I'm hoping he doesn't end up here in some capacity. We have too many old coaches roaming the building as it is.

Dom Capers still around with this terrible toupee?

is Canales still going to name drop this guy as some sort of role model after this year? 

I mean Canales owes his entire career to him. It’s not just like some guy who was worked under for a year or so. For whatever that’s worth ha

Last I heard he's around somewhere. I'm not sure what he does though. 

As I interpret it, Evero’s confidant and sounding board. I wanna know what Jim Caldwell could possibly be doing.

What really sunk Pete is how hard he went to bring in Geno Smith who is not only not a good quarterback but an asshat to boot.

I wouldn’t have hired him myself. As an old guy about his age, that was a multi year hard job, better suited for a late 40, early 50 something than a 70 something. 

When I go to work now, one job takes me two days to recover from lol. Used to work doubles all week, months on end.  And go out afterwards. Different world.

Even if Geno sucks, the whole team is just straight ass.  3 wins is completely unacceptable for someone like Pete Carrol.  You hire a coach like Pete for his floor, not his ceiling.  When that floor is just as bad as anyone else, there's no point to having him in the building.

On the one hand the Raiders are the Raiders. But Pete has been living off that one Super Bowl win where the Denver Broncos basically never showed up from the first snap (must be nice) and his only other claim to fame is giving away the next Super Bowl by trying to cater to Russell Wilson instead of just giving the ball to Marshawn Lynch and winning the game. The Seahawks let Pete hit the road traded Metcalf hired Mike MacDonald and they are as good as they've been in years. Pete Carroll has just been overrated for quite awhile now. It is what it is.

Well he has also won a National Championship, and while it's not a 2nd Superbowl, it is an accomplishment.

The funny thing is I think there were expectations that the Raiders were going to be significantly better this year. Maybe not division winner better but not 1st overall pick in the draft bad either.

He was certainly a capable college coach. Seems he benefited greatly from the structure of the front office in his early days in Seattle. As much as it pains me to say. They are a very well ran organization for the most part.

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By strato · Posted

      We have taken two TEs in three seasons I think, and Sanders may not pan out or it may have been a sophomore slump, but we took a guy last year that was coming on.  I am not in favor of TE in round one and really don’t consider it a high priority in any round.

      Draft intel from ESPN’s Jordan Reid

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      Trevon Moehrig, Turk Wharton, Bobby Brown, Jaelen Phillips, Devin Lloyd, Nic Scourton Giving him 6 starters in 2 offseasons that cost boat loads of money or a 2nd round pick... Not exactly handing the man scraps. The point of the draft is to make the team better. You want to make this about Bryce. It isn't. It's about improving the team. And if anyone can look at our offense and go "we're good", they are lying to themselves. You give quarterbacks weapons. We SCREAMED for YEARS to give Cam some help. But now because we are trying to do it for Bryce, you all are saying we are coddling him because of his "deficiencies". It's a double-standard because you don't like the guy, clearly. But even if he does fail, guess what? The next guy has help too. Win-win.

      we have 2 solid/above average (however you want to phrase that) wr's, which is more than half the league at least.  We dont need to be blowing more first round capital just to placate Bryce and his limitations.   We have one absolute stud (probably top 10 wr) in tmac and we have a high floor guy with insane potential if he can stay healthy.  Yeah man we are in better shape than the bulk of the teams in the league.  If you need to add some speed or whatever, sure draft in the mid rounds or wait until tc cuts.  Its monumentally stupid to spend 3 straight firsts on a wr if thats the route they go.  ITs just more and more excuses for Bryce, thats where we are at now.    "How can bryce succeed without a big possession type wr (drafts 2 for him), how is bryce supposed to exceed without a speed guy......."   Its fuging never ending.  Give EE some goddamn help on defense for once
