Oakland Raiders: The gift that keeps on giving.

Hate to lose him.. :shake:

He certainly lacks his dad's sexual magnetism.

Isn't that the d-coordinator from "Any Given Sunday?"

He's a very good linebacker coach and will likely further improve the play of Sio Moore and Khalil Mack by putting them in good position to "win" plays. If he does as well as a DC as he's done developing linebackers at USC and Seattle, he'll be a head coach someday soon.

This is probably the best hire the Raiders have made in years. Their defense has the potential to be very good.

Solid imo

.

The race car driver?

I'm dumb his name was cal Norton I think

Then he's been awfully lucky in his career to have coached guys like Clay Matthews, Rey Maualuga and Brian Cushing at USC along with Seattle's great line backing corp.

Noob coordinator that has a rep for not being chalkboard smart?

I'm good with this hire, go get 'em... Jack.

The antivirus guy?

It's a good hire for them. Del Rio fancies himself a defensive guy anyway, so im sure he'll have plenty of input for his rookie DC.

That Brown.

LMAO

In the interest of disclosure, I'm a big fan of his pappy. Live in his hometown and got to meet Ken seniors parents and tour their home with a close relative of theirs as a high schooler.

Their basement is like an art gallery of kickass old fight posters and trophys.

But what is his singing voice like?

doesn't really matter because DelRio will be calling the shots. Norton will be a DC in training forever as long as DelRio is coach.

He'll have all the input and say for sure:thumb:

Chiefs stay ahead of Raiders

Heard today the Raiders have like 59 million cap space.

That gives them ammo to put a veteran defense on the field next year.

Expecting them to start by adding Suh.

As much as I hate to say it, I'd have to say Jokeland. As crappy as they are, at least their receivers catch TDs. But then I'd think what team has a better chance at the playoffs in the next decade.... So I'd take no TDs and playoffs and choose KC.
My question is did they take Norton because he's who would go to Jokeland, or was he one of their first choices.

Suh has stated he's going to who ever offers the most money. so there's that.

Looks like Jim Browns evil bizarro twin.

I can see them improving to 4-12

I bet you're right, Norton will just be some scapegoat Cap'n Jack can pass the buck to when things go south.

Have fun with him and Del Rio, should be quite the show

They had to wait till the SB to higher him but could interview him before hand. I'd say they got their guy.

I always remember Norton Jr from the time he broke his leg exposing the bone on live tv. Anyone have that gif?

They will have more than that when they get rid of Swab

Did anybody hear of Norton being mentioned for any other jobs?

San Ramon High?

Oakland, where coaching careers go to die.

Yells a lot, doesn't know shit, and got a horrifying injury once as a player.

Congratulations. You guys just signed Tim Krumrie as your defensive coordinator.

LMAO

He was considered the top guy to become Atlanta's new defensive coordinator with Dan Quinn as the new Head Coach. When they decided to go with the Broncos linebackers coach, I was shocked.

Raiders putting together yet another joke of a coaching staff, starting with Jack Ass Rio. Might as well just contract that franchise at this rate.

Cal Naughton Jr?

Raiders putting together solid staff

Heard they are gonna axe Schaub and Smith and that will put them at 70 million under

Read Potroast wants to reunite with JDR- He's a solid DT- I read on ESPN that some top NFL guys think Knighton can be the best DT is he keeps his weight under control

I don't think Raiders go after Suh

I think they'll go after guys like Potroast, Randall Cobb and Rey Mauluaga, guys like that.. I also heard they are keeping a close eye on Greg Hardys trail and if he's found innocent he will become their #1 targeted FA

Pioli hires two saban guys. It should have shocked nobody. Once again, 2 of the top 3 on his list had a Parcells connection. Shocking.

Singletary part deux

What does that say about the guy if the dude whose been working with him the last few years won't bring him on staff?

I heard Del Rio wants to bring in Byron Leftwich

By my estimate, the Raiders must spend $180 million in cash over the next two seasons on their roster. That's a wee bit o money.

If the Raiders don't start spending some money they will have to divide up the cap space and give it to the players on the team ...

Spend baby spend...:thumb:

If I wanted to build a brain trust, the first thing I would do is recruit a bunch of ex-NFL linebackers.

Embarrassing coaching staff

Derek and the check downs sing the classics

Good hire. I like him. You guys would be loving it if you signed him.

LMAO

Where's the weirdest place you've jerked off?

Prison. Where else are Raiders fans allowed to go?

Yeah, but there's a huge difference between him stroking it in his cell at night, and whipping that puppy out right in front of the salisbury steak in the chow hall line.

Your sisters chest (if she is over 21 of course)

She is.

She only needs to be 16 in Kansas. 17 here in Missouri.

The biggest gift is Del Rio coaching that team. Nothing to see here.

If my team was hiring him, first question I would ask is why he didn't get the Seattle DC job if he's one of the best coaches there.

That said, my guess is that the Raiders swung and missed at most of their main choices and settled on a guy who could focus on developing Mack and some of those guys while Del Rio does most of the heavy lifting on defensive gameplans and playcalling...

still sucks to be a faider fan. :D

Raiders have had their fair share of losing seasons in the past decade but I cannot imagine being a Cheaps fan and having a real good team many years and choking every single time....

My God man, You had Joe Montana LMAO

Norton is just rah rah guy. He's not and x and o's guy. Not hardly.

one thing i dont get is how a Chiefs fan can talk down to any other team outside of Cleveland and Detroit. lol Thats where the Chiefs are lumped in there with in post season success over the last 40 years.

They still have more play off wins since 2002 then the Chiefs have had since 1970. That shit is shocking.

Yeah, but their best days are behind them. Imagine, having absolutely no hope for the future.

I looked on a Seattle board, a lot of them were not happy to hear he was leaving.

http://www.seahawks.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=108511

i.e. "He sets the intensity of practices. He lets every new player who walks through the door know how they should be approaching every waking moment on this team. His developmental skills are unparalleled . . . he coached like five or six All-American LBs at SC . . . multiple first round picks. Bobby Wagner is a Pro Bowler. K.J. Wright had 107 tackles this year. Bruce Irvin didn't know much about playing LB until Norton. Have you noticed how ridiculously intense so many of our players are? It's a big loss; there's no other way to slice it."

That tuck rule had to suck, my faider fan cuz always shows me the video complaining.

It sucked but what I have been saying for years is that if the Raiders played the kind of D after that call as they did before that call, no one would even remember it.

Raiders got jobbed but all they had to do was stop New England and the game would have been over.

Hell the Cheaps even helped the Raiders win a Superbowl

Dan Pastorini Thanks Cheaps

By the end of the season Raider fans will be saying:

"Norton I know you wanna **** me. And you know that I know that you know that I know that you know you want to **** me. So I'm going to bend over now, and when I do start ****ing. Waaaahhhhhh, a homina homina homina homina."

Oh it sucks beyond belief. This team is just cursed though and you can't deny it. The most snake bit team ever.

But before you can come on here and talk your typical offseason bs, get to .500. It'll all be the same. Season comes yall suck. And you go in hiding.

If winning again means I would have to go through the shit you guys go through every year, I would just about rather lose

A commitment to excrement

When I was in the Army I was stationed for a year in Savannah, Georgia. It was around 1973 and I was in the Sears store in the mall just walking around shopping, when I heard the PA announce that Heavy Weight Champion Ken Norton was in the store. I had no idea he was there, I don't know if it was even advertised. I walked out to the garden shop and there was Ken Norton. Not a big guy, there was maybe 6 people there including myself and maybe a couple of Sears Employees. He just stood there and we all looked at him, I didn't even get an autograph. Seemed like a nice guy.

I had another brush with a famous boxer. In 2001 when I was living in Abingdon, Maryland, the Suburbs of Baltimore, it was just after the Ravens won Super Bowl XXXV, boxer Hasim Rahman also lived in Abingdon. I believe he had just beaten Lennox Lewis for the title, the town of Belair, which is right next to Abingdon, gave him a parade. He was also a nice guy. Never met him up close, but the one person I use to see all the time in Abingdon was G. Gordon Libby. In the post office, at Bob Evans, he was everywhere and was a very scary looking guy. Someone I wouldn't want to cross. That is all, carry on.

That's good because I don't your team will be winning anything soon.

Chiefs couldnt throw one TD pass

Does anybody know how fuckin bad you have to be to accomplish that?

It's like certified helmet wearing reeruned

Haven't won a playoff game since Nixon was president

What a bad franchise, in fact Goodell should dock them a 6th rd pick for being an embarrassment to the NFL

I mean seriously, ya have a player that shows up to practice and blows out his brains.. you have Lamar Hunts son that rapes his reeruned cousin female in a wheel chair...

Chiefs weird.. Nobody cares about the Chiefs outside a 50 mile radius of that dump city.. it's why they never get a national TV game.. and when they do.. they get blown the fuck out by the Raiders in their own crib

Liddy was a straight up paid assassin, I bet he did look strange in person... how he ever blended in anywhere ever in his life is beyond me.

Enjoy your new defensive coordinator.

He'll go really well with your new offensive coordinator.

You guys will be even worse this year than you were last year.

Like 2-14 bad?

Like Carson Palmer barbershop quartet bad

Carson Palmer is a man among boys in the barbershop genre. His ethereal melodies have been reported to make nuns rip their habits off and throw their rosaries at his feet.
