The reports were the same there as in New England. The inexperience of both coaches was so evident that the owners knew they had to move on immediately. The big things were scheduling and preparation were so inadequate, once you paired that with terrible in game decisions, and losses it was a wrap. Hence, now you have two grown ups in both places. The Raiders were looking for and elder statesman though for sure with the options in their search.

What is curious about this is the fact that the Raiders don't have a QB. 

I would say that Pete Carroll is the kind of coach I would love to play for.   I have a few friends who were former NFL and college players and we discussed what coach we'd like to play for (about a year or so ago)--and coaches we'd not like.  All based on outsider's perspective (a few had some weak connections to the grapevine), which is usually not the same as an insider.

Popular coaches mentioned:  Andy Reid, Pete Carroll, Mike Tomlin, John Harbaugh, DeMeco Ryans, Dan Campbell.

Unpopular coaches mentioned:  Sean McVay, Doug Pederson, Mike McDaniel, Jim Harbaugh--Josh McDaniels and Jon Gruden came up as well. 

Understand, this was from a player's perspective and a few knew some of the coaches as assistants back when they played.  Mostly positive or mixed.

I'm surprised to see McVay in the unpopular list.

He seems like a coach who is liked by his players, he's an elite offensive mind, and he's won a SB, why is he in that list?

Have you ever worked for someone that was good at their job but tough to work for?  It can happen.

100%

But those other guys on the unpopular list have histories/stories of things that make people question them as a HC and/or why people wouldn't want to play with them.

I'd never heard of anything like that with McVay, which is why I was surprised he was on the list and asking why he'd be on that side of the ledger.

I bet Bill Belichick would be on that list too.  It seemed like a lot of players just put up with his approach because they were winning.  Sometimes the coach you need isn't the one you want.  That's why you need a coach if you think about it.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
