks). We draft for *defense* except for the 4th rnd we get the best RB available and put him in rotation with Bush and Jones.
January 12th, 2012 at 8:36 pm
I rather hire an OC, DC, or a position coach from the NFL than a HC from college.
College is completely different from the PROs, and succes at college doesn’t always translate to success in the NFL.

So you would not have hired Jim Harbaugh?.
You know he just coached in the NFL for 2 years.
January 12th, 2012 at 8:43 pm
Would love to see Fisher as HC and think he would like Oakland (or LA) but the Raiders can’t pay what he’s asking for. All signs point to Moss which will likely be a good thing, he’s smart, ex Raider defense oriented (finally!!), great with players and well respected around the league – the guy could be the next Tomlin. He likely brings in Perry as DC. OC is a bit more of a mystery but surely they’ll get something young and up and coming nonetheless. Doubt its Philbin. Wish Hue could be the OC but that’s a pipe dream. Will miss his intelligence, motivation and style – not his vanity of course – hoping Moss is his equal or better of those qualities.
January 12th, 2012 at 8:45 pm
Jim Harbaugh was a different situation. I did want Harbaugh, and I posted thy mant times. I don’t think Shaw has the same experience as Harbaugh.

Hey Priest, I saw you posting, are you coming back or what?.
January 12th, 2012 at 9:04 pm
Curry at MLB is not an ideal situation. Curry at WLB isn’t even an ideal situation. Dan Connor from Carolina should be an FA target if McClain is traded.
McClain could fetch a 4th rounder from a 3-4 team.
Or if Wimbley is cut, McClain could be a fit at SLB in a 4-3.
So many of the trade scenarios are entirely dependent on the new DC’s scheme. Hard to tell at this point.
McFadden is the Raiders’ biggest bargaining chip, though. He’s the only player who could get the Raiders back into the second round. MAYBE the first round if the Raiders find a sucker. That potential pick would be wisely used on NTs Dontari Poe or Alameda Ta’amu.
I think Tommy Kelly will have some trade value for a team looking for a 4-3 UT. 3rd or 4th round pick, perhaps.
January 12th, 2012 at 9:05 pm
I agree with Priest, Big Mack needs to look somewhere other than the GB Defense, they are last in the league in total defense. Why not atleast give Shaw an interview, who knows he might kill it in the interview, like Mike Tomlin did in pittsburg. We all know Mr.Davis loved finding young under the radar talented coaches, some worked out some didn’t. Theres no harm in kicking his tires, he won’t have to travel far.
January 12th, 2012 at 9:05 pm
God, I hope we didn’t dump Hue just to pick up some run-of-the-mill, new Head Coach who ain’t gonna cut it with the personnel we have now to build around.
You need someone creative who can utilize the personnel around him. That’s one of the reasons that NE & other Organizations are doing so well now. They keep adjusting to the strengths of what they have (2 years ago for example they didn’t utilize TE’s at all, and now they are setting the standard at how to utilize them).
Hue was doing that with our offensive talent. Turning them from what I don’t think is a collection of extreme talent and making top use of it. I mean having a top 10 offense with Jason Campbell & Bruce Grads at QB is pretty damned impressive.
January 12th, 2012 at 9:05 pm
Would be interested in seeing Bowles at HC and Nolan at DC. Could also help the Raiders secure NT Paul Soliai in free agency.
This offseason is going to get interesting, for sure. Lots of potential scenarios.
January 12th, 2012 at 9:06 pm
And these Defensive coaches in GB are FAR FAR underperforming with the talent they have. Let’s get someone that is showing they can make good use of the talent they have…not just “what you’re familiar with” McKenzie
January 12th, 2012 at 9:07 pm
Winston Moss at HC and Dean Pees at DC is another combination I’d be very interested in.
January 12th, 2012 at 9:09 pm
Offensive coordinator is the big question mark here, though. Not sure who will be available to the Raiders. I think Al Saunders is their best bet, especially with the Raiders’ passing game finally being legitimate again.
January 12th, 2012 at 9:18 pm
4 TDs, 4 INTs in 4 wins. How much is he really helping in wins?
9 TDs, 12 INTs in 5 losses. Look how much he hurts in losses.
4th qtr in close games, 0 TD, 1 INT. That should say it all.
Last 2 minutes of half, 2 TDs, 3 INTs. 3 INTs in 2 minute drills?
In the months of Dec-Jan, 7 TDs, 8 INTs. When we needed a true leader, a “real” QB.
In divisional games, 8 TDs, 10 INTs (JC was top QB vs divisional opponent last season).
6 TDs, 7 INTs in 1st half (which means he’s hurting us early).
4 TDs, 7 INTs, 66.2 rtg in 4th qtr. This is our closer?
9 sideline INTs (supposed strong suit).
12 INts in opponents territory. Wasted scoring opportunities, especially with Jano’s range.
17 sacks. Statuesque
January 12th, 2012 at 9:20 pm
Down 30+ pts to Miami in the 4th qtr, 153 pass yds/ 2 TDs. He finished
with 273 yds and 2 TDs. That’s 50% of his pass yards and 100% of his TDs
AFTER the game was completely over. Down 30+ pts to GB in 3rd qtr, 121
pass yds/ 1 TD. He finished with 247 pass yds/ 1 TD. That’s nearly 50%
of his pass yds and 100% of his TDs AFTER the game was completely over.
That’s nearly a 1/4th of his TDs and 15% of his yardage in 3 qtrs of
ABSOLUTE GARBAGE TIME. Who cares if he has multiple TDs if his turnover
numbers exceed it? I’m not anti-Palmer but I’m sure not about to give
the guy a free pass, he had a horrible debut with the Raiders. Here’s to hoping he improves.

I’m tired of coordinators being considered for HC jobs. Capers could teach our guys how to take the ball away but what’s he going to add to the overall team that Jackson didn’t? If anything, I thought Jackson’s playcalling was the worst aspect of his tenure, and his preparation was suspect. So begone, sure.
What makes a coordinator qualified or justified for running the team? Just because those promotions happen (Peyton, McCarthy, Crenel, Lewis etc.) doesn’t mean every OC or DC can do it (Jackson, Capers, McDaniels, Morris, Frazier, Garrett, etc.)
Also, I hope they don’t remake the offense just because they feel like it. Alter it, improve it, innovate it, but don’t scrap it!
And finally: GET DIFFERENT CLEATS!! That’s the only cause for so many Raiders going down with foot injuries over recent years (esp. to WRs), although DMC’s seemed like a fluke.
January 12th, 2012 at 9:53 pm
A move to the 3-4 probably not wise at this point as we don’t have the personnel right now- too many 4-3 people currently under contract and not enough draft picks or trade bait to get enough players to effectively make the switch. Specifically we would need a legit 3-4 NT which is absolutely key to a 3-4 dline – they are hard to find – Kelly can’t be that guy and Henderson is done. Also, two of our best young Dlineman – Shaughnessy and Houston don’t exactly fit in a 3-4 and both are under contract. Seymour and Kelly are on the downside and likely done after 2012 and neither active enough anymore to be 3-4 D ends. Rather, we should stay with the 4-3 but drastically upgrade the 2nd half of the D – LB’s, Safeties and CB’s – get one or two rookies to take the place of Henderson in the DT rotation. McClain is a joke and the 4-3 needs a baller in the middle either we draft, acquire or put Curry in there – I think he would be better in the middle and just attack the ballcarrier. Our safeties are *way below average* esp Mitchell – he needs to go or bulk up 20 lbs to play OLB. Huff needs to move to CB and take CJ’s place in the lineup. We need a serious FS upgrade as well as someone to push Branch because he plays terrible at the worst times and misses way to many tackles and angles.
But the biggest improvement that we need and have needed for so many years is scheme in the secondary and I hope Moss and Perry will bring a modern scheme and we can finally get our D in the top half of the league and with the top 10 offense we currently have we are the best AFC west team by far.
January 12th, 2012 at 9:54 pm
[...] Bowles the other names that are linked to McKenzie’s pool of candidates are Winston Moss, Darren Perry and Dom [...]
January 12th, 2012 at 10:07 pm
3-4 or 4-3 doesn’t really matter. Whichever base scheme the Raiders decide to run, their needs are pretty similar:
1-tech DT or 0-tech NT
4-3 WLB or 3-4 ROLB
An interior lineman who can occupy blockers and plug gaps against the run; and a consistent playmaker on the blind side – someone who can help seal the edge and rush the passer.
January 12th, 2012 at 10:07 pm
Also, some help in the secondary, either at CB or FS.
January 12th, 2012 at 10:09 pm
Curry and Wimbley are the only decent LB’s we have and Wimbley is honestly a better pass rushing D end than an OLB on 1st and 2nd down. Curry had an on and off year (and career) so far but watching him play live and on tv he is by far the most athletic and violent player we have on defense and he totally outshined McClain in heart, intensity and play making. McClain is part of the ‘cancer’ on the team – he needs to go period – hate his aw shucks attitude and constantly slacking it and missing plays – and then makes a simple tackle and acts like he won the superbowl. One of he big reasons the defense has been so bad the last 2 seasons is he was given the keys and captainship and has consistenly sucked and cost us big plays not only his own play but his inability to get the team lined up. Hard to believe he is a downgrade from Kirk Morrison. Thomas Howard, btw is starting in Cinci and had a quality season – he should have never been traded but got in Al’s doghouse. Hoping that BS stops with the new era – the best players should always be on the field regardless of draft position or whether they kiss the owners ass or not.

Losing Hue is a bummer, but it is totally outshined with the notion that Al is no longer running the circus and more importantly the Defense, who has been consistently among the worst in the NFL for a decade. Hopefully McKenzie brings in Moss and the D is turned around this year – the offense we have now is scoring 24 a game and that is enough to win alot of games. Shift the Oline a bit, get Campbell/Barksdale in at RG/RT – get a veteran WR to replace Chaz, get Murph healthy and we’re good to go with either Palmer or Campbell at QB. As for RB, find a sleeper late in the draft (there’s alot of quality backs in the later rounds or undrafted – see Arian Foster). Let Bush go unless he plays for a reasonable amount. McFadden must be traded he killed us this year as Bush got tired when both him and Jones got hurt late in the year and we couldn’t run the ball anymore.

^^^^^^^^^
If they go with a defensive minded head coach (hopefully not Capers or Bowles) they keep Saunders as the OC to maintain offensive continuity or they hire Tom Clements as the OC.
There are not very many good OC’s and play callers out there in the coaching market IMO.

I just read a bunch of tweets from Steve Corkran. Is this guy on drugs? I don’t think he has a clue. Bring Jerry McDonald back full time. At least with Jerry you get some semblance of Raider reality. After reading Steve’s tweets, his opinions, I wonder if he ever really watches or follows the Raiders. Simply out to lunch.

January 12th, 2012 at 11:49 pm
JoeCool Says: #267
I read Mike Silver’s two articles about the firing of Hue the Magnificient, and have a problem with both Silver and his articles.
First of all Silver is little, skinny freak who looks like a total queer. The second thing is that he is too young to have witnessed the genius of AL Davis and the rise of a dynasty, when the Raiders were truly great.
Silver blathers on that the true firing of Huey Boy came from Mark, as a reaction to jealousy over Hue’s great charisma and abilities to lead the team. Silver also waxes ineptly that Mark was humiliated in public many times by AL, one of the instances Hue witnessed.
Firstly, Silver never witnessed these same outbursts from AL against Mark described above, yet expects us to rely on hearsay statements from parties Silver will not name.
Secondly, Silver describes AL as having been the owner of the Raiders, and passed on that ownership to Mark. Silver fails to realize that AL, and now obtensibly Mark and his Mother, own a 60% ownership interest in the Raiders, with minority owners holding 40%.
Also, Silver fails to mention that AL lived in dementia and was delusional his last 10 yrs at the helm of the Raiders and except for the Gruden anomaly, kept the Raiders in the cellar for the past 29 yrs. This is an example of genius that fell, and failed to reinvent or resurrect itself (AL Davis).
So, because Silver is from Seattle, has little or no understanding as to the Raiders, never witnessed Davis or the Raiders in their glory, since he was not born at that time, Silver should stick to writing about the Seahawks and Pete Carroll.
We don’t want him down here, like him down here: he needs to keep his narrow azz out of our business.
The firing to Jackson was expected, necessary and quietly praised throught the pro football world.
No matter, since AL died, (thank God for that) Mark is the man and all else is irrelevent at this point. Does it really make any difference who fired Jackazz Jackson, so long as he gone ??
January 12th, 2012 at 11:50 pm
All the trick plays that actually worked that the Raiders did this year were all because of Hue.
I also have to give some big props to Bones Fassel. He was involved in those trick plays as well that worked in special teams.

Read the article that Cork posted on Twitter. Not a huge Whitlock fan but loves how he puts Hue in perspective.
http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/hue-jackson-hubris-not-racism-got-him-fired-by-oakland-raiders-011211
“Yep, Silver established his reputation as arguably the best NFL writer in the country (Silver is far superior to Peter the King) by repeatedly going toe-to-toe with Al Davis. It’s comical watching Hue-bris feign undying loyalty and respect for Al Davis while collaborating with Davis’ top media enemy on stories that paint Al’s son as inept.”

i see where u say we should take a te. well i agree with u and i say we go after coby fleener from stanford. ill make a bold prediction and say he will be the gronkowski of this years draft.dude is a damn good te who can run. i think ausberry will be good and boss could be used more but i wouldnt hesitate to get fleener if he was available. myers is solid but coby is a playmaker. i also would endorse getting david shaw an interview for the hc.
January 13th, 2012 at 12:21 am
JoeCool Says: #272
Thanks for the tip, although I read Whitlock’s article too. I just feel that Hue was an abortion hired by another abortion (AL). And that is that.
Because of a bevy of draft picks, borne mostly toward the offense, of course when JaMarcus Russel was overturned then dismissed, almost any offense would have a boost. I don’t see Hue’s tenure as OC in 2010 having much effect, just like it have much effect this year.
However, these arguing points are minor: the main thing is that all the bad fruit derived from the poisonous tree (AL Davis) must be deposed.
After that anything is possible. Let’s just hope Mark D. is smarter and more wise than he looks. And for that matter, I wish the same on McKenzie, since so far firing Hue was no genius move, but mere common sense.

“within the Raiders organization there are a lot of beaten-down, worthless Al Davis flunkies who are scared McKenzie has been given the autonomy to scrub the place clean of beaten-down, worthless Al Davis flunkies.”
My goodness that just reads beautifully.
January 13th, 2012 at 2:30 am
Tucker is out; he is remaining DC for Jacksonville.
January 13th, 2012 at 2:32 am
The Silver article is so full of crap, It is all speculation on his part and it does not make sense.
He says someone told him Al kicked mark out of a meeting because Mark suggested a WR.
We needed a WR so it is not that far out of line. Al and Mark did not get along very well. That happens to tons of father son relationships and we all know Al was a very demanding A hole.
Al thought enough of his son to leave the Oakland Raiders to Mark and we all know how much Al loved the team.
I could pick apart Silvers story line by line
Silver sucks, he still hates the Raiders

January 13th, 2012 at 6:41 am
I floated the idea of Dom Capers when people were still trying to figure out if we should keep Hue.
Capers took an expansion team to the Championship game his second year.
I say hire him as the HC, Moss as the DC/assistant HC, and let Capers install the defense and discpline and groom Moss to be the next HC, in 2-3 years.
If Dom Capers is on our sidelines, and talking of creating discipline instead of building a bully, on reputation alone, it will shave off 2 penalties a game.
January 13th, 2012 at 6:43 am
Why not Capers?
A coach is as good as the roster he has.
Offensively, this would easily be the best team he’s coached.
A defensive minded coach what we sorely need on this staff. If it happens to be an older guy like Capers, why not?

Capers defense is at the bottom of the league and they have a tone of talent over there.
January 13th, 2012 at 6:49 am
That would have been funny as heck if Carolina and Jacksonville met after their only 2nd year in existence! It would have been known as The Expansion Bowl!
January 13th, 2012 at 6:50 am
That is per yards though right? Not scoring…not sure…
January 13th, 2012 at 6:51 am
Capers D is last in yards per game, but middle of the pack in points allowed, and leads the NFL in INT’s and turnovers.
They just won the bowl, and guys defensively I think lost that killer instinct for a few months.
I wouldn’t be suprised to see them dominate Eli on Sunday.
January 13th, 2012 at 6:53 am

January 13th, 2012 at 6:54 am

January 13th, 2012 at 7:07 am
GB always put up a ton of points so them being last in yardage is no real surprise as teams are constantly throwing trying to keep up.
They are pretty solid in some stats that we are out right turrible in.
Penalties, take aways, and pts scored.
January 13th, 2012 at 7:09 am
Leave Moss in GB to take over the DC job there.
I’d be more interested in seeing Capers bring over Trgovic as the DC.

But honestly, as long as we get someone competent, whomever is selected is not nearly as important as what McKenzie does to revamp the roster (especially on defense) and giving that HC the tools necessary to succeed.
Even the best coach can’t win with crappy players and a lousy coach will often win with the right roster.
Not saying a top notch coach isn’t important. It is. It could be the difference between a SB run or an early exit.
I’m confident we’ll land a competent HC. We’ll put together a solid staff.
Then it’s time to do something a little more difficult. Assemble a great roster of players with the talent, ability, dedication and desire to win.
Reggie, after you get the coaching staff resolved, I’ll know you’re on the right track when you dump Rolando McClain.

====================================
This is where I differ in judgement to you. A good coach will make the most of the players he has. Like Hue did with our offense. He worked out how to take DMac from a Bust to a Beast. He turned our WRs from can’t catch anythings to at least somewhat consistent (and despite they’re not more than some-what consistent, had an ever-changing QB and RB scene still made it a top 10 offense).
If we had a creative DC we could’ve at least been middle of the pack on defense and we would’ve WON with not a huge amount of talent.
Our best talent is on our special teams LOL.
Now Palmer is a legit QB finally. If Dmac is healthy we do have a good running back if he’s used correctly (if he’s used in a cut back scheme with zone blocking etc. he isn’t overly effective and was made fun of by everyone on this blog I think).
We have WRs that are a combination of “raw” and “potential”.
Think about it. You can make more out of them if you work out how to use them to their strengths.
January 13th, 2012 at 7:37 am
My issue with the dump (insert whoever) line of thinking is can we at least get someone better before we dump that player?
There is not a single guy on the roster who can hold McClain jock at MLB.
That’s not to say that he is a top player at all.
But who do we go with instead, Blackstock?
Sorry, I’m not with that.
January 13th, 2012 at 7:39 am
Hack a Howard was a horrendous decision!!
We were up a dozen with about 3 minutes to go in the first half, and even though we did that and Howard missed a lot of free throws than, we lost all offensive rhythm and turned it into a half-court game.
Than of course, after getting so much practice at the stripe, Howard made like 8 in a row in the 2nd half.
Not to mention the fact that it put the Magic in the penalty so everybody shoot free throws on fouls and put us in foul trouble all game.
Terrible coaching job.

I wonder if Art Shell is available. According to some of the early posters, third time is a charm!
He may be ready to get us back to the playoffs. Art went from one of the best NFL players to coach the game, to the bottom of the barrel, in all of Raiders history.
When it was all over Art could not even show his face around the building. Have not heard from Art ever since the 2-14 Jerry Porter feud.
Art should have been arrested for assault after he got Andrew Walters beat up for about 12 games. Talking about neglect and abuse. Aaron Brooks was the same way until he injured himself at home with a Louisville slugger just to stay off the field. LMBO!!! That team was bad!!!!

Wonder what draft it was when Mark told Al to take a WR and Al told him to beat it.
Obviously was somewhat recent, and obviously wasn’t the year we took DHB.
So did Mark not want Rolando and instead wanted Demarrius Thomas in 2010?
Or was it the D-Mac draft?
January 13th, 2012 at 7:48 am
Going to be interesting to see what happens to the TE position and Marcel Reece.
I thought it was odd that we kept 4 TEs last year and never went with a 2 TE set.
Gordon is a TREMENDOUS blocker and an adequate rec threat.
Ausberry could be a GREAT pass catching TE.
I’d bet that Boss is a casualty this offseason.

Could someone tell me what makes Palmer a “legit” QB? I just did not see legit during the season. He made some nice throws but than he made some INTs at the worse possible times. He had some pretty impressive throws here and there but I am just not sold on this guy.
January 13th, 2012 at 7:51 am
Chaz is gone.
Lou Murph seemed to get better as the season went along, and see no reason he shouldn’t be back as our #3 or #4 WR.
He makes beans and plays with fire, and has made clutch catches.
All year we tried those late in the game deep balls. We threw them up to Moore (Houston game), Chaz (Detroit), DHB (Jets) and Murphy (Bears).
Murphy was the only one who caught one.

There was no one available by the time he got the job, so I blame half of that hot mess on Al.

At first I hated the idea of Dom Capers as head coach, but I could warm up to it…the guy did about as good a job as possible given that his two previous head coaching gigs were with expansion teams. That’s a tough thing to do.
Not my first choice, but I could live with it if so.

January 13th, 2012 at 7:57 am
Dom Capers pass defense is near bottom but that may just be overinflated stats due to the fact that the offense puts up so many points per game that teams are usually forced to throw the rest of the game trying to play catch up. I dont think they have a reputation for being easily run on though,,,that being said I kinda have mixed feelings about D Capers, I’d take Winston Moss because I believe he’s been well groomed and prepared by McCarthy for past number of years, so I’m not concerned about him not being experienced. I think he’s ready.

“glass” Schilens is a FA and will be gone. Murphy never really recovered from his injury IMO. He’s regressed and this while last year he seemed like he was more interested in drawing a penalty rather than fight for the ball. I don’t think he will pass Reggie’s skill level requirements and will be traded for a late round pick.
January 13th, 2012 at 8:01 am
All the rumors/speculation of who the next HC seem to point to Reggie bringing his buds from Green Bay. If he wants to hire a HC who then can bring in his buds, why not hire Joe Paterno. He can bring Sandusky in as his “Offensive” coordinator. Where is John Herrera when you need him?

You got to start someplace. Gothel is OK if he doesn’t get hurt. This will be his last chance. Curry does some things well. In the middle as an ILB, he can stuff runs and be the middle blitzer. He’s strong & fast and by limiting his responsibilities you can play to his strengths.

===========================================
I hear you and I understand your reluctance to dump any player unless there’s someone better available or waiting in the wings.
Makes perfect sense.
But sometimes you’ve got to bite the bullet and make a statement. Sometimes you’ve got to send the message that regardless of your draft position, salary or perceived talent – there are standards that have to be lived up to, and if you fail to meet those standards – you’re HISTORY.
McClain has failed to hustle at all times. He’s a loafer. Give him credit for playing through his injured ankle, but he’s still a SLUG. I’ll never forget him jogging after Fred Jackson in Buffalo and I’ve seen numerous other plays where he appears to be giving less than 100%
McClain’s off field conduct was a slap in the face to the organization. Shows his head isn’t on straight and he’s not totally committed. Go play gangsta on someone else’s time.
Finally, McClain can’t play. Watch the Stafford whiff a few more times and ask yourself how much worse anyone else can be. It’s possible he might be better suited for 3-4. But there’s no way I’m switching to a 3-4 just to see if McClain can perform better in that mode. He’s not a guy I’m counting on or building around.
Hate to say it because I had high hopes for McClain, but he’s JaMoron 2.0 and the simple act of purging him is addition by subtraction – even if there’s not a suitable replacement immediately available.

McCain is a victim of being played out of position. He is a 3-4 ILB trying to play 4-3 MLB. That’s like saying a safety is a DB therefore he can be a CB. It just doesn’t work that way. Switching to a 3-4 IS the right thing to do not because RoMac will be better but because it’s a more effective defense against today’s offenses. It also better suits our total current Defensive personnel. Add 1 LB, 1 NT, water & let it grow with a DC that knows what he’s doing.

I’m not as enthralled with Curry as some on here.
Definately a good find for the pick we gave up, but he makes horrendous mental mistakes, and is the epitome of the dumb azz Raider player, celebrating tackles that resulted in 1st downs for the other teams, late hits and celebrating in the end zone.
January 13th, 2012 at 8:25 am
I remember the days when we had a awesome defense and a horrible offense… it was very frustrating. . We had Marc Wilson as our qb and Marcus Allen as our RB. .. players used to leave post it notes on Wilson’s locker letting him know that he sucked ass. . LOL. With all the rules favoring the offense now I doubt we can be that good again… I would rather have an avg offense and an avg defense… atleast we would have a chance…

Capers had 8 years as a HC.
Took his team to the NFC championship game once, and went 7-9 3 times.
Had some bad years, with the last years of his job going stale.
Bring him in for 2-3 years as the HC, let him install the defense that has made him a hot commodity in the NFL for 25 years, and groom Moss to be the HC after Capers.
January 13th, 2012 at 8:27 am
I remember in the Detroit game, on like a 2nd or 3rd and 3, Curry makes the tackle 4 yards down the field, and both HIM AND THE RB got up celebrating, lol.
Only Aaron Curry.
January 13th, 2012 at 8:29 am
Curry is a good player and he plays hard every down but he is not a guy who can cover very well.
When a play is in front of him he attacks as well as anyone but when he has to turn around he gets lost and beat.
This is why Seattle got rid of him.

How about being a loser as a HC, and as someone said last night: he is the defensive Norv Turner.
January 13th, 2012 at 8:31 am
I never get the feeling that Curry understands the situation in the game.
He celebrates tackles that result in first downs, he late hits QB when they are running out of bounds 10 yards before the marker on 3rd downs, mishandles his coverage responsibilities.
I think he would be awesome covering kickoffs though!!!
January 13th, 2012 at 8:33 am
Hue in KC is a dream for me.
He will sabotage that quality lockerroom that Romeo will create, and create his little pockets of Hue supporters, to try to become the next HC.

You can’t even call Dom Capers the defensive Norv Turner, Norv has won a lot more.
And nobody seems to be able to explain why the GB Defense, with plenty of talent, can’t stop anyone this year.

They seemed to do a good job of stopping us. I think you should be thankful anybody from Green Bay would even be considered, as they are light years ahead of us – and that isn’t a weak division they play in by far – were 1-2 against them (and we didnt face Cutler)

I never get the feeling that Curry understands the situation in the game.
He celebrates tackles that result in first downs, he late hits QB when they are running out of bounds 10 yards before the marker on 3rd downs, mishandles his coverage responsibilities.
============
I get the feeling he hits the s$%t out of people, and loves to compete. He is the only dude that showed any kind of fire during the 3 game losing streak. Moss or the next DC will set him right.

He may have fire, but that doesn’t mean he is playing a quality LB.
He made horrible mistakes in the San Diego game.

I am fully on board with Capers, and has been my #1 choice since the day after the season ended.
Would be a great, short-term hire.
We don’t need on the job training from our next HC!!

I’m not worried about Hue going to KC. Hue is a good OC, but he is nothing special IMHO.
January 13th, 2012 at 8:40 am
One other thought about Capers: None of the people bandied about for the job (Bowles, Moss, Philbin, Shaw) has HC experience at the NFL level.
Maybe McKenzie just wants to interview ONE guy who’s been an HC.
January 13th, 2012 at 8:40 am
Take care JB, and thx bro. That was too funny.
January 13th, 2012 at 8:40 am
If firing Coach Hue is supposed to send a message about the direction this club wants to head, then the firing better not stop with Hue. There are a few other coaches that need to go, and some players need to be let go. But if everything else remains and we get a not very good HC, well then, looks like we have progressed even worse that be for.
Is the DC waitin around for the new HC, or has he cleared out yet?

===========================
Todd Bowles; thought to be coaching material by Bill Parcells.
Dom Capers; coached the Panthers to an NFC Championship, but ended up flaming out with the Texans due to a disastrous QB draft pick and a damaged Tony Boselli
Winston Moss; had interviewed before, thought to be a candidate, but had never been a D.C., just a position coach
Gruden; too expensive, but would ignite the fan base
Cowher; too expensive, would want control, likely to stay in the booth – many think he had the benefit of a rookie QB, and the best defensive mind in the game, Dick LeBeau
Fisher; either Miami or St Louis will get him
any other candidates out there? – its either a re-tread or an assistant
you got a better candidate come with it – Capers knows match-ups, and can make adjustments…the only one I can think of is Pete Carmichael , Jr. of the Saints and/or Tom Clements (who developed Aaron Rodgers…could he re-boot Carson Palmer’s game to an elite level?)
January 13th, 2012 at 8:41 am
*Bowles DOES have have HC experience, but only three games’ worth. Capers has been an HC for multiple seasons.
January 13th, 2012 at 8:41 am
Capers record as a HC is way better than Hue Jackson’s was as an OC before he came here.
Hue was the OC for the 22nd and 27th ranked offenses before he came here.
Oh…he didn’t have the talent right, at Washington and Atlanta?
Well what kind of talent did Capers have, coaching expansion teams?
January 13th, 2012 at 8:41 am
If I had to pick either capers or moss. . I would go with capers as hc and moss as our DC…that wouldn’t be bad… groom moss to eventually take over..
January 13th, 2012 at 8:42 am
I’d bet that Boss is a casualty this offseason

Jhill, JFB & CJL:
Buffalo is a WR & TE away from winning that division imo
I hope we trade Boss and Ford over there for a 2nd rounder. that would be sweet!
January 13th, 2012 at 8:43 am
As long as we don’t hire Capers, I will be happy.
I rather hire Shaw over Capers.
At least Shaw is raw, do you never know, but Capers is a proven loser. Look at his record as a HC!!!
No to Capers!!!!!
January 13th, 2012 at 8:45 am
Well, the Bowles interview is today, and so is Fisher’s decision.
IF the interview goes well, and if Fisher picks St. Louis, does McKenzie offer Bowles the job now or wait and risk losing him back to the Dolphins?

Exactly.
Capers isn’t going to be around forever.
His 2nd year in Carolina, they almost went to the Super Bowl.
Give him 2-3 years to do his thing, and just don’t let it get stale like it did in Carolina or Houston, and bring in Moss to take the reigns for hopefully 7-10 years.
January 13th, 2012 at 8:47 am
No to Capers – proven loser – we deserve something far, far better.
January 13th, 2012 at 8:47 am
Wow.
You want to see an awful column, check out Jason Whitlock’s on Hue’s firing. Whitlock proposes that by Hue was somehow playing the race card by saying he thinks it was Mark Davis’ call to fire Hue rather than Reggie’s. The race card? Did anyone else in the media or Raider Nation even think that for a second? That’s completely out of left field by a writer who apparently can’t get his mind beyond the issue of race, I guess.
He also went on to call Hue’s trade for Carson Palmer the most selfish act in the history of sports. Come on, Jason, that kind of hyperbole that’d make Bill Walton blush.
Besides, as a life-long diehard Raider fan who has seen the likes of Kerry Collins, Aaron Brooks, Andrew Walter, Josh McCown, Daunte Culpepper, Kyle Boller and JaMarcus Russell (sorry Debo) quarterback this team, while — like virtually every other team — seeing at least half of your first and second round picks underperform or be flat-out busts (JaMarcus, Bob Gallery, RoMac, etc.) I am glad the Raiders made that trade and have been ever since the deal was struck.
The Carson Palmer trade was a great trade for the Raiders. Get over it.

Jimmy Johnson had a winning record. What happened when he went to Miami?
Bill Belichick had a losing record at Cleveland. What happened when he went to New England (and keep in mind we interviewed him before we hired Gruden)
How would Capers manage the clock, time outs?, could he make half-time adjustments? etc.

Yeah Reginald is obviously a deep thinker, not a talker. I suggest he have Madden sit in the HC interviews and ask the questions for him so as not to confuse the applicant or have the interview last 4 days.
I’m sure they have crayons at Raiders HQ…

Reggie’s a smart, bright guy. Not everybody who’s smart comes off well on camera.
My former lawyer was that way: in person, she was whip smart and witty. On camera, she was stiff and robotic.
Some people just don’t translate well on camera. Big deal. If we wanted someone who looked and sounded good on TV, we’d have hired Kim Kardashian.
January 13th, 2012 at 8:59 am
That LT that Curry laid out, did the exact same thing the week before, and probably will retire now.
The week before, McNeil played like 5 snaps and left the game.
Tried to give it a go the next week, and what, lasted two plays?
Curry finished off a guy that was barely standing.
January 13th, 2012 at 9:00 am
For me there’s only two ways to go here, If you dont bring Gruden back, you have to go with Bowles, IMO.

Hue in KC is a dream for me.
He will sabotage that quality lockerroom that Romeo will create, and create his little pockets of Hue supporters, to try to become the next HC.
I’m not worried about Hue going to KC. he is nothing special

O & JFB,
thanks for restoring the sanity!!
January 13th, 2012 at 9:02 am
Whoever the next HC/DC is, pretty safe assumption that our defense is going to be much more creative, and our defenders will be required TO THINK much more so than they have in the past.
Curry, and everybody else, must be up to the challenge.
January 13th, 2012 at 9:03 am
Is Wade Phillips available????????????????
Oh yeah, jack patera, makes a lot of fckn sense.
Ray Rhodes in new digs?? anyone?
Jim Caldwell, nope
Mike Martz, nope
Chuck Pagano, would be sweet for him to jump ship and come over here for our DC, but he’s around guys that know how to hit and make plays, so I doubt we could get him.
DC is still listed on Raider coaches.

If McClain gets out of place and screws up, people want him cut immediately.
When Curry does the same thing, people say “he isn’t a beatch though” and support him 110%.
Lame.
January 13th, 2012 at 9:04 am
Just fire missed the point, we need wild boar hunters that have no mercy….don’t matter if they are a rookie , old timer, big name player, punter or kicker. Hurt somebody . Wouldn’t j. Harrison make a great LB.
January 13th, 2012 at 9:05 am
I think Chuck B will be employed by the Raiders next season, as I said immediately after the season ended.
Probably move into some scouting gig.
January 13th, 2012 at 9:05 am
JFB,
Curry is one of the last guys we should be worried about right now. He might not be the smartest but you KNOW you are gonna get effort every week. Thats the difference. Get guys in there that will bring it EVERY week…

Will someone please tell Slolando that he plays for the Raiders and to stop doing the Mile High Salute after he makes a tackle. Thank you.
January 13th, 2012 at 9:07 am
Curry plays very hard yes he does shows a lot of enthusiasm but he gets beat when he has to turn around, plays behind him he gets beat on all the time which is why he was let go in Seattle. I do not doubt his energy or how hard he hits I doubt his ability to cover.
January 13th, 2012 at 9:08 am

I’ve heard people say, McKenzie will likely talk with Nick Saban about McClain and meet in the offseason after the legal stuff is over with and tell him he may likely be moved…many of the Madden-Wolf-McKenzie regime want to distance themselves from players of that ilk and get other players in…they didnt like how casual some of the players were down the stretch, and felt they were “coasting”.

Curry was in charge of holding the edge, and the Chargers ran a toss right to him, and he bit in hard to the middle, and let the guy jog for 25 yards, and end our season pretty much.

Not a big Capers fan but DC with an established offense may work. His specialty is on the D anyways. As for his HC record, he started 2 expansion teams. What did you expect? Both of them never had a QB during his tenure.

Not sure if he is up to the task.
January 13th, 2012 at 9:14 am
I think I’ll pass on Capers.
Your thoughts?
January 13th, 2012 at 9:14 am
Hue was fired because Mark and Reggie read this blog 24/7 and the overall consensis in here was that most all wanted him gone. While his loyalists were not as loud, the detractors pointed out all of Hues mistakes. His loyalists wanted him another year, and rightly so. But Mark and Reggie went with the squeaky wheel.
So my point is, if we get Capers and dont like him, one year on this blog and hes toast.
Remember, we planted the seed in Davis’ ear that HueJax was brought in here to undermine Cable, and lo and behold, Cable gets fired for bringing the team back to relevance. Great job guys.
I just wished some of you would have given Hue one more year. Mark and Reggie would have done that if Hue woulda had more support in here.

Anyone remember the almost trade of R. Moss for A. Rodgers? That could have really changed the complexion of the Raiders the last few years. Who knows where the franchise would be without the Jameatball setback. Oh well, Woulda, coulda, shoulda.
M.Flynn and Palmer competing for starting QB position in 12′ (We will have extra salary cap $$ after Mckenzie clean house.)

As for the offense, we need to plug in Wiz at C, and find us a vet LG or go w/ Hayer full time.

Can you step it up and work yourself into the starting line-up?
Or will you end up on someone’s elses practice squad.

He makes a ton of them. The problem is that he loses his cool at the drop of a hat.
On one hand, I’d LOVE his fierceness. He’s the polar opposite of McClain.
On the other hand…does a team that just set the all time record for penalties that will probably stand for decades really need another personal foul machine, particularly in today’s NFL when refs are ready to throw the flag for anything?

let me be clear im not into retreads, I would rather have a first time hc, but capers isnt awful. he basically worked with two expansion teams, and actually was decent in his first stop considering the circumstances. he would have far more talent at his disposal here in the town.
That being said I would rather have a younger fresh face, and a guy that truly relate to todays players. Enter winston moss, he has the raider roots, he is a linebacker, and i think he and big mack together would complete the circle. he also knows capers defense. Along with the fact that he has been asst. hc in green bay and comes in with the super bowl ring. he doesnt have to guess or speculate what its like when trying to motivate players, he can flash the jewlery and tell you exactly what needs to happen.
January 13th, 2012 at 9:37 am

True, he has a short fuse. But that guys is a pure boar hunter. The dude is fierce and flat out flies around. Maybe his temper can be sedated with the proper coaches and threats concerning his job security. To be honest I would rather have a LB being a thug ON the field and trying to kill people as opposed to one who tries to kill people OFF the field and is a waste of space.

Hue was fired because Mark and Reggie read this blog 24/7 and the overall consensis in here was that most all wanted him gone. While his loyalists were not as loud, the detractors pointed out all of Hues mistakes. His loyalists wanted him another year, and rightly so. But Mark and Reggie went with the squeaky wheel.
So my point is, if we get Capers and dont like him, one year on this blog and hes toast.
Remember, we planted the seed in Davis’ ear that HueJax was brought in here to undermine Cable, and lo and behold, Cable gets fired for bringing the team back to relevance. Great job guys.
I just wished some of you would have given Hue one more year. Mark and Reggie would have done that if Hue woulda had more support in here.

He comes off as a double talking polititian contradicting himself in the same sentence. If he thinks the way to improve our Defense is to switch to a 3-4 with a DC that currently leads a D that ranks 31st in the League….
OUR defense ranks better than that BUT the caveat is GBs D generates turnovers like mad. 27 picks and the nearest team has 18.
They are +20 in tturn over diff and thats huge BUT its due in part to a prolific Offense that forces teams to throw and play catch up.
This would be a sh*t move especially considering the secondary we have.

Carson Palmer would kill that dude after about the third or fourth pick. Cassel couldnt stand that guy. I remember him yelling at Bobby Wade, and Wade yelled back. That dude is a disaster, even as an assistant. If he was OC, i’d have him up in the booth, not on the field.

If Reggie McKenzie and the coaching staff he hires fix one thing they will cruise to a division title.
The hidden yards.
How many yards were lost last season when they were called back due to penalties? 1000?
How many drives (more yards) and first downs were DOA when the went from 2nd and 5 to 2nd and 15, 3rd and 4 to 3rd and nine due to penalties?
O Ranking and D Ranking can be meaningless unless the hidden yards (penalties) are rectified.
you’re taalking 100 to 150 yards of field position every game.

Dom Capers record in his first 2 seasons as Head Coach, all the way back to 95-96: 19 W-13 L.
Capers next 6 seasons as HC: 29 wins 67 losses.
I don’t know man, some guys just don’t have it.

Thx for posting the DA list bro.
I would take ML or Hillis, if we couldn’t keep bush.

Mike Tolbert would be a low-cost option to replace Bush if Bush leaves.
Seahawks will pay ML. Hillis could be an option.
Both Hillis and Tolbert are big backs who can still move in the open field, and can catch the ball as well. That’s exactly the role they’d need to fill if the Raiders lose Bush.

And Hillis & DMC were teammates in college..

Was sick to D of watching Morrison play worse than McClain and leading the team in tackles 5-7 yds down field.

I REALLY like Dan Connor at MLB/ILB. He can also play WLB pretty well, too – filled in admirably for Thomas Davis two seasons ago.
Manny Lawson would be a solid low-cost option at OLB.
Brandon Carr would also be high on my list.
Michael Griffin would be an option if Huff gets the axe, but Griffin isn’t a HUGE upgrade by any means. Might also have to outbid the Titans, which wouldn’t be worth it.
Aubrayo Franklin is solid if the Raiders can’t get Soliai and fail to find an NT in the draft.

McClain is young, and I’m willing to give him another year to develop better. He had 2 different HCs/ DCs in his first 2 seasons in the NFL. That can’t help him switch from 3-4 played at college to our different schemes.
Curry I think would be better at SLB, but I’m willing to give him one year with a good system. He was a great player at college, and I know that doesn’t mean he will be great at the next level, but I think he played well enough to earn a full season do he can be evaluated better.
January 13th, 2012 at 10:08 am
Dom Capers doesn’t seem like the right fit for the “new” Raiders organization. We need an up-and-coming person whom we can hopefully keep around for several years. Someone with experience but not the losing record of Capers.
Shaw seems like a good choice or someone from GB. There are others out there that could probably make the best use of our talented players and maybe cut the penalties.

Funny thing happened yesterday evening. I stopped by a local bar her in the town last night and a bunch of raider fans where there, waiting for the w’s game to start. We started talking raiders and this was the street level consensus in oakland.
1.) most liked hue jack in the beginning, but didnt like a few of the blunders ha made post davis sr. Hot buttons where, the palmer trade, throwing players & staff under the bus in his post season about face, benching DHB, Boss not on the field. Most where happy to see him fired in the end, and agreed that he was far better with davis sr in charge.
2.) palmer is garbage, throws too many picks, and doesnt seem to inspire confidence in his team mates.
3.) Jc was disrespected. he showed steady improvement and would have continued to grow and improve. 8 of the 10 people I spoke with said they favored jc and wish he was here instead of palmer.
4.) defense was horrible and chuck b needs to go
5.) fired up to see big mack in charge, and would love to see him bring home winston moss.
6.) they like what davis jr is doing so far, and shows similarities with his pop.
* note, the only two white dudes in the group favored palmer over jc.

Dom Capers.
Hardly an exciting choice.
48-80 record as Head Coach, 1 winning record in 8 seasons and that was back in 1996 or 15 years ago.
And nobody seems to be able to explain why the GB Defense, with plenty of talent, can’t stop anyone this year.
Capers is without a doubt a capable guy, much more qualified than any other GB assistant but I doubt he’s the answer.
Now if they bring Dom Capers as HC and Winston Moss as DC so he can actually call a defense for the 1st time and get ready to take over in a couple of years, it would make a little more sense.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Dom Capers went to Green Bay in Jan 2009 and they had the fifth best defense in 2010.
This year they’ve had injuries and other problems.
We ought to remember though that the NFL ranks defenses based on yards and not on points scored or games lost.
Dom Capers is a guy to consider seriously for the job of head coach.
Most of all I want a guy who has experience as a head coach.
The last three head coaches were all trainee head coaches.
Bring someone who knows what he’s doing from day one.
The idea in your last paragraph is something that should be considered: Dom Capers as HC and Moss as DC.

This could explain some of the behavior in here.
From Jason Whitlock:
“within the Raiders organization there are a lot of beaten-down, worthless Al Davis flunkies who are scared McKenzie has been given the autonomy to scrub the place clean of beaten-down, worthless Al Davis flunkies.”
My goodness that just reads beautifully, doesn’t it? Scrub away, Reggie.

==================
silver and black is correct on this part it is where we get the word estrogen. They were fertility cults that worshiped a sex goddess. Every so often the held orgies that were both homosexuality pedophilia, and necrophilia where practiced as part of the rituals.
They were often associated with the rabbit as one of their main symbols, this is where the easter bunny and easter egg come from. this is why you put artificial grass in the easter basket because grass is also synonymous with spring.
These cults were absorbed into the roman catholic umbrella and allowed to practice their cult rights, they only are masked behind so called christian holidays. Ever wonder why the symbol for born again is the fish? same deal

see post 689 that is just Easter there are many more. I can’t believe I have to explain this to you but guess what your religion is not that old as far as religions go. So when Christianity started they had to borrow ideals from other existing belief systems that were in place.
This information comes from many different historical writings and the fact that you are ignorant to it suggests that you sir are the one that needs to bone up on the history of your OWN religion not me.

Christmas is descended from Winter Solstice, as are many other wintertime holidays (Chanukah comes immediately to mind).
Christianity took these early pagan holidays and repurposed them, similar to how Kwanzaa was selected to coincide with the traditional Christmas season.
There’s nothing new here.

try leaving the pseudo intellectual rationalizing / bashing of deuce deuce out of this blog. i know he can ball for hisself…
in reality aren’t we all very small insignificant beings feeling very self-important and lost in a huge universe? explain it away all you want…but when the time comes to die i hope you are right with your maker and have accepted Jesus Christ as your savior.

Keeping AL saunders has become essential and I see most bloggers agree we need to keep the continuity going at least on O. As far as head coach whether its O or D minded coach he needs to be a motivator a leader of men which some say about Moss. We can’t hire a plain jane coach players today don’t respond well to those type(Norv,Wade Phillips). I believe we had that with Hue people might have not like what he said at final presser but it was the truth and IMO the players needed to hear it and needed it said PUBLICLY so they could feel embarrassed in front of world like us fans were. U know how much schit I had to hear from 9er fans about us being 7-4 and not make the playoffs while they glide in. Embarrassing.

I don’t really think we should go after Capers as HC, or any other recyled head coach, including Cowher and Gruden. The guys have been out of the league for a few years now, and the game changes rather quickly every year. Give me a coach that is a young, cutting edge coordinator-like we thought we were getting out of Hue-just without the extracurricular BS.
I like the discipline one of those coaches might provide, but just not the forward thinking creativity. Its not a matter of the game passing by people like Capers, Gruden, Cowher, Fisher (who is now taken), Philips. But they won’t change what the NFL is. Championship teams are ones that change the game, not just try to keep up.

Capers as DC yes but no as a HC. He’s a former Marine and a disciplinarian hard ass . That doesn’t play as a HC. Just glad Fisher and his mullet wasn’t in the running.
