NFL Network: Mornhinweg to talk with Raiders
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Tuesday, January 17th, 2012 at 2:19 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The NFL Network’s Jason LaCanfora is reporting Philadelphia Eagles assistant coach Marty Mornhinweg will interview for the Raiders’ vacant head coaching job.
Add Mornhinweg’s name to an unconfirmed (by the Raiders) list that includes Denver Broncos coordinator Mike McCoy and Dennis Allen, New Orleans offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr. and Green Bay assistants Winston Moss, Dom Capers, Joe Philbin and possibly Tom Clements.
Oakland’s first reported candidate, Todd Bowles, is getting a second interview with the Dolphins, the NFL Network reported.
Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie has kept a low profile throughout the search. According to the Denver Post, McKenzie will interview McCoy and Allen in Denver Wednesday. McCoy, according to ESPN, will have his second interview with the Miami Dolphins Thursday.
So far, the Raiders have showed no inclination to pursue a big-ticket head coach unless McKenzie has tested the waters through backchannels on coaches such as Bill Cowher and Jon Gruden.
It was never the style of Al Davis to pay huge bucks to coaches, and both Gruden and Cowher would like command the sort of five-year, $35 million deal Jeff Fisher got in St. Louis. McKenzie gets to make the call on the head coach, but Mark Davis gets to decide how much money to spend. Following the press conference announcing McKenzie’s hiring, Mark Davis said he hadn’t talked to McKenzie about a budget in terms of restructuring the personnel department, and, presumably, to hire a head coach.
If the Raiders are budget-conscious when going after a head coach, they’ll probably out of the mix for top-tier coordinators as well. Defensive coordinator Mike Nolan went off the market Tuesday when he was hired by the Atlanta Falcons.
Mornhinweg has two years head coaching experience with the Detroit Lions in 2001-2002. The former 49ers offensive coordinator (1997-2000) was hired by Andy Reid in Philadelphia in 2003 and has been the offensive coordinator and assistant head coach since 2006. Both Reid and Mornhinweg were on Mike Holmgren’s staff with the Green Bay Packers when McKenzie was starting out in the personnel department.
In two years with the Lions, Mornhinweg was 5-27. Capers, the only other reported candidate with head coaching experience, was 18-46 with Carolina and Houston.
Curious to see if McKenzie is interested in Jack Del Rio, who grew up in Hayward as a Raiders fan and hasn’t been getting much of a sniff for current openings. Del Rio was 68-71 from 2002 through 2011 with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Indianapolis Colts are also in the market for a head coach as of Tuesday, having fired Jim Caldwell.

Someone mentioned Morhinweg.
================================================
I did. He was a hot mess when he coached the Lions. Not sure what to make of Big Mac interviewing him now. He IS a good coordinator, but I don’t know about him as the head guy.

I guess that’s where Reggie’s gut comes into play.

January 17th, 2012 at 2:24 pm
Yeah, it wasn’t me who originally mentioned Mornhinweg, sorry guys.
I like that McKenzie is interviewing a LOT of different candidates. 4-3 defensive guys (Allen), offensive guys (McCoy, Philbin, Mornhinweg, Carmichael), some 3-4 defensive guys (Bowles, and soon Moss and Capers)… this is a good search thus far.
I’m not doing backflips over some of the options, but why not bring them in for interviews, if only to leave no rock unturned? I’m sure McKenzie wants to make the RIGHT decision more than a quick one, and the only way to do that is to explore all possible options.

Reggie is “gut” feeling kind of guy so you are right he is meeting with a lot of guys and is waiting to feel the chemistry or like Len said a Ding Ding Ding moment while interviewing.
Whatever the case the guy is working very hard right now looking for a HC.

During the 2001–2002 seasons, Mornhinweg was the head coach of the Detroit Lions, where he compiled a 5-27 record.
The most notable moment in Mornhinweg’s history as a head coach came during a 2002 game against the Chicago Bears. The game went into overtime, and the Lions won the toss. However, Mornhinweg felt that having the wind in his favor was more important than getting the ball, despite having as his kicker Jason Hanson, who hit a then-NCAA record 62-yard field goal in his college days at Washington State University. He elected to kick rather than receive. As it turned out, the Lions never got the ball; on the Bears opening drive, Chicago scored a field goal to win the game. The decision prompted fed-up Lions fans to refer to the coach as “Marty Moron-weg”. Mornhinweg’s decision was that season’s runner-up for the Terry Award to Dwayne Rudd’s premature helmet toss celebration that cost his Cleveland Browns a victory.

Green bay gave Winston Moss the “assistant Head Coach” title after Al Davis interviewed him so they could keep him on staff.
Says a lot that they went through that kind of effort to retain a good coach. Unlike When Hue left Baltimore they basically said don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.

Are you guys seriously suggesting that McKenzie is wasting valuable time and resources doing these interviews just for the heck of it?
There may be some “feeling out” in terms of who would be interested in a coordinator position should they not be hired as head coach, but to suggest that this is merely being done to “work on his interview technique” is maybe one of the most ridiculous things I’ve read on this blog in quite some time. And that’s saying something.
January 17th, 2012 at 2:54 pm
I hope Wiley stays along with Big Wiz, wouldn’t mind seeing Saunders stick as well. All the other coaches can “kick rocks”. The only one Im on the fence about is Woodson, could stay or go, wouldn’t bother me either way.
January 17th, 2012 at 2:54 pm
I have never really been a fan of Carlisle, Barnes or Satele.
Just how I feel but I do know our line has been good over the past 2 years.
January 17th, 2012 at 2:54 pm
I knew this would happen. It didn’t make sense to fire Hue, unless they were going to hire a LEGIT proven head coach, like Gruden, Fisher or Cowher, because it is slim pickens out there for talented assistants who can actually be head coaches.
The only two I like Winston Moss or Saints OLine coach Aaron Kromer.
Otherwise, the rest of these yahoos McKenzie is interviewing to be rookie head coaches, just stinks!
Hey Mark Davis and McKenzie, if you truly have a COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE, than due the right and smart thing and pay JON GRUDEN what he wants to come back and you will see SEASON TICKETS shoot through the roof and see the team go for a super bowl within 3 years!
January 17th, 2012 at 2:56 pm
I agree that Barnes sucks and Satele is very inconsistent he shows up some weeks and others get bullied.
Carlisle is staying however I think he did pretty well this year.
January 17th, 2012 at 2:56 pm
46.
When I wrote this I did have in mind he may want to keep what he learns for down the road. But yes, Im sugguesting he might be doing some of this for himself. I’m sure here was advised to go talk to as many coaches as you can.
And would you think a team would bring in a black coach to interview when they all ready have a white coach in line for the job? Oh! wait!
January 17th, 2012 at 2:56 pm
Too many quality assistants being taken off the table for us wait for the sake of interviewing a slew of potential candidates. My feeling is that we has already made his selection and if that is the case then let’s go before we are stuck with hitting up the B&B and USFL.

If Gruden is paid the same amount as Harbaugh, he will turn the Raiders around just like Harbaugh did for the Niners, plus Gruden would have a legit front office and personnel structure here instead of dealing with old man Al all the time. There is a first time for everything.
Ooops…I also wanted Harbaugh as the Raiders coach two years ago and guess what…old man Al screwed that up also!

Reggie McKenzie has been in the front office of the Green Bay Packers for 18 years. If he needed on the job training I don’t think he would have been touted as ready to be a GM by the people that recommended him for the job. To suggest that he is doing these interviews to get OJT is just not reasonable. More than likely he’s lining up coordinator candidates for his new head coach.
I don’t need to smoke anything. You need to think.

Unless he hires Gruden as head coach, or Moss or Kromer.
Than getting rid of Hue would have been a mistake.
At least Hue was DYNAMIC!
Guys like Gruden, Hue, the Harbaughs, McCarthy, Tomlin are DYNAMIC coaches.
Moss and Kromer I consider, potential DYNAMIC coaches as well.

“In two years with the Lions, Mornhinweg was 5-27. Capers, the only other reported candidate with head coaching experience, was 18-46 with Carolina and Houston.”
That doesnt mean much. Bill Belicheat had a horrendous record when he was coaching the Browns. He had a 36–44 record as coach of the Browns.

THE Raiders spent 12 years in LA, but were born & have spent 39 years in Oakland. Mark Davis says he wants to build a new stadium in Oakland, but if it can’t get done he’ll move the team to Santa Clara, or LA or where ever he can get a new stadium for the Raiders, LA Times is doing a poll to see how many people want the Raiders in LA. Please vote no & tell another Real OAKLAND RAIDERS FAN

Reggie McKenzie has been in the front office of the Green Bay Packers for 18 years. If he needed on the job training I don’t think he would have been touted as ready to be a GM by the people that recommended him for the job. To suggest that he is doing these interviews to get OJT is just not reasonable. More than likely he’s lining up coordinator candidates for his new head coach.
I don’t need to smoke anything. You need to think.
——————————————-
How many coaches has he interviewed in greenbay? How many has he hired? OK, stop it man, your trippin bout nuthin, chill. Believe it or not everything he does will be on the job training, he is a rookie GM you know.

It’s a great day to be a Raiders fan (looking at coaching candidates). Isn’t it?!
ReggieMcK is doing a very good thing by interviewing so many EXCELLENT coaches. They all may not be excellent HC’s, but they are all excellent at their basic jobs: coaching football.
Much like Mark Davis saying, “I know what I don’t know”…Reggie’s likely to run across an idea or two in his interviews that spark his curiosity. Having a wide-ranging fountain of knowledge to tap is an education in itself.
What if he comes across someone who knocks the perceived favorite into 2nd choice? I can only assume, after all the searching, that whomever is chosen as HC will be an innovative mind…with an ability to communicate (read: motivate) with today’s players.
Gotta have faith in ReggieMcK getting to know enough about all the candidates to be sure he’s comfortable with his choice.

January 17th, 2012 at 3:18 pm
Come on MAN!!!! Gruden really?
Lets be real how many openings have there been for Head Coach since Gruden got fired by Tampa Bay?
Let me tell you more than 15 at least and just how many has he interviewed for ZERO!
Why is that?
Either he does not want to come back into coaching and everyone knows that so they do not offer him an interview.
OR:
Every owner knows how he likes veterans and will fill your roster with aging players and when he leaves it will take you 5 years to rebuild.
So take your pick it has to one or the other as there have been at least 5 openings a year in the league since he was let go in Tampa!

“I don’t know what kind of guy he is now but one would think that is long behind him and he might be a good example for guys like McClain to help them get on the right track.”
_______________________________________________________
You simply can’t count on that. The incident speaks of a temper, an anger he couldn’t control, perhaps something he has addressed since.
However, most disturbing is that the incident speaks to a sadism that manifested itself. Never count on that disappearing from an individual. It may be sublimated, but that’s about it. It will always lie under the surface.
The role he has now, that of assistant coach, doesn’t have the pressures, the demands of that of a head coach. Football is violent, and the demands on players and coaches are great.
I wouldn’t count on that personality issue not re-surfacing, even if through other behaviors.
January 17th, 2012 at 3:28 pm

First of all, it made perfect sense to fire Hue.
McKenzie has a vision for rebuilding not only the team, but the organization. Hue was a loose cannon. He had to go. Period.
As far as Gruden and Cowher go, with all of the HC vacancies in the league, why haven’t we heard their names mentioned as being courted or interviewed?
If they wanted to get back into coaching, they’d be coaching.
Let it go.

If they have Gruden 5 million a year to work with McKenzie and and have legit football structure with good football coaches, than that would a GREAT business/PR move and a GREAT football move!

This GM is all over the place. Names are comming from everywhere. I thought he would have an idea where he wants to take this team to many names have been mentioned what direction does he want this team to go. All these names floating out there are all different kind of coaches so it tells me are new GM has no clue. All these other teams that need coaches are aiming for a certain name a certain person. Not us all over the map sure hope this don’t turn out bad. This team was almost over with the rebuilding stage just fill in certain parts of this team couple coaching replacements and we would be there. I don’t want to got another rebuilding stage.

mr davis wanted no part of gruden from that point on.
gruden had no emotion after the tuck fck game on the plane ride home because he knew he was moving on.

January 17th, 2012 at 4:03 pm
I think the difference between the teams that have made up their minds or that are only focusing on one or two guys, and the Raiders, is that those teams have the same (failed) decision makers pulling the trigger.
The Rams have been terrible forever. Buccaneers have been in steady decline since Gruden took over (not since he left, there’s a distinction there). Gene Smith in Jax has made how many winning decisions? Panthers? Dolphins?
The Raiders have a new GM. He comes to Oakland from one of the most NFL’s most successful franchises over the past 20 years, and has been there through all of their coaching and personnel transitions. He’s doing, as RaiderLen says, his due diligence, and I would venture a guess that he’s getting a feel for prospective coordinators while he’s at it. Different ballgame altogether.

I have to wonder if when Gruden wanted to come back in ‘09, was it to work with Al. Would Gruden still want to come back to the Raiders without Al here? Some would say yes, but Im not so sure. I think Gruden now knows what he had in Al Davis. What do you think Mack-Madden?

So it is safe to assume that had Chucky never flirted with ND, that ADavis never would have soured on him and he’d still be our coach?
$$$$$$$$$$
mr davis was ready to move on from gruden dink and dunk offense anyways.
even tho gruden won, it was bothering him.
gruden attitude during his last season made him no longer welcomed inside the raider organization.
he is not and will not be coming back in any capacity.
and no one wants him back…including me

I don’t know RaiderLen, but this is not working for me:
In two years with the Lions, Mornhinweg was 5-27. Capers, the only other reported candidate with head coaching experience, was 18-46 with Carolina and Houston.

I wanted Jackson gone after a dismal 8-8 rookie season. The Colts fired Jim Caldwell even tho he took the Colts to a Super Bowl his rookie season. It is tough out there.

No doubt.
Caldwell is “collateral damage” to regime change.
Irsay is rebooting the Colts.
New GM, New Head Coach, Andrew Luck etc….

Irsay is most likely drunk again. He is probably dialing Stanford University right now to see if Jim Harbaugh will consent to an interview.

I was surprised no one here was/is excited about Carmichael from the Saints.
He is OC of one of the most prolific offenses in the league, instituting a great balance of pass AND run.
A quiet guy by all accounts with the media but a strong, respected coach in the lockerroom.
He called the offensive plays for New Orl. since Payton went down with the leg injury.

Gruden does not want to coach if he did he would be doing it already.
Why is that so hard for people in here to comprehend?
============================================
Maybe after leaving not one but TWO NFL franchises as smoldering wreckages, I think it will be awhile before someone offers Gruden another. I mean if your kid took the keys to your brand new Maserati and set it off a cliff, jettisoning at the last second to save himself, would you hand him the keys again?
Notice the teams in the NFL final four. That final lst half drive by the NYG was such a thing of beauty. That was amazing. Those players and that coaching staff, live, breath and die football. They knew exactly what they were doing. Us? Our Q is passed out on the couch with a bottle of codeine syrup stuck to his hand while our HC is getting his nails done.

I agree. If we cant get Gruden back which I doubt, Bowles sounds like a no nonsense individual. I am not sold on Moss,Capers,Mornhinweg. This Pete Carmichael Jr. sounds interesting, does anyone have any info on him?
January 17th, 2012 at 4:43 pm
173. Agree. Other teams draft players that “live, breath and die football” and we draft players who run fast and look pretty at the combine. Reggie has said that he prefers big, fast and strong and there is nothing with that (don’t want slow, fat and retarded) as long as he also considers the mean, nasty and live and die football as well.
January 17th, 2012 at 4:45 pm
Mckenzie has said that he does like the typical type of raider player but he also said he wants people who wants to be there and has a passion for the game.

Having played, I think Reggie has a leg up on Al in sizing those attributes up.
January 17th, 2012 at 4:52 pm
Bowles doesn’t seem as appealing with Nolan going to Atl.
Since our biggest need is clearly fixing the defense, Capers as HC and Trgovic as DC seems like the best combo to get that done.
Our offense has enough talent to win the division.
What defensive coordinator could any of these names mentioned bring along with them to fix the D?
January 17th, 2012 at 4:53 pm
Has Rich Gannon ever said anything about entering the coaching ranks? I think we would be a great QB coach. Probably end up as an OC.

Well he certainly wants guys that LOVE the game of football. Peyton Manning once said at an awards banquet, “hey, don’t tell anyone this, but I would play this game for free.” He would. So would Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Ray Lewis, Justin Smith, Jon Vilma. We get guys like Jamarcus, Rolando, McFadden, Murphy….
January 17th, 2012 at 4:55 pm
Im very interested in what Mckenzie plans on doing to get us more draft picks….The guy will get us a draft picks will he get us a 1st rounder???Probally not but he will end up getting us a 2nd or 3rd round pick…. It also looks like we’ll be doing some moving in free agency… I just want a coach already..
January 17th, 2012 at 4:56 pm
It seems like Todd Bowles can wave a magic stick above a DB’s head and he becomes a pro bowl player. That can’t be all bad.
January 17th, 2012 at 5:00 pm
Don’t expect draft picks. Expect undrafted guys to come in here and compete. Ryan Grant and John Kuhn their starting backfield went undrafted. Tramon Williams the “other” corner who played probably better than Woodson the last year is undrafted. Tony Romo was undrafted. James Harrison was undrafted. You get the idea.
January 17th, 2012 at 5:01 pm
IMO I dnt think we should switch to the 3-4 and here is my reasoning Lamar Houston would be most effective as a 3 tech DT I believe he may be able to come close to ten sacks in a 3-4 scheme he would just tie up blockers which to me is a lost of value the same can be said of Matt Shaunessy and Tommy Kelly. In a 4-3 defense those same players are playmakers. Dez Big john and Seymour would benefit from the 3-4 but they are older guys except Dez and won’t be around much longer so we might as well maximize the talent of lamar and matt. Anyone agree or disagree?
January 17th, 2012 at 5:03 pm
Everytime Routt get’s a PI, Bowles should beat him with a stick rite on the field…McClain misses a tackle or gap Bowles should run on the field and hit McClain rite in the stomach with a stick…When Giordano whiffs and try to tackle without arm Bowles should take a stick and break both of his hands….Im tired of the stupid little discipline

I have no doubt Gruden would spark season ticket sales. I have serious doubts he’d be able to spark NFL players like he once did…Not For Long, anyway. I wonder how he’d interact with CPalmer — a big thing to consider.
Gruden getting all the GM power in his next gig?? Not very likely…unless that gig’s a college program. He has a record of using successful seasoned vets, and clashing with younger pros. He may be best suited as a college coach, bringing a flailing program back from the depths.
Gruden isn’t a professional team-builder, he’s a good coach with a fiery personality…and that sells sound-bites more than anything. He was good for the Raiders. But…he also owes his whole Chucky-linked public persona/cult following to Raiders fans. And that’s the problem…he’s a guy who likes to turn on that persona for the cameras a bit too much after awhile. We just got rid of a guy like that.
NO to Gruden.
And, NO to any previous HC with a losing record! I would prefer a first-timer over a failed re-tread.

No battle with Gruden from me, troll. He did good. He went away. I don’t like the sideshow that comes with Gruden the caricature. If we want cartoon-like personalities to be HC, we could try guys like Rob Ryan, too.
Keep it simple…keep it to football, not TV-personality, and rebuild the Raiders while winning the division in the 2012 season.
January 17th, 2012 at 5:22 pm
McKenzie’s not interested in Gruden anyway because Gruden will want control. McKenzie’s going to run the team in Green Bay’s model. How many times does Jerry have to say it? In Green Bay, McCarthy has no control over personnel. Just the coaching staff, game planning, depth chart, basically everything on the field. That’s what we’re going to do.
January 17th, 2012 at 5:23 pm
Hayes, you know what they say. If you really don’t care, why do you talk about it so much? That’s a pretty long write up on Gruden’s “cons” for having no beef with him. Know what I mean?
January 17th, 2012 at 5:24 pm
Gruden was a good fit for those teams of the past he had the players to fit his O which is west coast can’t see CP3 in that style offense which is why wouldn’t want any offensive coach from GB. Keep the keep Al Saunders campaign going.
January 17th, 2012 at 5:25 pm
I’m not familiar with intricate details of any gun incident Winston Moss had, but I’m willing to bet it wasn’t as stupid as McClain’s incident.
January 17th, 2012 at 5:28 pm
Is it just me or are the leftover Davis shills campaigning for a weak minded head coach that can be pushed around (Saunders), in anticipation of Trask, Herrera, and the rest of Al’s lackeys getting their power back?

It’s amazing how much racism there is anymore amongst what is supposed to be the most diverse fan base in the league. Every bad thing about this organization in recent years has come from the top. Why should I believe this doesn’t? Maybe now we know Herrera’s real problem with Kawakami. BTW, Herrera= probably more Spanish lineage than Raza.

Gruden has a good relationship with Madden also and came up in the Green Bay organization and under the Holmgren coaching tree when Wolf was the GM.
==============================================
If your goal is a Super Bowl, then Gruden is the last guy you’d want. No coach returning to his old team has ever gotten to the Super Bowl, or anywhere near it. Even winning records are rare.
If you want mediocrity, go with Gruden.
If you want success, go with a new guy — a Gruden in Training, if you will.

I should pick him up at the airport and take him skiing. Don’t need to waste his time driving to Visit with theDonka coaches as they both suck!

Maybe Gruden does it for the glory?
who cares.
Gruden ONLY won SB cause he had the Raiders playbook in his back pocket.
Closest he got with Raiders was AFC championship.
I remember now…..
4th and 1. Raiders are averaging 5 freaking yds a carry for the game.
Our D couldnt stop Brady.
So Gruden punts. We lose.
Right up there with Hue’s red zone offense.
dick.

Moss is going to be the HC Reggie is just interviewing all these guys so it looks like he wasn’t going to hire Moss all along which was his plan from the gate.
January 17th, 2012 at 6:19 pm
I trust Reggie, but I don’t know about Winston Moss. There’s really nothing to analyze, except Reggie’s judgement. I don’t see any record to speak of.
January 17th, 2012 at 6:20 pm
I want a coach who has some balls and will lay them out on the table. A coach who isn’t afraid to get up inside someones ass when he has to. Can’t stand players who go soft and mail it in, but what is worse is a HC that doesn’t have the mustard to slap it on his johnson and hammer it home to these guys. Please Reggie, hire a real HC. No penuss envy coaches, please.
January 17th, 2012 at 6:21 pm

I am not racist, just don’t want a black head coach. HC needs to lead by example, and the example of the typical black man is not the example we need to set for our you g team. If more blacks lived and acted right this wouldn’t be a problem.
O yeah, and for you small brained folks their is a higher % of blacks on welfar than any other race. It’s called per capita. Don’t get mad just cause you are colored and eaten Gov. Cheese. Be mad cause you are lazy and a drag to the rest of our Country. Really working folks whom pay their own bills, and raise their own children would be better off without you.
January 17th, 2012 at 6:32 pm
I keep telling you guys our new coach will be an offensive guy, a former OC. Reggie said he only know “one way.”
So since Reggie been in Green Bay they have had 4 head coaches:
Holmgren, Rhodes, Sherman, and McCarthy.
That’s 3 OC’s and one DC (Rhodes).
3 lasted at least 5 years. One lasted 1 year. Guess who lasted 1 year?
So Reggie (I only know one way) McKenzie will be getting us somebody’s OC. Book it.

January 17th, 2012 at 6:39 pm
4 coaches still in the playoffs.
Jim Harbaugh – in your face kind of guy
Coughlin- in your face kind of guy.
Belichick – laid back, but is also more like a coach/GM. he doesn’t answer to anyone either
John Harbaugh – Don’t watch Ravens much, but from what I’ve seen, wouldn’t you consider him laid back?
So, it’s hard to say. Really, both work. If you have a laid back guy who’s truly smart, knows the game, doesn’t have a GM screwing with his authority in the locker room and on the field, then they can succeed. Then again, the old fashion hard nose football coach works, too. As long as they know the game. Really comes down to game knowledge.
January 17th, 2012 at 6:41 pm
Really comes down to game knowledge, and functioning organization, I should have added. The coach has to be your coach.

I didn’t like the decision at the time, but watching Hue make a jerk out of himself on the interview circuit is changing my mind. He’s gone from saying the Carson Palmer trade was 100% his idea to now saying he was in the room, but that was it. Next week, he’ll probably be saying he didn’t like it but was overruled.

i believe we will be in a 3-4 defense. this guy been studying our roster he knows who ain’t coming back. and build from there.

If Moss is the guy why not just pull the trigger and get him in here so he can hire his staff?Why interview all these marginal candidates?I’m beginning to think Reggie doesn’t know who he wants and has an open mind about filling the position.I just hope he doesn’t take too long so whoever he hires will have decent assistants still available.Otherwise we might be stuck with the likes of someone like Chuck Bresnahan again.

Bring back John Gruden. Let him pick his coaches and control the player roster that is given to him by Mckenzie and his team. And pay him 5 million a year.
Then get out of the way and watch us go back to the Superbowl in 2 years tops.
Comparing him to Rob Ryan is absolutely ridiculous.
Gruden led us to three straight division titles. Even when he left for Tampa, it was the team shaped in his image that went to the Superbowl. That is the only way he was able to beat us.
The team will sell out all season tickets almost instantly, and re-energize the fan base like we haven’t seen in almost two decades.
Enough with the dumb stuff. Give me real coaches, not these scrubs!

Understand why Hue felt compelled to hit the circuit. Dude was taken aback about his firing and dumbfounded that the DC was still intact. But I agree his speaking engagements are out there. Next he would like us to believe it was just a bad dream. But who ever Reg gets better be good. Not some guy we lay hope on on but a guy we can trust. Did Mark act to quickly in axing Hue?
January 17th, 2012 at 7:10 pm
hue jackson blew it.
he wanted to be bigger than the whole organization, plain and simple. the man beats are whole division on the road ,yet not at home(wow).
he had to win one game down the stretch and could not.
not once did i see him take charge of the team,especially only needing to win (1) game.
he knew his defense sucked after the buffalo game but never took over. had the chance to fire suck bresnahan
after al died but didn’t.
the penalties… bottom line man had a chance to put his stamp on this team, but didn’t , thus he failed. period…. nuff said.

Gruden never even made it to the show as a Raider.

Panthers
Jaguars
Raiders
Tampa
Cowboys
Dolphins
Titans
Seahawks
Rams
Broncos
Chiefs
Browns
Vikings
Right now the Colts
So when you look at all the opportunities he has had in the last few years to coach anyone of these teams one would have to think he is happy in the booth.

people around the league knows what wrong with the raiders. and been wrong for years. the penalties the lack of playing “team” football especially on the defensive side of the ball. last in the league in rush defense for years now.
madden knows this ron wolf knows this even mark davis knows this by now reggie knows this. the organization has been hand-cuffed for man years. we’ve been a team with no organization. have to believe there will be structure coming to this organization. a foundation. without a foundation you’re just building on sand, waiting to be washed away, when it gets tough.

Wow man what the hell have I gotten myself into coming to this blog where I thought we all had the same common goal to see the raiders win the bowl. We can arue til we are blue in the face about our team but all the racist people in here should be banned.

Like I said earlier Moss will be the HC GM is just interviewing all these guys so it can look like he wasn’t going with Moss all along.

He is making his way to gb

Has McKenzie even set a formal interview up with Moss yet?
January 17th, 2012 at 8:01 pm
That’s why he went on the road trip. He is gonna have four interviews in green bay and come back with an entire coaching staff in place.

Does the fan excitement or buy in have any thing to do with a coaching search? It should. My patience with mike twice or Marty mornigwig would be pretty short.

If Raider fans were allowed to pick the HC….GRUDEN would get the job in a landslide.
