Pete Carroll? He's the same age as Mark Davis' dad.

Las Vegas can make an old man feel younger.

ROFL That's ****ing hilarious. I need to steal that.

Oh please god yes.

Vegas can also make a young man feel real real old...

Especially because it would be spelled wrong. :evil:

Well that was just obviously part of the joke. Of course. I mean duh.

Who would misspell a word when calling someone a moran?

pelissero saying that brady’s trying to lure BB

LMAO

apparently multiple teams have reached out

Antonio Pierce was put in the absolute worst possible situation. He was coaching a team that had absolutely no talent and should have been given 2-3 years to try and improve the team.

These shit franchises will never learn.

That would be the most Belichick thing ever

meh, whats the upside with pierce? he very much has interim coach vibes. just rip off the bandaid and get one of the good candidates available in this cycle

Of course. Too bad Tom Brady isn't suiting up at QB, though.

I keep seeing this, but it doesn't mean it's the wrong call.

We'd have been way better off firing Squirmin Herman Mother****ing Sack of **** Edwards after the ****fest he put together than allowing that asstard engineer a "rebuild", which was catastrophic and caused us to be uber desperate and hire Pioli.

Fact of the matter is the shit franchise that never learns part came from hiring him in the first place.

imagine we kept crennel because he was dealt a shitty hand with the Belcher situation and the QB? then andy reid goes somewhere else

then again, lets not

imo this is the right move for the raiders

If a guy was worth hiring in the first place, then you should give him a chance. But it is clear they admit a mistake was made in hiring him. It will be interesting on who they end up with.

Exactly.

Pierce was promoted from linebackers coach when McDaniels was fired. He wasn't even a coordinator.

Prior to that, he was the defensive coordinator with Arizona State in 2021. In fairness to him, ASU was second in total yards and points allowed in the Pac 12, but it's college and not enough of a sample size to say he's a difference maker.

I do think a head coach ideally should bring one side of the ball. That side of the ball needs to be consistent and reliable.

DO IT

The Raiders are requesting an interview with Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo for their head-coaching spot, per sources.

Holy shit, that truly is the darkest timeline.

Right.

Nobody would've succeeded in any meaningful fashion with the situation Pierce was dropped into.

But Pierce would not have succeeded in any meaningful fashion regardless of the situation he found himself in.

He was in a bad spot. But he's a bad coach.

Both things can be true.

https://x.com/DMRussini/status/1877073953421734259 Bill Belichick has no plans to return to the NFL, per sources.
I’m told his sole focus is on coaching and recruiting for North Carolina, as he continues building the Tar Heels’ future. He’s recruiting today in New Jersey.

Nobody expected AP to take the Raiders to the playoffs but most of last years roster actually regressed. Aiden got worse, Minshew got worse, the oline got worse…….defense was on IR (not his fault)

Anybody who watched a game this year could see that AP was so out of his league it was a failure all around

Our old rival trying to cause distractions for us as we head into the playoffs.

Yeah about what I expected. He's basically the king of a small country at this point. He and his son are set at UNC. He'd be a fool to come back to the NFL.

They also traded Adams, which didn't help the QB any.

They at least got Brock Bowers out of this season, who is already awesome.

But yeah, their future always looks bleak with that ownership and not having a real home field advantage. Since I've been a football fan, the only time the Raiders didn't suck were those four seasons between 1999-2003 after Carl and Marty gifted them Rich Gannon.

To a team that doesn't have a QB and isn't in a great spot to actually get one.

No, I think Belichick is a real 'legacy' guy and I don't think he can do anything but hurt himself on that front by going to LV.

Now if for some reason the Cowboys decided to go after him, that could be interesting. Because they have Parsons, Lamb and a guy in Prescott that is...fine. He also has the sort of skill set that I think BB can work with.

And maybe that's why Jones is keeping McCarthy. Let BB get a year in at NC so he doesn't completely piss on a contract where the ink is still wet. Then in 2026 he comes back to Dallas to make a run at the all time wins record?

But no, I can't see a way he comes back to the NFL to coach Oakland and potentially reinforce the whispers that the guy is nothing without Brady and the game has passed him by. There's no upside to it to speak of.

I still do it too. Some times intetionally!

Dammit!

I got it right in that very post. Then fumbled it at the goalline.

Hack...

It's the Chargers I have the most trouble with; I am accustomed to the faid moving around some - in fact I will some times call them the the LV Vagabonds - but to me the Chargers will always be in San Diego.

The Chargers are easy to me because of my life as a Lakers fan.

LAL and LAC has always been easy shorthand for me to remember.

So with the Chargers, LAC just rolls right off the ol' keyboard.

Raiders have now fired their GM Tom Telesco.

I thought they were going to keep him as his draft was good last year. Seems the Raiders are just all over the place.

Hopefully Mark Davis hires a GM and lets him do the rest.

Rumor for the Pink Slip thread is Ben Johnson wants some personnel control so they shitcanned Telesco.

If that's true, I'm going to go ahead and call my shot. Ben Johnson will be a mediocre head coach.

I think Tom Brady has taken over as unofficial GM and has Marks ear.

Tom is very tight with John Spytek at Tampa.

Things are getting interesting.

Not saying good, just interesting.

It’s wild to fire a GM less than a year after hiring them, especially one that didn’t make any real objectionable roster moves(even if he did end up being shit the precedent is still give them a couple years). This is either really smart, or really stupid. I don’t yet fully trust Brady and his influence, but I sure am intrigued by aggressiveness. We shall see.

It seems better then having a lame duck coach searching for an OC.

Tom Brady can F off! I don't even wanna see his face and now he's running the Raiders? NFL owners should have blocked this. Raiders always had to hire nobody coaches and GMs because no one wants to work for that loser franchise. We don't need Brady in there. Roger needs to step in.

****ing guy, Tom Brady!

New rumors that Brady wants Brice Arians.

The list of candidates that they are interviewing for the Raiders is better than anything I’ve seen in 20 years. For the first time in a long while they are doing due diligence and getting the early jump. New territory for Raider fans lol

Brady is an owner.

Him and Bruce couldn’t coexist in TB. Brady forced him out.

Brady debunked that a couple of years ago.

Not to mention Bruce is 72 years old... Seems illogical at best... but the Raiders are often illogical.

Really? I thought tension with Brady was a big reason why he stopped coaching in Tampa.

That was the rumor but about a year after all that went down, Brady said it was all overblown and he had no issues with Arians.

I don't think he's a leading candidate by any means, he's too old.

They're interviewing Pete Carroll too.

Requested to Interview
Detroit OC Ben Johnson - Interview 1/10
Detroit DC Aaron Glenn - Interview 1/10
Baltimore OC Todd Monken
Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo - Interview 1/10
Former Jets HC Robert Saleh - Interview 1/16
Former Seahawks HC Pete Carroll

The Coach quality in the AFC West is going to be LOADED, best division in football

I didn't want Brady.

But Mark is a jock lover.

My boss who’s a Raiders fan, swears Mark is gay.

Other AFCW teams fans being scared of Brady having a hand in running the Raiders(to the point of wanting Roger to step in lol) tells me it’s the right move for the team. Simple fact is the Raiders have spent the last 25 years being losers, while at the same time Tommy was a winner, have no choice but to trust him.

https://x.com/tashanreed/status/1877838556770578751

The #Raiders hired Jed Hughes of search firm Korn Ferry to help compile GM and HC candidates. Hughes helped the placements of the following HCs:

- Pete Carroll with the Seahawks
- Andy Reid with the Chiefs
- Jim Harbaugh at Michigan
- Bruce Arians with the Bucs

Not bad.

Has he placed 100 coaches and those are the highlights or is he like 4/4? Thanks for Andy btw Jed.

This might be a dumb question, but what's the point of hiring somebody like this in the NFL?

It's a sports league. The field is incredibly interwoven. Some might even say inbred. You've got coaching trees if you want to just hire what you know, and if you're looking to make a big splash, it's pretty damn easy to find out who the big up-and-coming names are who will suck all kinds of owner dick to get treated like complete garbage by your trash ass franchise.

Everybody is interviewing/hiring the same candidates. Even if you're completely clueless about what's out there, it's pretty easy to just look up what other teams are doing and then give the exact same people a call.

Yeah I don’t get it.

It’s not like you have a guy going to the ends of the earth to find some unknown prodigy. It’s the NFL. Everyone knows everyone else.

Brady being a part owner and being involved in the coaching search is fine.

He should be forced to give up his broadcasting gig though.

Having an owner announce games on national TV???

:shake:

Scared of Brady? LMAO LMAO

Brady running the Raiders isn't happening. If he did it would matter not. He doesn't know shit about running a football team.

Very possible but have you ever looked at Mark Davis?

If a doorknob had a heartbeat it would likely do a better job than Davis.

This will probably end up like the Elway-Donks era. Run it in the ground , Oh wait, Raiders are in the ground.

I could believe it.

Only way to go is up.

Raiders have a different approach this year versus what Mark has done in the past just chasing that one big name.

Elway brought in a QB that dominated for a bit so lets not act like Elway's tenure was all failure.
