And if we clean house here, who's doing all the hiring?
-
From Mark Davis? Oh, hell no
-
Dave Ziegler, hired January 30th 2022... Josh McDaniels, hired January 31st 2022 I've seen a couple of people talk about simultaneous hiring as if it were some kind of guarantee for success. It really isn't. McDaniels and Ziegler were hired together. Hell, they even had an extensive background of working together. Hiring circumstances don't guarantee anything.

...against mostly terrible teams. He really only had one quality win (Detroit) but also one painful loss in a horribly coached game against the Bucs where he stood by and watched Mike Evans score the same way repeatedly. That performance probably cost him the job as much as anything else.
-
I put them in the same category. Basically, "brains" as opposed to brawn. It's ultimately semantics...
-
Maybe, but I'm not so sure of that. One of the areas where I have questions about Reich is his depth chart decision making. The aforementioned Raheem Blackshear not getting reps previously is an example of why. Likewise, Tommy Tremble is starting to look decent but was sitting behind Ian Thomas on the depth chart.
-
It was reported previously that the Raiders "couldn't afford" to fire McDaniels because they couldn't muster the cash to pay two head coaches at once. Guess we'll find out...for the next four years.
-
This is never a good assumption. Davis is not someone i'd ever hold up as an example to follow.
-
Meanwhile in Chicago...
-
Never liked McDaniels as a head coach.. Granted, I could have seen hiring him over Matt Rhule, but hey... In years past though, I'd have taken him as an offensive coordinator in a heartbeat. Anymore, not so sure I'd even do that.
-
Good luck with that... The Raiders have been operating this way since Davis's father was alive and it's gotten them nowhere. The alternative is to not be dumb.
-
Fast processing is part of being smart.
-
You are living in a parallel universe...or more correctly, a fantasy world. I like Steve Wilks, but as a head coach he's heavily overrated by the fanbase here for last season. Hell, he's running a defense with some of the best talent in the league and in danger of getting fired.
-
This is what that approach gets you. Football doesn't work like real world businesses, at least not established ones. It's closer to a start up that you have to get off the ground...repeatedly. Firing coaches after one or two years and thinking that will make you a winner is pretty much like guaranteeing your wealth and success by buying a lottery ticket.
-
Balls aren't much good without brains. Unless Davis goes outside for help, the next GM and coach will still be his pick. (and probably be lousy...again)
-
-
Polian was around when they were talking about Reich because he's an old acquaintance. (and a big fan)
-
I never pay attention to that talk. It's pretty much always bull. It's what they say privately that matters.

That guy has a similar name to a legit account I've seen. He got me once before -
Official Trade Deadline & Speculation Thread
Mr. Scot replied to Bear Hands's topic in Carolina Panthers
Agreed. But this is something... How exactly does something like that happen? -
Speaking of people who are on the hot seat...
-
FYI: Post trade deadline tends to be a good time to watch the waiver wire. Guys that teams were looking to get something in return for often end up being released if no trade partners are found.

I'd probably take water as a playing surface over turf 🫥
