Tice the latest reported candidate
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Tuesday, January 17th, 2012 at 7:33 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Mike Tice, anyone?
The current offensive coordinator of the Chicago Bears and former head coach of the Minnesota Vikings is the latest coach the Raiders have expressed an interest in, according to the Chicago Tribune, which reported Oakland had requested permission to speak to Tice.
Tice coached the Vikings from the end of the 2001 season through the 2005 season and had a record of 33-34.
Chicago’s offensive line coach, Tice was elevated to offensive coordinator following the season by Lovie Smith, replacing Mike Martz.
The Raiders have made no public comment on their coaching search since general manager Reggie McKenzie took over on Jan. 6.

Well Reggie must be a genius.
He is going out interviewing the WORST possible coaching candidates so when he finally hires Moss everyone will be happy.
January 17th, 2012 at 7:33 pm
Is there anyone Reggie McKenzie is NOT going to interview. His short list befits his physical presence.

Mike Tice? Marty Mornhinweg? I thought this was 2012, not 2002.
January 17th, 2012 at 7:41 pm
I was amazed that any other team promoted Tice from O-line coach to OC.
I mean, hasn’t the Bears O-line been abysmal the last few years?
January 17th, 2012 at 7:41 pm
If we hire Mike Tice or Moron-wig as our HC, I will take back all the nice things I said about McKenzie.
Those two are hacks!!!
January 17th, 2012 at 7:41 pm

Reggie has never been a GM in his life.
Start lowering your expectations so you don’t have to throw yourself out a window.
The end
January 17th, 2012 at 7:43 pm
Rich Kotite anyone? Is Reggie compiling a list of head coaches that embarrassed themselves in their first stint? Just hire Moss, let him build his staff and let’s get ready for the draft and FA.
January 17th, 2012 at 7:43 pm
Hayes, whatever. Those who accuse…

My source tells me Hue was fired after smacking Marks propeller hat off his head while he was spinning around in Al’s chair. Hue was trying to explain to Mark why he should be in charge considering Mark had come from the shallow end of the jean pool.

For the past 2 decades the Green Bay Packers have been the class of the NFL. I don’t care if you’re the janitor. If you spent 17 years in those front offices listening to people, you have an idea of how to build an NFL team.
January 17th, 2012 at 7:49 pm
This could be Reggie’s way of getting Mark D. to open up the checkbook a little to pay for a real head coach.

RegMac better be serious. Out of all the potential head coaches mentioned this week, there isn’t anything worth getting excited.
I hope he’s doing what some said Mr. Davis used to do while interviewing coaches, he’s just picking their brains.
RegMac better understand that the Raiders have had enough of the Marty Mornhinwegs and Tices of the heap piles. Get us a winner Reg.

January 17th, 2012 at 7:52 pm
Bowles: AFC East
Carmichael: NFC South
Allen/McCoy: AFC West
Mornhinwig: NFC East
Tice: NFC North
We got three more knuckleheads to interview from the NFC West, AFC South, and AFC North.
Then Reggie will get his guys he already promised from the Packers. I’m sure some beans have already been spilled as to exactly who they are on Packers message boards.

Werent they in the NFC Championship?
Didnt they put an ass kicking on the playoff bound Lions in the regular season.
Tice made due with horrible drafted OL like Chris Williams and JaMarcus Webb. I mean, Cutler got sacked a gazillion times, but still went to the NFC title game, only to get knocked out of that.

=====================
When the winning coaches are arrogant and condescending, it doesnt play too well with assistants. I remember the Dolphins didnt even come at the guy, and he said;
“I’m too old and too expensive” – he said that in jest, but i mean, thats not who you want running a team – Billick just happened to luck into the greatest defensive team in history, like Gruden lucked into the 2nd greatest defensive team in history.
Notice; Their both on television, and same with Cowher. You have to be able to nurture egos not yell at people. You have to inspire people, delegate stuff to great assistants. A very collaborative process. That ego-stuff doomed guys like Haley and McDaniels when they were head coaches.
January 17th, 2012 at 8:07 pm

Glanville’s younger than I thought he was. He’s only 70. I thought he had to be 80. I remember when he was told that his replacement in Houston, Jack Pardee, liked to start practices at 6 am, he responded, “If you see me at 6am, I’m coming in, not going out”. He wasn’t lying. That partying put some years on his face.

I havent heard of any of the Pack guys but the OC getting a call. Maybe Moss has but turned down the interview.

kobe isnt great as lebron cus he couldnt take a team as pathetic as cleveland to 2 championship series. because all he does is shoots . u guys gotta understand , logically , kobe played with a great organization . great coaches.. i mean hell .. i will admit that barry sanders was probably better than emmit smith but . he played for freakin detroit !! so emmit got rings .. such is life

Glanville was coach of a UFL team, the franchise folded before his first game. I’m reading about him on wiki right now.
January 17th, 2012 at 8:17 pm
And people were complaining that he was only looking at GB guys. Weghazi ms guess what? As far as decent available coaches in the NFL goes, the fridge is empty. Time for a beer run.
Hire Moss and get it over with already.

I absolutely hate Kobe and the Lakers. FKN hate them.
But Lebron isn’t even his league. Choke artist, coasts through games, worse shooter, worse defender.
January 17th, 2012 at 8:22 pm
There are two major areas to judge McKenzie on:
Hiring the head coach, and strength of roster. As far as the latter, he hasn’t even had one draft or FA period yet. No way you can judge yet. As far as the HC, he should have sealed Moss by now. So there’s minor disappointment there, but until whatever coach he chooses turns out to suck, there’s no way to call that, either.
January 17th, 2012 at 8:22 pm
Heat won a title without Lebron.
They won’t with him.

Maybe we already found Mark’s flaw. He may not run the team into the ground like his dad, but he is watching that bottom line like a typical yuppie of his generation.

Duck, problem with that theory is that it’s a time sensitive issue. Look how quick the Rams made a decision. And the Dolphins were in the Fisher sweepstakes too. You’ve got the Senior Bowl coming up. Staff has to be picked. Really, Moss should have been secured by now. And when McKenzie was hired, it was almost a certainty that Moss would be the HC. I think there is a snag. And usually snags in the business world involve $$$.

The only excuse for this delay in an HC hiring is if McKenzie is eyeballing someone in the 4 teams still playing. And in that case, he’d better get them. He can’t try to get one of them, fail, then *settle* on Moss. That’s an Al move if there ever was one. Kill morale right out of the gate. If he’s seriously considering Moss, he has to be hired now. And I think he is. I think Mark’s just trying to pay him based on his experience alone, and Moss may feel that if that’s the case, he’s better off staying put.

In March 2005, the NFL began to investigate Tice for organizing and profiting from a Super Bowl ticket scalping operation within the Vikings organization. He later admitted that these charges were true and the NFL fined him $100,000 on June 30, 2005. It was the largest fine ever handed down to a head coach in NFL history until New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick was fined $500,000 for having a team video assistant film the New York Jets’ defensive signals.
January 17th, 2012 at 8:43 pm
I was hoping Art Shell would be GM. Art built one of the best offensive lines in football in the late ’80s, only for Al to trade them all off. Plus I feel like Art deserves a chance to build a GM record to balance out the once nice HC record that Al ruined in 2006.

The Stick is worse off than the Coliseum and the Niners had the sac to still pay Harbaugh and look where they are at now?
A win away from the Super Bowl. The Niners made the right move to commit to winning, while the Raiders just talk about it and are cheap when it comes to hiring a good to great coach…or even keeping one for that matter when it came to Gruden, and it cost us a Super Bowl win!
January 17th, 2012 at 8:50 pm
I’m willing to bet the only real reason McKenzie fired Jackson was because Jackson wants some personnel control. If that’s the case, why would he then turn and hire Gruden? Gruden was traded from here a decade ago because he wanted more personnel control.

Guess we will never know, if he never gets another chance as a head coach.
January 17th, 2012 at 8:52 pm
We Need to hire a Defensive Head Coach, Reggie is smart, Keep our offensive terminology and scheme the same as last year, some continuity on that side makes sense.
Again, let’s not lose sight on the side that has plagued this team for the last 9 years, and cost us the playoffs this year.
Defense, we need a Defensive HC, it makes sense and I would be shocked to see us go Offense.
Either Reggie is Smart OR Mark is calling the shots and we go Offense, we will see who gets to hire “His” guy shortly.
January 17th, 2012 at 8:53 pm
You know, if Mark turns out to be a cheap skate, his ownership really could be worse than Al’s. Al only cheap skated coaches. So far, Mark seems to be doing the same, if my suspicions as to why Winston hasn’t been hired yet are true. If we see Mark lowballing players too? My goodness. Even Al didn’t do that. And the Raiders aren’t one of the wealthier teams in the league.

DKnight, that’s true. But this could still be the reason for the delay. Could be the Yorks just decided to put football in front of politics and profit. Maybe Mark should do the same.
^^^^^^^^
I knew this would happen if they fired Hue prematurely. There is a lack of talented assistants out there, that can become good to great NFL head coaches right now. Slim Pickens, unless you bring in a proven head coach like a Gruden or Fisher.
Moss is the only one out of all these yahoos that are being interviewed or considered by McKenzie, that has at least some upside.
I also like Aaron Kromer from the Saints. He was a former offensive line coach under Gruden here with the Raiders.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:00 pm
COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE means bringing guys like Gruden or Fisher or Cowher to turn this ship around and not being CHEAP when paying them.

This is all mike Singletary’s fault. If the sob had lasted another season we could have had a shot on Jimmy Harbaugh.
it bothered me he chose niners last year and now I’m furious for obvious reasons. Would Harbaugh ever trade away future for Palmer had he been our coach. I’d say no since he would have had a viable option #2 at QB instead of Boller who lets face it was handed the job by Hue due to their love test from Raven days. That alone could have been a reason to sack Hue: Nepotism!
And now we are interviewing all B list candidates instead. Really?

Worked some back in the day. Don’t exactly recall why it was abandoned, but I think it has to do with the quarterback getting killed.

January 17th, 2012 at 9:09 pm
As far as compensation for HC it would be foolish for Raiders to go cheap while overpaying millions to guys like Seymour and Wembley, and Rout and Huff and …. Give $7M per year to a world class coach instead of hiring another clown HC at $3M a year. With that extra $4M you commit to excellence.
Let’s not be penny wise and pound foolish!
January 17th, 2012 at 9:11 pm
That is true Chris…Colt and Timmy used to run for their lives alot…
January 17th, 2012 at 9:12 pm
Also, that is probably why Colt and Timmy never really made it to the NFL…they were not used to being under center!
January 17th, 2012 at 9:12 pm
I heard Mort today say that Colts could look to hire Mark Trestman as there HC. Wonder when he’s going to make Reggies shortlist.

Marty Shottenheimer is a winner. He went 14-2 with the San Diego Chargers and got fired. 14 and 2!
January 17th, 2012 at 9:18 pm
183 yes. He said that he was furious when al voted against all the other owners at meetings even when the vote was unanimous from everyone else. Schotenheimer said it sent the wrong message and proved al was only in it for himself.

Hwn — How long did that option last after it came back? About as long as the run-n-shoot will.
The WC Offense is about as close to run-n-shoot as you’re gonna see…except for long-run versions of some teams’ 2-minute drills.
Run-n-shoot: I think back to when Jim Kelly could’ve been a Raider. He would’ve been something in Black and Silver. Fockin’ Pete Roszelle.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:21 pm
Saw Glanville’s name thrown out there as a joke earlier. In all seriousness, I’d take him over most of the names being thrown out there just for pure entertainment value.
You wouldn’t have to worry about McClain covering Calvin Johnson or Boyd or Huff or Routt for that matter, because they’d all be blitzing.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:21 pm
That is true Hayes… And Rozelle F’d many things up with regards to Raiders! Elway comes to mind also!

That is true and a lot of hail marys…I remember Atlanta keeping SF from the playoffs with a hail mary TD pass…too funny! He was very entertaining though! The Pre-Dirty Birds (Since Dan Reeves was the coach of that team)!

in mark davis’s press conference he felt without a new stadium they couldnt compete for high priced players. guess he should have added high priced coaches too. jack del rio seems like lombardi compared to some of these losers. mike tice? are you kidding me.

How about Dennis green. ..”if you wanna crown them than crown them.. but the bears are who we thought they were”.. lol
January 17th, 2012 at 9:26 pm
Both those QB deals were solid. Say what you will about Al…but he never stopped trying to find the foundation at QB. If he hit on any of about a half-dozen QB deals, the Raiders would’ve been a whole different story the past 25-years, for sure.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:28 pm
Well, sh*t…why not coax Willie Shaw out of retirement? Could get his son soon, maybe if his dad is back…lol

January 17th, 2012 at 9:31 pm
Man, you guys break me up. Thank GOD none of you are near the decision process. It’s like we are bringing Bobby Petrino or Ray Handley in here. Or Lance Kiffin for that matter. You cannot deny that Mohringweg knows something about offense. There is no denying that. And if anyone wants to argue that the rosters Millen handed him were packed with talent, well I need a good laugh. And he has head coaching experience. Mike Tice did a pretty good job with the Bears offense. That team was in the NFC Championship game the year before, was 7-3 when they walked into the Oakland Coliseum this year, and had just whipped the Dischargers 31-13 the week before. If they didn’t lose their Pro Bowl Q, who knows what would have happened. Janikowsky had 6 count ‘em SIX FG’s in that game. Why? Because Jackson obviously didn’t know that TD’s equaled 6 points.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:32 pm
Mike McCarthy was a no name when FB hired him. I would be stoked to have that dude now.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:32 pm

January 17th, 2012 at 9:32 pm
I actually like Fassel. Think he’s vastly overrated. Had some good years in NY including a Super Bowl run. Not sure why he never got another shot. Actually, it’s probably Boller’s fault. Remember Fassel came back as OC for the Ravens and then Billick threw him under the bus for their offensive struggles that year? Wasn’t Fassel stuck with Boller for the entire season?

Well,let’s hope a decision is made soon! For no other reason than to having to live with it and see where it goes! I’m sure he sat in on a few interviews before…like someone posted, this is FIRST big chance to add credibility to his resume’ as a first time GM..come on Reggie…do the right thing!
January 17th, 2012 at 9:40 pm
If you hire say a David Shaw from Stanford, or Carmichael from New Orleans you HAVE TO have one of the coordinators be an ex head coach. GM who has never run a franchise, HC with no NFL head coaching history, and coordinators with no head coaching history = recipe for disaster.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:41 pm
The only two coaches I would be ok with that have ben mentioned, Bowles, and Moss. Thats it, and Im only going by my gut.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:41 pm
We really need to have a coach signed by the end of this week!
January 17th, 2012 at 9:41 pm
Damn, Jack Patera, he still out there?
How bout Ron Turner? He’s from Martinez. Yeah
Caldwell is available. Better interview him before someone else does.
Les Steckel? Childress is out there.
Dick Juaron. Yeaaaahhhhh!!!!!!!
June Jones. Nice ring tone.
EXTRA BONUS REPORT:
Remember the days when the Minnesota Vikings were the worst behaved team in the NFL? When players were constantly getting arrested? The sex boat scandal? Coaches scalping Super Bowl tickets?
All of that traces back to Mike Tice’s time as head coach from 2001-’05. Yes, the team performed alright record-wise under Tice’s tutelage, but it never had a double-digit win season, and Tice brought all kinds of negative press to Vikings.

You’re probably right. Not sure that makes it any better though. He’s not fooling anyone if that’s how it plays out.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:44 pm
Reggie needs to hire a HC who could put butts in seats. That’s one thing Hue did real well.
This team in a horrible stadium with half sold out games will have no chance competing financially or athletically. Let’s face it Mark Davis is not a billioner some will need sell out stadiums like this year to stay in biz. That’s why I think he needs to hire not a retread but either established guy like Gruden who fans love or a very polished assistant coach like Moss.
His interviewing all these people could be a strategy to deflect from criticism that this job has already been promised to Winston Moss.

Some of the coaches being talked to won’t be retained in their current positions by their current teams…and may be available for some capacity to the Raiders down the line. These candidates also may be filling-in blanks about OTHER, non-OC/DC coaches on ReggieMcK’s radar.
Even if ReggieMcK’s mind is mostly set on his HC…he’d like to know all he can about the available coaching talent. I like my new GM getting smarter this way. Find the gems, Reg!

You are right eastoak about the WCO tho. Hence, Mike Tice.

January 17th, 2012 at 10:03 pm
Why is everyone on the moss bandwagon? I can’t find anything on him that talks about his coaching style or ability. He looks rad in his staff picture though…
January 17th, 2012 at 10:06 pm
Yeah Fk the WCO, but I have this feeling that we are going to end up running some type of the WCO, Its coming from my gut again.
January 17th, 2012 at 10:06 pm
There are some coaches destined to be great…coordinators. And some have the leadership qualities to lead men, beyond and in addition to the X’s and O’s.
No to retreads with losing records…and yes to a younger, fresh face at HC.
Truth be told, though…whomever ReggieMcK picks has got me in his corner already. Tough duty to rebuild and go to the Playoffs at the same time. I’m counting on the new HC to do that.
January 17th, 2012 at 10:08 pm
Mike Tice really? I’d rather take Joe Bugel or Art Shell III with bed & breakfast II over Mike “Party Boat” Tice. Reggie better be doing this to get inside info on other teams and nothing else.
January 17th, 2012 at 10:09 pm
Sorry but I’m a Huejax supporter dude brought our O back from the dead and got us a top flight QB. If we stay healthy and have a decent DC we make the playoffs at 12-4 but our DC lost 4 games for us thus 8-8. GM has already made his first mistake by firing Hue to bring in a HC who won’t be better.
January 17th, 2012 at 10:09 pm
181, There is a stadium waiting to be built in Santa Clara and for the 2nd tenant. What the eff is holding up our decision? Why can’t the Raiders pay a coach like the 49ers just did? Is winning against this team’s culture? I’m fed up with the petty BS that makes the Raiders one of the horse’s rear end of the NFL!
January 17th, 2012 at 10:10 pm
if Mike Tice is “his guy” I’ve lost all respect for Reggie I never had to begin with
January 17th, 2012 at 10:12 pm
49ers D just by creating turnovers went from being an 8-8 type Oakland team to the effin’ doorstep of the Super Bowl. Am I the only Raider fan that is angry that they play defense and our bad team does not?
January 17th, 2012 at 10:14 pm

just because reggie mckenzie is a good talent evaluator, it doesn’t mean he knows coaching talent..
his coaching short list is very unimpresive. where’s the up and coming defensive or ofensive guru? where’s the nrxt harbaugh?
reggie you’re looking confused out there
January 17th, 2012 at 10:23 pm
yeah, I wasn’t happy when they let Hue go, but theres nuthin we can do about it. I just hope Reggie picks the right guy for the job.
January 17th, 2012 at 10:24 pm
I know one thing for sure… if it was al davis interviewing these losers as hc. . People would be ripping into him.. and he would deserve it.. Reggie better get his act straight..
January 17th, 2012 at 10:41 pm
The Senior Bowl is coming up and other teams are making their moves and getting their guys etc. so I understand the urgency, but…we are still over 2 weeks away before the season officially ends so it’s not time to panic yet.
I don’t understand why Reggie is interviewing SO MANY different guys with different styles, personalities, etc.
I was under the impression this was a decisive guy who knows what he wants.
Either:
-He does NOT know what he wants or…
-He’s jacking a lot of people around bringing people in for interviews who he has no intention of hiring.
January 17th, 2012 at 10:44 pm
287… I drive right by city of industry on my way work.. right where. 57/60 meet… there is some serious work going on.. atleast twenty to thirty bulldozers flattening out the hills… it looks like they are moving forward with their plans of building a new stadium in city of industry…. it would be a state of the art stadium with the capacity to oblige tailgaters… something that farmers field wont do.. I hope Raiders stay in Oakland but the construction is moving fast in walnut,CA..
January 17th, 2012 at 10:46 pm
All these “extra” interviews are more than likely scouting interviews for potential OC’s & DC’s. That way when Reggie hires Moss, he can give Moss short lists of “Reggie acceptable” names of OC & DC coaches for Moss to consider & hire. I’m sure Reggie is approaching it that way and is most likely seeing if they’d be interested in the opportunities if offerred. All this means is that once Moss is hired, Coordinators are going to be coming closely behind. Sounds like an organized approach.
January 17th, 2012 at 10:49 pm
Jb. .. Reggie said he would let his hc pick his own coaching staff.. he can’t have it both ways… maybe he has a little of al davis in him…he says one thing and does another..
January 17th, 2012 at 10:50 pm
I’m trying to be patient because I want to believe Reggie has a plan and really has a LIST.
However, I’m gonna be pissed if it comes to light this dude is f’n around because he has no clue which direction to go.
January 17th, 2012 at 10:53 pm
#299,
If that’s what he’s doing than all this would make more sense for sure, but some of these names? I’d like to see one former HC he’s considering have at least a .500 record.
I guess if there were “winning” former HC’s around they wouldn’t be looking in the first place; or they are working on TV.
January 17th, 2012 at 10:54 pm
Wasbanned… I never understood why mark davis would only interview one Guy for the GM position..who does that?… atleast see who else is out there… this is not looking good..
January 17th, 2012 at 10:55 pm
JB…
OC, DC, and Assistant HC guys will only leave the team they are under contract with to for a promotion.
In other words, if Moss is hired, then he can’t go get Tice as OC because Tice is already OC of the Bears.
Mornhinweg is the OC with Eagles, Capers is DC of the Packers, etc…
See what I mean. He can’t be setting up potential OC & DC guys for his new coach if these guys are already in those positions at other teams.

Sure he can and apparently is. He’s going to give an “acceptable” list of guys that have shown interest and Moss can hire anyone of them he chooses. he difference between Al & Reggie is hat Al would decide on one and hire him. Reggie is letting the new HC hire anyone he considers as acceptable. Welcome to the corporate world. That’s how it works.
January 17th, 2012 at 10:58 pm
Al McKenzie was supposed to be a great talent evaluator. These past few names thrown out there are not exactly “great coaching talent”. Something doesn’t make sense here.
Either Wolf, Madden and a few others had no idea what they were talking about when recommending McKenzie, or McKenzie is just buying some time before hiring a real prospect out there. Like some of you mentioned, there’s also the chance that $$ is an issue, which wouldn’t be a surprise.
Anyway, If he does hire one of these have-beens then we all will have some serious thinking to do about how capable McKenzie really is for the job.
Nothing has happened yet though. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope that BigMac surprises us all.
January 17th, 2012 at 11:03 pm
Jb. .. giving your head coach of acceptable coaches to pick from is not exactly letting your hc pick his own coaching staff.. that’s semantics man.. I’m skeptical about Reggie but I’m cautiously willing to give him the benefit if any doubt.. I hope he proves me wrong.. but I think he might be having a hard time deciding who to pick as hc..
January 17th, 2012 at 11:03 pm
Seriously, if we are gonna do this whole NEW culture thing we may as well go for broke. I wanna log on here next time and see names like Marty Schottenheimer, or Jon Gruden (i know that won’t happen), or heck, bring in Vermeil.
Morninwheg, Tice, Capers etc.? Boooooooooooring.
At the end of the day, this is still just a game and it’s “supposed” to be fun; especially for the fans.
Winning is the most fun though, so lets get someone in here who is fun…and wins. Why not?

Understand your point and what you are saying. The question I guess may have to do with “are the currently under contract” and “if they are offered a DC/Asst. HC title” would hat be considered a promotion? He also may in some cases truly interviewing them for the HC position just validating that his pick of Moss is still the right pick. I’m sure there is more to all these different interviews than just building up his Mileage Plus account miles.

Reggie didn’t impress me as a person unable to make a decision. I do think he’s a man of few words publicly. He holds things close to the vest – but that’s a Raider way of doing things anyway. I just believe he’s got his own agenda and is working it feverishly. He’s all over the place seeing lots of different faces. There has to be a reason why. We just don’t know what it is for sure.
January 17th, 2012 at 11:11 pm
Mike Tice, seriously? Does Reggie have his head firmly planted?
January 17th, 2012 at 11:12 pm
Yes, Greg Williams the DC for NO left and went to work for Fisher at the Rams. I think it was the Rams and not Miami.
January 17th, 2012 at 11:13 pm
Reggie is gathering Intel from the other candidates about how they would use the talent he has at his disposal…it’s the ONLY time he’s allowed to do this by the league and he might as well get as much feedback as he can.
This IS a move Al perfected for years during his way too often coaching searches…
He might as well take his time withthe coaching search, it’s not like he’s going to be worried about drafting on the first day…
January 17th, 2012 at 11:16 pm
I think that pretty much all of our Asst. coach contracts are up now. That let’s them look & talk to whomever they want. That’s what happened to Sanjai Li. That is typical for most teams. Asst. Coach contract are usually not long term in nature.
January 17th, 2012 at 11:17 pm
Here’s a crazy conspiracy theory…
What if Al had a plan to make the team suck just enough so that he could move it to LA or wherever using the excuse that tickets were not selling where he was. He almost had the plan playing out to perfection when all of a sudden his number is called by the great ol’ mighty. On top of his passing, Hue all of a sudden starts to make visible progress and the fans see it and tickets start selling, paired with a brilliant (and desperate) marketing strategy of 2 for 1 tickets, the games are being sold out for the first time in a long time. But his son takes over, and in the will, there’s instructions in detail of how to carry the plan and that it must be carried out. So step one, fire the HC. Step two, hire McKenzie, who had been singled out by Al a long time ago and was part of the plan. Hence why Mark not interviewing anyone else, hiring Reggie almost instantly, then Reggie looking at all this sorry excuses for coaches as the next HC.
And just like that, we are back to a 4-12 season, home games not being sold out, and the team moving by spring of 2014.
Current HC fired, Reggie and Mark hire a legit HC, we make playoffs for the first time in 12 years, and win Superbowl.
Al legacy lives on. And he did it his way. Even from the grave.
January 17th, 2012 at 11:19 pm
Just kind of deflating to see these lame-o names.
I was wanting Hue back for another shot with a new DC to see what he could do, but excited at the same time to see the upgrade we would most surely get.
When I see names like THIS…Mike Tice? Marty Morninwheg? Dom Capers?
We just assume Reggie knows what he’s doing.
I hope he does, and there’s a reason behind these lamers being trotted out.
January 17th, 2012 at 11:22 pm

Right now your theory is a viable as any others on here including mine. Although, in my opinion, your conspiracy approach is out there a ways but I doubt I could get that many people to agree to any one thing & stick to it. But WTH, write a book. It could be a cult best seller.
January 17th, 2012 at 11:27 pm
First Mornhingweg, now Tice. Are we interviewing the worst head coaches of all time?
So who’s next?
Brad Childress?
Dave Shula?
Butch Davis?

Dave Campo?
Wade Phillips?
Joe Bugel?
Rod Marinelli?
Cam Cameron?
January 17th, 2012 at 11:29 pm
All the HC prospects McKenzie has “interviewed” are neckenschell plunks (German for notable unnotables), too long in tooth, recycled losers with losing records, or are unknowns without reknown: what have you done for us lately Winston Moss?
Churning through the garbage is not the Raider way, at least it wasn’t till the master of disaster, Stink AL, made it our way the past 10 yrs.
My vote for HC is Rich Gannon. Supremely talented, practical, pragmatic, highly intelligent, possessing extreme football moxy, strict disciplinarian, and work addicted.
C’mon McKenzie, cloning GB is not the way. Doing something not yet known in football is the Raider way and way to dynasty. Rich Gannon: would you know a diamond if you held it in your hand ?
January 17th, 2012 at 11:29 pm
Some reasons Reggie is all over the place:
• Is checking on HC,OC & DC interest
• Is checking on trade interest for some of our players
• Is checking on trade availability of others players
• Is building up his hotel and airline miles
• His office in Alameda is not complete yet so needed to meet at the other guy’s place
• Just wanted to say hi and see some old acquaintances
• Just wanted the Raider blog people to go bug-schit trying to figure out what and why he’s doing what he’s doing
• Just because…
January 17th, 2012 at 11:31 pm
lol JB… I know it is waaaayyyy out there, but so is the thought of bringing in any of the guys McKenzie is interviewing these days. So I figured, what the heck…

Too bad.
Nolan’s got a pretty impressive record with straightening out a defense.
January 18th, 2012 at 3:26 am
Wow.
and to think there are some on this board who DONT want Gruden.
There has not been a candidate YET that is better than Gruden.
All I keep hearing from the anti-Gruden camp is “we need to find the next Gruden” as if you just go down to the dollar store and shuffle thru the bargain bin.
January 18th, 2012 at 5:13 am
I think Reggie is just starting shat with saying we are interested in these guys, just to shuffle the deck.
I mean, we have floated like 6 names this week, and have yet to conduct any of the interviews.
This isn’t Domino’s, where you can bang out a half dozen interviews in a day.
It is usually an all-day event per interviee
January 18th, 2012 at 5:28 am
With all of these canidates, God only knows (not a Beach Boys reference) who’s gonna get the job… All I know is, please bring in a ‘take no BS’ defensive coordinator to weed out the sub-par players and light a fire under the new defense’s A$$!!!
Also, since we lost our coveted WR coach (thats a joke), how about bringing in ‘touchdown’ Timmy Brown to show these guys how to play the position??
January 18th, 2012 at 5:29 am
As much as everybody always bagged on Sanjay Lal, his unit performed well, and he found work immediately.

Also hope he’s not just rolling the dice, expirementing for the year until someone better comes along next season. If that’s the case , we could have let Hue’s contract expire and loaded up on D.

————————————-
I love the Palmer trade, sorry. Not sure why it’s so accepted as a mistake and everyone is trying to assign blame.
Not long ago I posted a list of the 17th overall selections in the first and second rounds of the draft over the last 10 seasons (our pick in this year’s draft would’ve been No. 17). The only 2 out of 20 who you might, might want over Palmer would be Josh Freeman and DeSean Jackson. And even those are debatable. Palmer was clearly better than the other 18 players picked in those two spots.
January 18th, 2012 at 6:28 am
The only difference Chris is the fact that the 17th overall pick in this years draft would cost us about 3 million a year. There is value in #1 picks that can’t be compared to those of the past, we aren’t talking about 70 million dollar contracts anymore.
I think Palmer will be fine. Most people are resigned to hating the trade because they hate Hue, so they will hate anything associated with him. They will probably hate DHB and DMC next year too because Hue coaxed some good things out of them.
January 18th, 2012 at 6:32 am
I like what Reggie is doing, he is interviewing just about everyone he can get his hands on. He is building raports in the coaching community. Most of these guys are nothing more than to have a relationship, and an idea about a guy, for coordinators. I doubt many of them are serious candidates. IMO Moss probably already has the job, but Mark was skewered in the media for not interviewing anyone else for Reggies job, so Reggie isn’t making that mistake.
January 18th, 2012 at 6:32 am
I was with Hue on that trade for Palmer after JC went down because we all know Boller wouldn’t have done crap for us! However, I didn’t like how he handled it…di we give up too much? It’s looking like it, but like you said Bcz…if he does take us to the dance…it wil be ok! Winning does cure all!
January 18th, 2012 at 6:34 am
I for one am glad Hue is gone. Didn’t see him as a head coach when he was hired (and posted it), and he didn’t change my mind once he had the job.
I am glad we have Palmer, though. He’s legit, and there aren’t a whole lot of legitimate QBs sitting around waiting for a phone call, especially in the middle of the season.
RM said what a lot of us feel about the trade; we probably gave up too much, but that’s the cost of doing business, especially given the circumstances.

January 18th, 2012 at 6:56 am
Palmer is the best “real” QB we have had since Gannon.
I don’t know why Hue would even feel the need to justify that trade. Palmer has made some unbelievable throws. It has been years since we saw a QB throw a deep ball and as a spectator, we just assume it is on target, as opposed to keeping our fingers crossed preying it doesn’t get intercepted.
I know the draft picks were costly, but I would still take a sure-thing in Palmer at QB than a risky QB pick…assuming we all agree we needed a QB.

DMC has been on the sidelines more games than he has played.
Unacceptable.
We can find a RB as good as him that doesn’t have glass ankles and toes.
Hue was 16th in red zone offense, 8-8, and blew key games at the end of the season with abysmal play calling, particularly in the red zone. Then he blamed the players for it. Toned it down only after he realized he was blowing future employment opportunities.
Only guy I’m missing is our lost receivers coach. Did a hell of a job w Ford, Moore, and even DHB. They should have kept him. Our receivers have sucked for years until he got here.
I hope they keep Wiz. He also did a hell of a job. You know if he goes SF’ll get him.

hot dang!
By the time this search is over, all the decent coordinators will be gone … but at least Reggie Mac will have some experience interviewing coaches and will likely know what he wants from a Head Coach besides the typical “winning” response
I don’t see a problem with bringing in Brian Billick, Rob Ryan, Jack Del Rio or a few hot college prospects
I don’t care about the popular choice as HC. I just want the right choice
Fassel, Green, Fewell, Gilbride = why not?

Chris in Ny and other Hue supporters. Did you honestly see good HC qualities in Hue or did you admire his offensive mindset. I think Hue is a good offensive coordinator but didn’t have the makeup to be a successful HC. It was clear that Hue’s mindset was he was in charge of the offense and he left Chuck B on his own. Chuck B is horrible but a good HC has to be responsible for both sides of the ball. I also question Hues ability to make fast decisions. He has a good gameplan on offense but in the heat of the moment I think he had issues making decisions. Against the Lions we scored a defensive touchdown and he didn’t have basic decision making process to go for 2. Then at the end of the 1st half against SD, we have the ball at the 40 with no timeouts with 11 seconds left and he pots for 1 more play versus kicking a fg. There are other examples but these stick out in my mind. IMO without being there , I feel he lost the lockeroom. In the end , Mark Davis may have influenced Reggie to let Hue go but my instinct tells me that Madden and Wolf felt the same way. In the end, Any first year coach who doesn’t have a full training camp, loses his qb midyear and a top 5 rb when healthy,goes 8-8 but still loses his job has to have major ego issues or other flaws that management couldn’t live with.
January 18th, 2012 at 7:35 am
a season ago media talking heads were touting Todd Haley and Raheem Morris as coaching geniuses. (having the easiest schedules in the NFL is a seldom-mentioned part of genius). within a year they were both fired for ineptitude.
Jason Garrett, THE hot commodity a couple of years back…ices his own kicker to lose out on a playoff berth.
if Reggie wants to patiently sift through all the names and coaches it seems wise ss few of them are what they are portrayed to be from moment to moment.
then again, it’s all a crapshoot.
what’re the odds that Oaktown will have a primetime game in Cincinnati next season? The return of Carson.
Yeah, Cincy doesn’t sell tickets but they might for that game.
January 18th, 2012 at 7:35 am
Agreed RR!
I wouldn’t have a problem with Billick, Fassel, Del Rio, or Gilbride cause they have experience (with the execption of Gilbride) and familiar with varius coordinators.
When Fassels name would be floated around when Al did the hiring, i always wanted to give him a shot!

Two things VERY wrong with this statement:
1. These are OCs and DCs that he’s talking to for the most part. They can NOT move laterally from one organization to another. So Tice could not be anything except for a HC interview for us.
2. The HC will be the one who will pick his staff not McKenzie
Now, a third HORRIBLY wrong thing. Tice failed as a HC, but even worse he failed as an O-Line Coach. How can you promote someone who’s failing so bad as a position coach to HC?

January 18th, 2012 at 8:03 am
NYC Raider, I think that Hue was almost exclusively involved with the Offensive side of the ball. So he makes a better OC than HC, although I’m thinking the more he would be on the job the more familiar he’d get on the defensive side. But, it’s also worth noting that if he had a good DC and let him do his job we would still be well off with a wealth of both offensive and defensive knowledge and game planning.
January 18th, 2012 at 8:06 am
Our new head coach is Winston Moss..!!!. Everything else is just for show… he told more than two personnel people in greenbay this… Reggie is just going the motions to make it look like he’s working hard.. but its Moss…..

January 18th, 2012 at 8:18 am
I have been watching this search and I have some ideas and concerns:
1. While we do not know all that went on it seems to me Al Saunders did a really good job with an offense that saw a lot of injuries and adversity. It would be nice to get a DC or D Assistant Coach that would defer and allow Saunders to stay on as well as all the assistants except Lal. Saunders is an experienced play caller and probably would have done a better job than Hue as well (i.e throw the bomb on 4th and 1 while you are trying to run down the clock and have a terrible defense late in a game). I think it would be stupid to blow up an above average offense that is starting to jell just because you like the West Coast Offense!
2. The DC and D Assistants I have heard so far are Allen, Moss, and other Green Bay Defensive staff. I believe Todd Bowles is that as well. I like Bowles because the team was playing hard at the end of the season and I think Miami plays a 3/4 which I think we would be ok to switch into with a couple of additions and subtractions. Jack Del Rio might agree to that as well because Saunders is so respected and that would allow him to focus on the defense.
January 18th, 2012 at 8:19 am
Mark Davis said #1 that “we are trying to build a stadium here” meaning Oakland. Then he said” if we can’t build a Stadium in Oakland, we’ve been researching other sites in Northern California and talking with people in Southern California. If we can’t get a stadium build in Oakland than LA is a possibility, anywhere is a possibility.” LA times is doing a poll to see how many people want the Raiders in L.A. The good news for REAL Oakland Raiders fans is that the people developing the New LA stadium want some control & ownership of the Team they bring in & the Davis family will never give up any control of the Raiders. But Real OAKLAND Raider Fans must stop this LA momentum. Vote No to bringing the Raiders to LA.

January 18th, 2012 at 8:21 am
I think Palmer will be fine. Most people are resigned to hating the trade because they hate Hue, so they will hate anything associated with him. They will probably hate DHB and DMC next year too because Hue coaxed some good things out of them

Regarding 402
It was Mark Davis that had to pull the trigger on that trade all Hue did is hand him the gun. I am sure Hue used his connections to soften up Cincy for the trade but it was Mark that had to make that decision. I am sure Hue pushed Mark hard for this and rightly knew the season was over with Boller. There is no way a Coach was given cart blanc to take on that kind of contract and give up those kind of picks. What kind of makes me mad is that our back up was so utterly useless to put us in a position to have to do such a thing and that falls on Hue whould be given latitude on the Backup QB.

January 18th, 2012 at 8:32 am
Another thing – I would prefer an up and coming DC or D-Assistant to a re-tread. Find that guy with the fire and leadership skills to go to the next level like we did when we hired Gruden or Madden. By the way Madden was a Defensive Assistant type. The DC types will also be more open to keeping Saunders because it allows them to focus more on the defense.
January 18th, 2012 at 8:32 am
The offense will be fine next year. I attribute more of our offensive improvement to the players and not the system. Whomever they decide to go with, our size and speed at RB/WR will make it dynamic.
January 18th, 2012 at 8:33 am

I hope they keep Wiz. He also did a hell of a job. You know if he goes SF’ll get him.

Weasel,
Sanjay Lal went from getting a ton of blame to a ton of credit. JFB & I miss him more than Hue Jackson
It’s hard to know just how much credit to give Wiz an an asst O-Line coach who was just a strength coach at Stanford a year before. Bob Wylie has been around for years and knows all the tricks to the trade. I’m sure he gets at least HALF the credit for the O-Line improvements and bringing Wiz along as a coach as well

Really, you don’t think Hue could have seen the writing on the wall during pre-season and practices and told Al that KB does not have it anymore and at least bring in someone that has something and Al would not have listened to that? Hue was too comfortable with KB because of their time in Balt. together – that is just my opinion but I think we all just always blame AD for anything bad and the Coach for anything good (and I was not an AD apologist – I thought he should have hired a GM years ago).

last off-season when the MUP list was in play I chose Kyle Boller as I wasn’t confident that Taiwan Jones could remain injury free.
turns out I was correct in both assumptions. Taiwan was a non-factor due to injury and Kyle Boller, through his scintillating ineptitude caused the Raiders to completely re-shape their future by going after Carson Palmer.

The only way to be sure that you’ll find the right guy for the job is by leaving no stone unturned. McKenzie is doing a thorough coaching search, as he well should.

I don’t know if I’m a believer in Sanjay Lal. Sure our WRs started producing more, but a lot goes into that including O-Line production, a QB knowing the system, a good playbook, etc. I think Ford and Moore already knew how to catch. DHB is still figuring out how to catch using hands as opposed to his body.
The one thing I don’t think the WRs got good enough at was separating from coverage. They learned how to run routes, but it seemed the would run the route as it was drawn up on paper (which was good), but to be great, they have to run the route properly AND get separation when in tight coverage. Great receivers are not content with simply running the pattern correctly.

Arj,
excellent points. no excuses for the drops, fumbles and route running by our young wideouts the past few years – unless you want to blame injuries, youth, coaching turnover or changes at QB
At some point these cats just have to ball. Oddly enough though, did you see how poorly the Saints & Packers targets made Brees & Rodgers look last weekend? I was thinking to myself “the Raiders are more talented than that!” but we’re talking about one game, not a career or even a season.

Young American… would you say that if it was al davis conducting these interviews?? I don’t think so… I think you would be trashing him.. and honestly he would deserve it.. but I’m willing to wait n see what happens… but in my book he’s not looking to good right now…
——————-
Al Davis wouldn’t have been able to get most of these interviews in the first place. Most reasonable people would turn down a head coaching job under Al Davis.
I’m glad that McKenzie is being thorough.
Y’all were b****ing when you thought he was just going to hire Winston Moss. Now that he’s interviewing a wide swath of candidates, you’re b****ing some more.
==========================================
Exactly. We’re up to SEVEN candidates. Not twenty. Not a million. SEVEN. What is the big flipping deal, people?!?

Hue has a better resume than all these clowns! He brought the worst offense/laughing stock of the league dynamic. He saved 2# 1 draft picks from being bust with his play calling dmac/dhb. Looks like we are going backwards from all these coordinators. Hue has a coodinator but at least he has a yr under his belt.

I mean, its not like Edwards signed anywhere else.. So could he have made an impact?
***************************
Edwards didn’t want to be here. He was contacted when JC got hurt and declined.
**************
I totally agree with the second post about Edwards. He did not want to come back – it was reported from at least 3 outlets. But why did he not want to come back? Could it be that he felt he was better than KB but was not given a fair shot by Hue? This is what I mean when I say Hue was too comfortable with KB. I do not think we should rush to blame that situation on AD! That may very well be one of the things McKenzie saw when he reviewed the year with Hue that wanted him to move on. I mean Al had his scholarship players but maybe Hue did as well.

In for an interview at the Raider facility in Alameda, Bill Cowher meets with Reggie Mckenzie aka Chubby Checker.
CC: “See the buildings a little run down but we’re working hard on getting a state of the art facility”
Cowher: “who’s that in the office playing video games”
CC: “that there is the owner of the Raiders Mr. Mark Davis, let’s not disturb him. Come into my office and have a seat. Now I want to take the Oakland Raiders into a new era”
Cowher: “I heard you say that in the press conference. I also heard you are a good evaluator of talent.”
CC: “well I didn’t inspire to be a scout”
Cowher: “Inspire?”
CC: “yeah inspire”
Cowher: “you know I don’t think I’d be a good fit here”
CC “Wait Bill before u leave I wanted to ask you… you ever do the twist?”
January 18th, 2012 at 9:10 am
I just think Reggie is bringing in these dudes, just to make it look like he’s really shopping for a HC, but in reality his guy is Moss. No interview yet, because he already knows Moss.
If thats the case he just needs to hire him now and stop w/ these puzzyfooting interviews.
Bring in Moss now, and let him bring in his coaching staff, before all the good ones get jobs elsewhere.

I have no problem with what McKenzie is doing so far. I think in interviewing a guy like McCoy or Allen you are getting perspective of how they see our offense and defense and what they would do to improve it. This is valuable because they game planned us – twice. Secondly, it might be that one of these guys is the next Madden or Gruden and you will not figure that out unless you sit down and talk with them for at least 2-3 hours. I also like interviewing Bowles as he prepared for us and their team tattooed us. More perspective!
Some questions that Reggie can ask
1. In looking at our offense what improvement in scheme could be implemented to make us more effective.
2. Would you want to move to the West Coast on offense like wise 3/4 or 4/3 on defense – what personal changes do you think would need to be made.
3. Would you want to bring your own assistants in on offense or defense and if so who are you thinking about. Note auto fail answer if they say content with Defense.
and so on….

————-
You’re the one who’s freaking out because the GM is *gasp* TALKING TO COACHES. That’s what a real GM does. Especially a guy who just took over a team that had the same GM for basically its entire existence.
The guy McKenzie brings in will have his hands full. He has to not only replenish the staff of assistant coaches, but find answers at a lot of positions – not only areas that need improving, but deciding whether to keep/cut/restructure/trade certain players on the roster whose salary is going to be a problem in 2012. Then there’s the whole issue of a team that has never had to be accountable before, hasn’t been disciplined, and plays like it.
So when you have a team with as many problems as the Raiders do, why WOULDN’T you interview every possible candidate? If only to go over their ideas, and see what both young AND established coaches around the league think?
You’re just freaking out because you’re an impatient fan. Relax.

I love fans who freak out because Allen and McCoy are from *gasp* DENVER!!!
I hate the Broncos. They’re my least favorite team in the league, by far. But you’d have to be completely and absolutely nonobjective to think that Dennis Allen didn’t do a tremendous job with that Denver defense – a defense with almost nothing in the secondary besides Bailey, and a team we all thought wouldn’t be able to stop the run. McCoy? He got TIM TEBOW to lead the Broncos to the playoffs.

This is exactly the problem. You’ve been conditioned by following an Al Davis-run team to freak out at every potential offseason move because Crazy Al was running the team. He’s not anymore.
Good teams – teams that know what it’s like to win – take their time to make decisions. Look at the Colts. They JUST fired Caldwell. The 49ers? They knew Harbaugh was their guy, but they still did other interviews. Were they wasting their time? No. They’re doing what a real organization does – makes deliberate, methodical choices based on gathering all the information they have available to them.
No reason not to interview former head coaches who took over teams that were an absolute mess at the time. After all, the Raiders are exactly that. Would be worth talking to them if only to find out where it went wrong with their former teams.

——————————-
At some point these cats just have to ball. Oddly enough though, did you see how poorly the Saints & Packers targets made Brees & Rodgers look last weekend? I was thinking to myself “the Raiders are more talented than that!” but we’re talking about one game, not a career or even a season.
——————-
I agree. I was thinking the same thing. When Nicks jumped up and made the grab from Eli at the end of the first half, my first thought was “Wow” what a grab. Then I thought about it and said, “Isn’t that what a WR is supposed to be able to do?” If the ball doesn’t get batted down, and its catchable if you jump for it, it should be EXPECTED that an NFL WR catches it with their hands? That was the big deal with Ford and Moore. All of a sudden, there were WRs on our team that know how to catch a ball with their hands. The weird thing is, that’s the norm on other teams. Given that these two guys have unbelievable hands, the point about Lal is: Ok they can catch. Now teach them how to get open.

To everyone in such a big hurry. Good coaches are coming and going right now and will be for the next month as Coaches dismiss and retool staffs. Yes we may be missing out on someone but if we wait maybe someone then comes free that was not there before. I would rather wait and get the right HC and also allow Reggie to glean as much info as he can especially from OC’s and DC’s that had success with us this year. Even ones that did well overall and dealt with adversity such as Houston’s staff would be good to talk to. If they have no potential to possibly be considered I do not think that would be fair but it could be Allen, McCoy or Bowles is HC material and we have to do due diligence to figure it out and glean valuable info in the meantime.

But everyone loves “Gio”
==========
Sharper has those bum azz knees. Thats why no one picked him up. He’s pretty much done and IMO should be in the Hall of Fame some day.

Moss got my vote after hearing tice and the Whig as possible hc. ..

Me too, it is like he is using the realtor trick of showing us some really crappy houses before trying to sell us on the one he really wants us to buy.
It is working! Moss!

Just saw Mike Florio interviewing some dude from the Vikings. The Vikings guy said it’s down to Minneapolis, LA, and another “unnamed community” for the Vikings, but he’s not committing to anything. Keep in mind that the Vikings’ lease is expired, so all they have to do is notify the league before 2/15 of their intention to move, and they’re gone. Florio personally thinks they’re staying, but the Rams are going back to LA.
I bring all this up because this could be us in a couple of years. Oakland needs to get off their lazy butts and get a stadium deal together NOW, or maybe they don’t deserve to have an NFL team.
January 18th, 2012 at 9:54 am
Deuce. .. Tice has been coaching since 97… that’s 15 yrs of coaching… his record as a hc is 32-33 with the Minnesota Vikings. . He’s coached in Jacksonville and now is an assistant in Chicago. .. the best year he’s had was getting the Vikings to an afc championship with the great Brett favre 4 yrs ago… the Guy is not the answer… we can do better than a journeyman coach that’s been in the league all those years without much success. . I prefer a young dynamic coach that shows promise than an old retread who’s opportunity has come n gone…anyday.. But that’s just my opinion… OK. And I find depressing to even be talking about guys Like this as our possible next hc.. it would really be a kick to my stomach..
January 18th, 2012 at 9:55 am
One nice thing about Tice is he was involved in game planning us and had to attack our defense etc… especially for the run and pass blocking. They had a tough situation with Cutler going down and he worked with a makeshift OL all season long and got 2k rushing out of it. It would be interesting to hear his perspective of our perceived weak spots and how to fix them. Not sure I would want him as a HC but if he has learned things and changed he could be a distant possibility.
January 18th, 2012 at 9:58 am
525… exactly my point Dakota. . But others don’t see it that way.. Tice would be a disaster. . IMO.
January 18th, 2012 at 9:59 am
Gios a ‘decent’ player IMO… Definitely a great backup. But I cant stand our defense ‘whiffing’ on tackles… What ever happened to the Oklahoma drills?? Pros should know how to tackle at this level, especially 1st round linebackers!!

Carson Palmers Creed, after R Lee Ermey is hired as HC:
This is my Football. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My football is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
My football, without me, is useless. Without my football, I am useless. I must fire my football true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to outscore me. I must score a TD before he can stop me. I will…
My football and myself know that what counts in this war is not the incompletions we fire, the noise of their crowd, nor the INTs we make. We know that it is the TDs that count. We will score…
My football is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its laces, its accessories, and how it will fly in any weather. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my football clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will…
Before God, I swear this creed. My football and myself are the offenders of my team. We are the masters of our enemy. We
are the saviors of my Nation.
So be it, until victory is Oakland’s and there is no enemy, and the Lombardi I will raise!

I just hope this clown Mark Davis is ready to shell out real money for a HC (head coach…not hair-cut), unlike Al. It was theoretically successful to have a mid-grade coach when the owner of the team knows football in and out (at least he perceived it that way).
With this guy Mark looking for things like moving the team and getting a new stadium as #1 priority, I just hope he understands that unless you are good at finding a diamond on the rough, which he is not, you get what you pay for at the HC spot. Give McKenzie the budget for a real NFL coach. Perhaps re-tread coaches are going to be brought in because of the budget set for the HC.
I don’t have any confidence in Davis especially after that interview where he couldn’t answer questions and was trying to persuade the interviewer that he was “busy”. Reminded me of the interview with GW BUSH on his ranch after being in office for 3 months but spending only 2 weeks in Washington saying “I’ve been busy, I’ve been making decisions…you don’t have to be in Washington to work”

1. McCoy – Game planned us twice blew us up in 4th Q with option in one game put 20 on us with Orton.
2. Allen – Game planned us twice kept us to 23 in opener and 24 when they beat us
3. Tice – Helped with Martz Game planned us had to deal with Cutler out and us trying to take run away they scored 20 on us with bad QBing
4. Bolwes – They beat the crap out of us
5. GB Coaches did game plan us beat us badly but it probably was not a priority at that point as they were probably very confident.

I’m just trying to help you. If this is going to be your reaction every time someone is brought in for an interview or workout this offseason… well, it’s going to be a long offseason for you.
Mostly it just seems like you don’t understand the process at all. And it’s painful to watch someone get all reactionary as a fan instead of being able to objectively assess things.

Not saying that because I want to hire them (or think that they are awesome) I am saying that because they have analyzed our offense and/or defense and would probably have a lot to say on how to improve it. Obviously in some cases they found issues to exploit that may still be there. If they give really good answers and Reg thinks they have what it takes to HC then yea hire them. I don’t think he will do anything until he interviews Moss. Get ready for 2nd interviews!

No worries, bro.
My only point is that I don’t think it’s ever a waste of time when you have an opportunity to pick the brains of key coordinators throughout the league.
Especially when those coordinators are former coaches, who came into organizations that were a mess, with rosters full of lower-tier players and malcontents.
Whoever the Raiders hire is going to be coming into a similarly difficult situation. Always good to pick the brains of guys who have been there.

you appear to be the bedrock of even-mindedness here this morning.
it is difficult to imagine how some of YOU PEOPLE have are denegrating Reggie McKenzie because after a mere ten days on the job he hasn’t satisfied every slobbering emotional wish some of YOU PEOPLE have.
January 18th, 2012 at 10:24 am
Acknowledging his team’s “lack of focus and concentration,” embattled coach Mike Tice conceded after the Bears game that the controversy surrounding the party had hurt the Vikings’ effort. “If I was to say it didn’t affect us at all,” Tice said, “I’d be lying to you.” Both Tice and his boss, Wilf, a New Jersey real estate developer who purchased the team from Red McCombs for a reported $600 million last May, seem to be grasping for ways to address the team’s multitude of problems. According to one Minnesota player who was present last Friday for Wilf’s “intense,” profanity-laced address to the team, the owner at one point vowed he would discover which players were responsible for planning the boat party and threatened to remove them from the roster.
Since September 2002, when star wideout Randy Moss (who was traded to the Oakland Raiders last March) bumped a traffic officer with his car and later pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors, Minnesota fans have endured a slew of off-the-field embarrassments (box, page 50), including sexual-assault allegations, a ticket-scalping imbroglio involving Tice and some of his assistants, and the introduction of the term Whizzinator into the football lexicon, courtesy of running back Onterrio Smith.
Just when it seemed things couldn’t get more surreal, there came news of the boat party. Stephen Doyle, a Minnesota attorney who represents the cruise company, alleges that his clients witnessed graphic sex acts by a number of passengers, with some crew members invited to participate. (Though it is not clear how many of the 90 or so passengers were Vikings, crew members gave the police the names of 17 players they said they saw during the cruise.) Many Minnesotans are appalled. “Maybe if this happens in L.A. or New York, folks would say this is just another day in the life of an NFL player,” says Dean Johnson, the state’s senate majority leader. “But not in Minnesota. There are still moral expectations here. I never thought I’d live long enough to want to see Randy Moss come back to Minnesota to be a role model.”
Four-time Vikings Pro Bowl center Matt Birk, who was not on the cruise, could only shake his head at his teammates’ having sullied the franchise’s reputation yet again. “We put the fun in dysfunctional,” said Birk, who is on the injured reserve list with a hip ailment. “You look at all the off-the-field stuff that’s gone on over the past few years, and it’s laughable. I think everybody on that boat knows he screwed up, and the only thing I can hope comes out of this is that, with guys having to do some explaining to their wives and dealing with damage to their reputations and perhaps facing criminal penalties, this will scare them straight.”
On Sunday, at Wilf’s behest, NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue flew to Chicago for a 90-minute meeting with the Vikings’ owner. According to league spokesman Greg Aiello, Tagliabue told the owner he had inherited a staff that “lacked discipline, structure and accountability.” (On Sunday the Vikings hired retired FBI agent Dag Sohlberg as the team’s full-time director of security.) Aiello said the NFL is monitoring the situation and that players who took part in the party could face discipline under the league’s personal-conduct policy. He said Tagliabue was “disappointed because [the controversy] impacts on the respect that the public has for the NFL and its players.”

Much larger sample to draw from. If Hue went 8-8 for four straight seasons I don’t think he’d have many defenders, even if he lost McFadden, his QB went down, he was saddled with a terrible DC and the owner died in each of those four seasons.

DECEMBER 15–Four Minnesota Vikings players were charged today with lewd conduct for their roles in a ribald October party boat excursion on Lake Minnetonka. Quarterback Daunte Culpepper and three teammates–Bryant McKinnie, Fred Smoot, and Moe Williams–were each hit with three misdemeanors, according to District Court criminal complaints, copies of which you’ll find below. The complaints offer very explicit details of the alleged behavior of the four athletes (butt groping, sex toy usage, assorted oral favors, topless lap dancing, etc.) during the October 6 floating excursion. A criminal probe by the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office began after crew members complained that some of the booze-soaked party’s 90 guests engaged in public sex romps. The trip was cut short after the boat’s captain became alarmed by the raucous behavior of partygoers. Along with the four Vikings charged, about a dozen other players were reportedly on board during the party, which came during a bye week for the NFL club

That was the big deal with Ford and Moore. All of a sudden, there were WRs on our team that know how to catch a ball with their hands. The weird thing is, that’s the norm on other teams. Given that these two guys have unbelievable hands
***
Arj,
I agree with most of what you said. I think JFORD has the ability & desire to be a playmaker – however!! too many drops, fumbles & bad routes to allow me to see he should even start for this football team. I would NEVER say he has “unbelievable hands”. In fact, I wouldn’t be upset if we traded the guy for a 2nd rounder if theres a team willing to give us one.
DHB, Moore, Ford, Murphy & Schilens all have the same issue. potential doesn’t always add up to production. Call it the “Jerry Porter virus” if you will. consistancy is a HUGE problem that has plagued this unit for years

It is obvious Reggie is using the search to pick the brains of those we played last year.He is using these interviews to more than likely get feedback on our roster to better evaluate it.Seems like a damn smart thing to do-get unbiased opinions about some of the players instead of just going by what people within the organization say.

I saw Winston Moss breaking down the 3-4 defense scheme on YouTube. .. the Guy sounds like he wholeheartedly has command of his coaching ability… I think he would be an excellent DC… by the way.. bresnahan is officially not the Raiders DC anymore.. his contract ran its couse yesterday!!

I think given a training camp, pre-season and a healthy offense Palmer is gonna be fine. He kind of passed on the frying pan and was tossed right into the fire. If we had a better D scheme in place and a DC who had a feel for the game, Palmer would be the rave and Hue be genious. But that’s all water under the bridge now. WTF!

What you don’t get is that Steeler’s and Ravens fan have the most respect for Palmer because he used to beat them every year. Those are not weak teams with poor defenses.

I’ve had that since I was in Utah, Laker fans wanting me to come here,” Williams said Monday. “It’s definitely flattering. I’ll address all that when the time is right.”
When my colleague J.A. Adande asked if playing at Staples Center and walking around town the last couple of days made him think about spending more time here one day, Williams smiled and said, “I like the warm weather out here. I live right up the street in San Diego.”

and if howard running hook hits 90% of the time his he should be shooting atleast 95% from the field.
cause his dunks are 99%

Lol.. Didnt know anyone would take my % that literal.
So a 44% FT shooter scores 20 a game on all dunks apparently. Nice. Must be some kind of record.

Agreed.
Id probably back off my stance on him having a ‘go to move’. I think his go to move is over-powering and using his superior athleticism.
But he has grown into the hooks a lot.

I don’t think it’s a big deal that Reggie Mac hasn’t interviewed any Packer asst coaches (yet).
I’d venture to guess he knows Moss, Philbin, Clements, Capers & Perry pretty well, being with GB for 18 years!
Question is, who else is out there? Is anybody better?
I don’t want a guy to be Head Coach, just because I know him. I want him because he’s the best possible HC on the market!

If this what’s happening then it’s a smart move. Although I don’t see what Mornhinweg has to do with that since we haven’t played the Eagles in a few years. So who’s to say that’s the reason for the Tice interview if he’s interviewing guys like Mornhinweg as well who didn’t have that experience against the Raiders in 2011.
January 18th, 2012 at 1:19 pm

Idiot AL should have hired him 10 yrs ago instead of the scheknell plungs (German expression for “notable un-notables) for HC’s.
Reggie, the Raiders don’t need has-been GB exec’s or staff members; don’t act as if the Raiders are midgets standing on the shoulders of the GB giant. GB is fallible as we saw against the NY, and are weak at defense. Look toward the 49′ers as your template then come up with a new applicable for the Raiders.
BTW, what has Winston Moss done for anyone lately ??

Lefty,
we don’t know when the contracts of those asst coaches expire. Highly doubt anybody has been “fired” before the new HC gets a chance to see who’s here and if he wants to find asst coaches elsewhere

********************************************************
I wonder if it has something to do with all the big contracts that we have that are going to be hard to get rid of, the lack of depth on the roster, and the fact that we have no draft picks this year.
To me, those are the biggest hurdles this tem has to overcome. Which is why I’m glad McKenzie’s here. Hue Jackson’s heart might have been in the right place, but no way he overcomes it faster than a guy like McKenzie.
I mean, why else would anyone consider the Dolphins over the Raiders, for example? Their owner is a clown, and they have to get past the Patriots and the Jets to get anywhere.
January 18th, 2012 at 4:02 pm
it’s late, but let me chime in none the less.
i have a suspicion that mark wanted hue gone during the gm hiring process. once mckenzie accepted the offer and came onboard, mark decided that he would have mckenzie fire hue under his watch as gm so as to show that mckenzie was in charge. mckenzie, being the new gm and wanting to appease mark, fired hue as he mentioned in the press conference (putting his name on it as the gm now in charge).
fast forward to today — now that the coaching search is underway, mckenzie is finding that getting someone better than hue is turning out to be more of a tougher task than he originally had anticipated. somehow, his short list (as he mentioned in the press conference) morphed into this massive (just get someone better than hue to save face) list. so, now he’s scrambling to get someone onboard, while playing it cool and portraying that he’s under control.
how does one get to thinking like this? 1. paranoia (if you’ve been a raider fan for any length of time, then this comes with the territory) 2. look at list of interview candidates mentioned thus far. you know the list…
i have a very hard time believing that these candidates would have been high on any gm’s must have list; even for a new gm. then add the possibility that mark may not want to spend competitive money on a real hc and now you have mckenzie in an even tougher spot.
on the surface, it looks as though keeping hue and letting him pick his staff would have been the prudent move for mckenzie in his first year, but only time will tell.
my suspicion may be way way off; i certainly hope so. i hope mckenzie knows exactly what he’s doing and really has that top candidates list he claimed in the press conference and that he’s just being diligent, asking lots of questions during these interviews, and getting information to finally make a big splash soon. let’s hope.
