Tice interview set for Tuesday; McCoy a finalist in Miami
By Steve Corkran
Wednesday, January 18th, 2012 at 1:52 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy is supposed to interview for the Raiders head coaching vacancy in Denver today with Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie. If so, it might not mean much.
McCoy reportedly is one of three finalists for the Miami Dolphins coaching vacancy. One of the others is Dolphins interim coach Todd Bowles, who interviewed with McKenzie at the start of this process.
In other news, Bears offensive coordinator Mike Tice is scheduled to interview with McKenzie on Tuesday about the vacancy created by the firing of Hue Jackson on Jan. 10.
As for the Raiders assistant coaches, those under contract now are free to seek employment elsewhere, given the Raiders didn’t notify them Tuesday if they are going to be kept around.
League rules specify that coaches under contract are to be notified by the third Tuesday after the regular season ends if they aren’t going to be kept around or might be terminated.
McKenzie said that he will let the head coach make the determination on which coaches are asked back. Given the Raiders don’t have a head coach, no decision has been made.
No word yet on whether McKenzie has set up an interview with Green Bay Packers assistant head coach/linebackers coach Winston Moss.
Moss is thought to be a favorite for the job, based upon his strong relationship with McKenzie, as well as the fact that McKenzie has told people in the past that he intended to hire Moss as his head coach if he ever got in a position to make such a call.

Chris,we can’t be sure what his reasons are,I’m guessing just like everyone.However,Mornhinweg is well thought of around the league.All the others who have been interviewed played against us this past season.And most,if not all,are associated with offenses.

Something else to consider is both those guys were NFC North head coaches during the span of Chubby Checker’s 18-year career in Green Bay. So he may have seen something he liked about them during that time?

MIKE WHITE FOR HC

What ever happened to Mike White after he got canned? Did he go on to work as an OC elsewhere in the league after that? I’d look it up but Wikipedia is on strike.

interviewing bottom feeders because Mark, like his father, doesn’t believe in paying much for coaches?
January 18th, 2012 at 1:59 pm
Who said that Reggie Mac is a good talent of coaching?… he may know players, but coaching?…
Him being a packer personnel guy all that time, one would think that he had a list of coaches he would someday hire if he became a GM… some mistery up and coming coach…
the current list of gm’s doesnt warrant that idea… it sasys that he is just going trough all the current coordinators….
where is the genius in that?

January 18th, 2012 at 2:04 pm
There really aren’t that many big name coaches out there, is there? Jon Gruden and Bill Cowher will never be asked to coach here so they don’t count.
January 18th, 2012 at 2:04 pm
To me, finding great head coach is a lot like trying to find the next great QB in the draft. It is a crapshoot, hit and miss. All great HC’s and QB’s at some point started for the first time. Only time will tell if our next HC was a good hire.

+++++++++++++++
Does this even make sense to anyone else?
The coaches under contract are free to look elsewhere because the Raiders have NOT notified them by the third tuesday that they will NOT be taken back or may be terminated?
Seems to me that such rule would prevent the coaches from seeking employment elsewhere, because the Raiders have NOT told them they are at risk, according to Corkran….or am I just reading this wrong?

I read some vikings fans comments about Tice, believe it or not most of them feel he got a raw deal in Minny, owner not paying players to stay etc. Think we can still do better though
January 18th, 2012 at 2:16 pm
I hate to even think about it….a Bronco coach as our HC, but what about this Dennis Allen guy?
DC of a pretty good defense.
I would like to see us hire a defensive-minded HC, and Moss, Bowel and this Allen guy seem like the only names on the defensive side of the ball being looked at thus far.
Give me Bowels or Allen over Moss…the GB defense sucks azz.

I agree with some of you guys that dont want a Green Bay defensive coach here. That defense was very average.
Why Shotenheimer is not getting a call? that guy alone is better that all these coordinators… he would build a tough mother defense….
What about a college coach?…

Definitely do not want ANY of the Bronco’s assistants coaching for us. Better off looking at the NFL teams with top 10 defensens the past couple of years and lure their coaches here. Makes sense what others are saying on about R.M picking the minds of these coaches and receiving unbiased player evaluations.

Kelly is new to big-time college football, and he’s loving turning Oregon into a powerhouse.
He’s probably good for another 3 years in Oregon, before he starts thinking about moving on.

Gannon almost singlehandedly pulled this team up from the morass of sewage that Al Davis had turned it into, just by sheer willpower and by holding people accountable.
Loser players fought back against him and wanted to retain the old Al Davis ways, but Gannon kept it afloat, then he left, and we splashed right back into the sewage.
Sad deal.

Heck, if Al had been around and we went with Kyle Boller at QB (after, of course, Al had signed David Garrard to a 5 year, $40 million dollar deal only to discover he was injured), the Raiders would have went 5-11 and Hue certainly would have been fired.

Don’t be dense, the Buc players said they knew the plays right before the snap. You can’t give that kind of advantage to an already great defense and hope to survive. We needed the extra week between the AFC Championship and the SB to change things up, but for whatever reason there was only one week to prepare.

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.

Did Hue even get an interview before he got the boot? May of missed that. Just sayin….
January 18th, 2012 at 3:19 pm
Hell yes to Marty. He will do what a head coach does on game day. Make the right calls, manage the game, and know the rules. That would have gave us at least two games and the confidence for maybe more.

==========================================
I agree with Lefty. It’s not just that we lost, it’s how we lost. Jackson did not have control of a game, he could not keep control of the team. Man if Davis was alive it would have been great. After the 15th Raider penalty of the lst half in KC, where they got the fake FG TD called back, Davis would have emerged around the 20 yard line, in his walker, going like one billionth of a mile an hour, towards the sidelines to kick Jackson in the ASS.

Reggie needs to get in Mark’s ear and ask him to fire Trask and Herrera. As long as they’re here, no real HC is coming here. NFL coaches are a fraternity. They talk. And they’re not stupid. They know it’s the same old Raiders if Herrera is here.

Former Raider Coach, offensive co-ordinator

Absolutely. Especially after the three game winning streak that preceded the slide, which proved that the team could win despite the injuries and the new QB. No way Al would have put up with a finish to the season like that.

Trask and Herrera are going no were and why should they?
Amy’s job is purely financial she has no say so in personnel matters…why would a coach even care who she is lets be real here.
Herrera is in charge of traveling arrangements so again he has nothing to do with players or personnel so AGAIN why would a HC care about these kinds of employees who’s day to day function and duties have absolutely nothing to do with players coaches schemes etc.

Amy is NOT responsible for our win loss record only the profit and loss on the financial side of the business. Therefore she has no control over the roster or scheme.
Madoffs secretary fetches him coffee so she has no control over how he invests his money.

Hire Rich Gannon: excellent former Superbowl QB, talented, highly intelligent, disciplinarian, great football savvy, addicted to work.
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 ??

Didn’t Al have to sell part of the team to liquidate some cash? Didn’t we go from top-5 in NFL merchandise to bottom-10?
Didn’t we have a top-payroll while losing 11 games 7 seasons in a row?
Didn’t we have blackouts galore 2004-2010?
And Amy is in charge of the business/$/cap side?
The guy has a point as far as how much she’s contributed.

Reggie you aren’t a bag lady in an alley scrounging through dumpsters. Quit following Stink AL’s taint regarding the search for an HC and sub-coaches.
We need an HC and sub-coaches who create a philosphy with schemes to give the Raiders a strategy the NFL has never seen, which will bring us to dynasty.

Moss was always the choice reggie has already been heard saying Moss would be his guy if he ever got a GM gig. He just trying to make it look like he is doing “due dilligence”. Moss will be the HC.

So it wasn’t a bad dream? We’re really interviewing Tice?
January 18th, 2012 at 4:08 pm
I would personally like to see the OC from the Saints as our Head Coach. I’m not too fond of all these former HC’s getting interviewed but then I consider the fact that Belichick was hired for the 2nd time with the Patriots after coaching the Browns unsuccessfully and look what he became. I guess it can sometimes have more to do with who you team that Head Coach with and if we have the right GM, maybe those guy’s can be more successful.
If not…lets just hire Peyton Manning as Head Coach

Head coaching search is rocky at best right now. Major Al lackeys still with team. If anyone can come up with a better reason I’m all ears.
********************************************************
I don’t know. With the pressure to succeed early so prevalent in the league nowadays, maybe he looked at the cap issues, the big contracts that are going to be difficult to overcome, the lack of depth and the fact that we have no draft picks to speak of this year and thought that the timing wasn’t right.
Or maybe he just doesn’t like the Raiders, lol.

other than Belichick, is there another former NFL coach fired, who then came back and succeeded? Pete Carroll is trying to get there.

They’re not interviewing candidates at this point. They interviewed some people yesterday, then announced McCoy’s coming back for a second interview, and all of a sudden McCoy says “No Thanks” to us. That says that unless they hit a major logjam with his contract or something, he’s got the job.

Responsible for the some terrific public relations coups and helping realize the Al’s vision of a global Raider Nation. Think Filipino day, Mexican Heritage Day, etc. Also had a hand in Raider retail success, web site, overseeing outstanding local charity work with kids and building parks in the easy bay.

As for McCoy, I can imagine him telling Reggie flat-out “Thanks for coming out here, but I just took the Miami job. Please don’t say anything publicly until we announce it.”
Reggie’s a smart guy and knows how it works. He won’t say anything.
January 18th, 2012 at 4:17 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.
January 18th, 2012 at 4:18 pm

19 losing seasons out of the past 29 seasons, since the Raiders last Superbowl victory in 1983 have left the club bereft of ample funds.
Remember Davis’ have a controlling share of the Raiders of less than 60%. Never, ever think AL or now Mark and Mrs. Davis are “owners” of the Raiders. Raiders are a partnership: a business entity in and of itself.
AL had to divest part of his ownership interest several years ago to outside investors to raise cash. The investors are now partners with an ownership interest in the club roughly based upon the parameters set forth in the partnership agreement roughly equal to their investment.
If the Davis family as majority owners overstep their authority the minority partners should commence a legal action for oppression. Current law is that majority owners must work for the good of all partners, minority included.
Unfortunately AL, once his dementia set in during the past 10 seasons, completely breached his duties toward the club and made it the laughstock of the league. However, even while mentally incompetent for the most part, AL was great at winning lawsuits and bamboozled and beat down the minority owners threats of an oppression action against him.
Now, the Raiders are financially questionable, and Mark is already talking about special financial concessions stadium builders and the people of yet unnamed municipalities are to give the Davis family for the privilege of hosting the Raiders at a new facility. Come back to reality Mark. You must again produce dynasty to hold such leverage. Your Daddy screwed that one up and it’s up to you to bring it back.
Anyway, thank God AL is dead, and that a resurrgence of life may be churning in the club.

One more thought: Reggie and Moss have known each other for years now. I doubt a formal “interview” is needed, as they’re already friends, know each other’s football strategy, etc.
This means that Reggie is going through every other candidate he might want to hire. If any of them blows him out of the water, then great! If not, he’ll bring Moss in last, discuss contract terms, and hire him probably that same day.

MiamiRaider,
AL was a blithering vegetable in a state of almost total dementia for the past 10 years. How else could we be rid of him, except that he died.
Thank God AL is dead !

I don’t know everything that goes on behind closed doors at the Raiders facilities nor am I an NFL scout or insider like some of the guys on here. I love reading most of the posts because I learn plenty and when ever I come across a fan talking shet about my boys, I shut em down. It’s just crazy that so called Raider fans come in her dogging the franchise that they support and then you have all the extra curricular activities that has absolutely nothing to do with football. Pisses me off. Oh well, I’m not going anywhere and there will be a time when I am no longer a Raider fan and thats when I’m
DEAD.

Am I glad that he’s no longer in charge of the Raiders? Yes.
Am I glad that he’s dead. NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Human life and its value far outweighs even football, believe it or not.

It’s okay dude, please don’t be confused. As soon as the club begins approaching dynasty, you’ll look back and recall what I am saying is correct……since you, the fans, the Nation, and I, will be on Cloud 9 once again after 29 long season of loss, and imperfection.

RaiderDuck, I know what you are saying as I was once diagnosed with a fatal disease and beat it. However, I wouldn’t heavy up so much. This is a blog, and is supposed to be fun, with open and even impertinent expression!

Al D, Thank God you overcame that fatal disease. Doesn’t that sound better? lol
I meant that too.

I have a friend who was wooping it up after after al davis died. . He was laughing and cheering like he had won the lottery. . Some of us just stared at him. . With dismay.. I actually felt bad for him for cheering al Davis’s death… well the following week after Davis passed his father had a heart attack and died.. he was crying like a lil boy… and I felt bad for him.. you reap what you sow man..

I don’t think personally “its cool AL died”. I thank God that AL passed, so that his outrageous and unfettered, demented control of the Raiders came to an end, so that we can again experience dynasty on principles that AL created in the first place.
January 18th, 2012 at 5:24 pm
People that wish death on others don’t deserve anything good in their own lives… we get what we deserve. . There’s no dynasty comming to the Raiders now just because davis died.. incredible to listen to garbage like this from supposed Raiders fans..

Please folks,help needed….I’m in Europe,and still trying to figure out the best radio station talking Raiders 24/7. I’m listening to 95.7 the game,but recently they just talk about the whiners,and I’m rather pissed….any suggestions for something better?
Thanks,Nation!
January 18th, 2012 at 5:41 pm
Man, I am a little worried, I can’t lie. I wasn’t impressed with McKenzie overall presence during the press conference. Now seeing his head coaching candidtates and I am even more worried. Letting Hue go is going to be the biggest mistake we have made in a long time and we have had some blunders. He was outspoken, made some mistakes but had endured alot this year as a first year HC and produced in the area he had control in, really though. We should have been a playoff team this year but the injury bug kicked our arse. With Hue, I truly believed we would be a playoff team to be reckoned with next year. Now I feel as if we are back at square one. McKenzie better know what he is doing….

chip kelly, how come he hanst atracted interest? that would be a very intriguin hire….

Born and raised in Portland Oregon ducks is all we got out her other then blazers. Ducks are life here in Oregon. Chip was linked to the dolphins as far as being contacted for a head coach spot. Chip is king out here he pretty much has it made awesome team getting good recruits comming here. State of the art practice facility the one and only Nike backing him and this school. Chip would be a great OC in the nfl but have a good feeling he gonna be here go awhile.

Word is he’s trying to show Miami how committed he is to their HC gig.
I’m guessing he knows he doesn’t have a real shot at it and why risk losing the Miami job (which he has a better chance for) by interviewing with Raiders.
January 18th, 2012 at 5:48 pm
We all want change for the better. We all want to win, but i still say firing your HC every dang year is bad for business.
It shows lack of stability.
Everyone wants a situation where they can feel somewhat secure.
What message have the Raiders been sending EVERY year almost?
January 18th, 2012 at 5:48 pm

January 18th, 2012 at 5:49 pm
284. They aren’t going to talk about anything else this week. That is the best station to get Raiders news. I heard an idiot ex 49er Randy Cross on KNBR yesterday. The moron thinks the 49ers winning their 1st SB in 1981 was the 1st time the Bay Area had a winner. The A’s already had won 3 WS and the Raiders 2 SB and even the Warriors had 1 NBA Title. I can’t listen to that station. They act as if Oakland does not exist.
January 18th, 2012 at 5:51 pm
I hope the 49ers win the Super Bowl so the Raiders will feel like schmucks and try harder.

So Ghostraiders, I suppose you have a little shrine in your living room dedicated to the memories of: 1) Adolf Hitler; 2) Suddam Hussein; 3) Momamar Khaddfi; 4) sad at their passing and hoping that they all re-incarnate to bring back upon this world their cheery ways and actions?
Thanks for your moralizing pal, I am just not buying it.
January 18th, 2012 at 6:06 pm
293. I’d rather the Patriots win! Your logic did not work the last 4 times the 49ers won it all.
January 18th, 2012 at 6:09 pm
294. I don’t think Raider fans celebrated when they heard the news of Al’s passing. I was fed up with his style of course, but I honestly stopped bashing him about a year before his passing. You can tell his time was coming.

When you look at Harbaugh and compare him to Hue, it is embarrassing. Hue talked smack and could not back it up. Harbaugh is working wonders with Alex Smith! I think that ends this Sunday, but come on. They, just like us, hadn’t did a darn thing since 2002!
January 18th, 2012 at 6:30 pm
I’m willing to wait and see what happens before passing judgement, but Reggie has done nothing to impress me thus far.
Firing an 8-8 HC who didn’t stand a chance with that POS defense AND coordinator (who he had no say in hiring), and then bringing in guys like Morninwheg and Mike Tice doesn’t do anything to get excited.
The only positive we have to go on is Ron Wolf and Madden recommended him, and that he worked for GB.
January 18th, 2012 at 6:33 pm
Beach #300:
The 49′er conversion is nothing short of breathtaking; I hope ours goes as well and as quickly.
As far as NY beating SF on Sunday: I feel a NY win is doubtful. The reason is, the Giants were beneficiaries of a GB team who suffered from a 1st seed 2 week layoff and came in flat, lazy and unmotivated. Also, McKenzie’s prospecting of exec’s and sub-coaches had to have been unnerving to the players.
As I watched the game it seemed to me that GB beat itself and handed a victory to NY that it did not truly earn.
We’ll see …..

Agreed. It’s wait and see mode now.
The hiring of this next coach is going to be critical.
It will either be 3 years of building a true winner or it will be a waste of time for 3 years and set this team back…again.

I’m not a fan of Philbin either. Condolences to his families loss also.
However, he doesn’t seem like a legit head coach and a leader of men. Another guy piggy backing off of McCarthys play calling.

Who was the last Guy al davis sent to the gas chamber?? Who did he kill or murder?? How would You like it if someone said they wanted your father, mother, friend etc to die..?? Don’t you get it?? Its his team.. you have the right to move on and cheer for another team.. he made mistakes.. yea.. but you mean to tell me your better off as a Raiders fan that he’s dead?? And your happy because it means more team wins.. listen to yourself man.. its really sad!!.. the Guy blew it as an owner his last years… but with your attitude.. do you think you deserve having a Superbowl champion Raiders team.. ?? I sure don’t. . Not with your backward thinking..
January 18th, 2012 at 7:15 pm
Something over 40 years in the making can not be solve in 2 weeks. This is new territory given we had only one person virtually making all the decisions!
