NFL CountDown league News....
 

Adam and Mort reported:
More than likely Raiders to name Hue Jackson Head Coach this week AND then Hue could very well name Al Saunders his Offensive Coordinator. Said Saunders has been one of Al's favorite for a long time.

Hmmm, I just don't see it especially after the next report.

Al Davis was deducting $ from Tom Cable's checks this year until the amount of $120,000 was taken out for bad conduct or Acts that Al ddidn't approve of. WTF? Lol, Who would want to work for this nut case?

So they fined him for the punching incident?

Hell, he got a bonus for that.

The HC is getting fined for conduct detrimental to the team. LOL



PhilFree:arrow:

With the talk of us looking for a oc with a passing game background that would be acceptant of the hc calling plays, I can't understand why Al Saunders name hasn't come up.

I would love to have him back and having us shift presnap about every play like the good old days...I think that could be very advantageous to us with our personal and the way the defenses handle the shifts could help Cassel with his presnap reads tremendously.

I really don't want to see that from Oakland.

Because Saunders runs a different system.

You really think Al Saunders would want to work for a HC that looks over his shoulder as much as Haley would?

Not to mention the fact that Saunders and Haley offensive philosophies don't match?

saunders' system won't work if the crazy owner makes him draft sprinters and throw long every play.

I guess I was just thinking that this group of players would do well in the coryell system is all.

That would require ripping out the old offense and installing a new one. No way do I want Cassel going through that again.

I just wonder why he can't keep a job if he's so awesome.

That would make sense why Jackson would hire Saunders. Saunders was a consultant for the Ravens when Jackson was in Baltimore in 2009.

I don't believe saunders let his QB's call audibles. Which was a negative.

Haley is still young and wants it his way and rode Weis out of town. Haley knows Saunders would be Weis all over again. Haley wants credit thus he still has to have his hand in the "offensive cookie jar" to take credit. If he brings in Saunders he can't do this. If he hires this Siranni dude he takes all the credit and maintains control.

Babb's article said that Vermeil admitted "immaturity" when he 'had' to call all the plays in Philly and would not concede any control offensively to anyone.

Bottom line: Haley is talented but still immature/insecure(ala drove Weis off to the point of Weis f'ing Haley's playoffs with the timing of announcement)

Lesson still to be learned by Haley is this: Respect your elders 'who have won 3 SBs and sit back and still learn so that you "CAN" be that complete HC you want to be as opposed to letting the "Josh McDaniel" side of you dominate!

How ironic uh:shrug:

Al Davis better watch out, he will run out of idiots wanting to be the Raiders Coach pretty soon
