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.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
