This might be one of those situations where Mork is picking his brain. Then again, that might be giving Mork too much credit.
Davis is such a wildcard man, no telling what this guy is going to do. He’s gotta know hiring AP and Champ keeps stability which this organization badly needs. But I just know he’s licking his chops over guys like Harbaugh, Belichick and Vrabel (especially with Brady in his ear), he loves the big names.Im already sick of all the Raiders fans infighting about who the HC should be , no matter who it is somebody is going to piss all over the decision. Its exhausting , everyone should just think the same way i do and say ...''AP is the best guy for the Raiders''
Not surprising. Look at old man Flacco!
Or at least a link from old to new. Catching up now.
Her brain
I am not sure Brady would be a supporter of Belicheat. It would be hard to swing back to try to make the Raiders Patriots West again with him after the disaster of McD. I don't see Belicheat being a real candidate. My guess is the Pats hire Vrabel. Belicheat will go to Atlanta.Davis is such a wildcard man, no telling what this guy is going to do.

I think there is going to be more upheaval than usual with guys that have been entrenched like Belicheat and Carroll out. I am not sure there is a clear favorite for us to hire OC. Harbaugh would basically be bringing most of his own guys. I feel like AP would pitch Davis on some exciting young gun to try to scratch his wanting to make a big splash with coaching itch.
Maybe. AP seems smart enough to know what he doesn’t know. I think he would bring in a proven commodity, rather than some unknown from the college ranks or wherever. If anyone else is hired, I expect a full turnover. Including PG
Don’t you think Davis blocking a team from interviewing PG for a DC position a positive sign he’s staying with the Raiders?
Not if a harbaugh type comes in. That sort of coach will clean house
Agreed… But maybe it’s a sign that Davis is leaning toward AP. If he’s all in on Harbaugh wouldn’t he let PG interview anywhere? Knowing Harbaugh is going to clean house anyway. I realize I might be reading between the lines too much but it would make sense if AP stays so does PG and Champ for that matter.
AP will keep Graham. Outside of that... who knows. Harbaugh for sure will bring in pretty much a whole new staff.
It could be a sign that Davis keeping AP. But even if he was all in on Harbaugh there is no guarantee Harbaugh is all in on the Raiders. It could just be a hedge in case Harbaugh decides to go somewhere else.
This is definitely not a bad idea…
He did prove himself in Washington. Took what the not much they didn't have and made it a decent offense. Meanwhile, KC offense has struggled without him. Not that there is a direct line there and the lack of decent receiver's is definitely a bigger reason for KC struggling, I think it is harder now to give Reid all the credit for when Bieniemy was the OC there.
Even though I would absolutely hate it.... I can see the lure of Belicheat. Because of that, I think it overshadows the dynamics of going back to an attempt at the "Patriot Way". Though Vrabel isn't on the Belicheat failed coaching tree (he only played for him and never coaches with him) it is a big risk to go from a failed attempt at making the Raiders Patriots West and then hiring Vrabel to basically do it again.
I don’t know I haven’t heard anything good about His attitude. Yeah he was on the Chiefs staff but it was Annie Reed for all intents and purposes. Washington’s office didn’t exactly like the world on fire.
bill would be a HARD pill to swallow.
I can't think of something I would hate more than that.
I typed and erased that I’d rather have lane kiffin or Gruden back before bill. But I’m not sure that’s true. It’s close though.
Yep. Dude is pissed that he’s been passed over for so many years. pass
The whole point of him leaving KC to begin with was to prove himself essentially to get a HC job. If we keep AP and which means we should almost assuredly keep Graham, Graham will be a top candidate for HC assuming he doesn't get one this year.
Geebus.... you found one I would hate more. I am not sure there is a coach on this world I dislike more than Kiffin.
He`s already on record saying he wanted to create a new position in the front office , someone with a keen football mind
Well, that's like your opinion man.
Kiffin and Gruden. Can. Not. Stand. eitnm……no. :THUD:
Hiring harbaugh goes against what mark has said he wants. There is no need for a GM at that point. Might as well hire alzado’s cousin. And the senior advisor position becomes useless as well. Who is harbaugh going to listen to?
I want AP as HC. He proved he can lead a bunch of alpha males and that takes a special person. I 100% don’t want Belicheck and don’t want Harbaugh even though he is a good coach. He rubs me the wrong way and will probably run himself out of town within 3 years. Davis needs to hire a GM that has a plan for building a team with Pierces vision.
If they go Harbaugh, I might need to vacay from Raider Nation till August.
JH is kind of a nerd , i cant see Peirce's locker room guys following a guy like that after AP`s aura has been so embraced . It kind of reminds me of the movie Rudy , when the coach the team loved left and the new guy came in and didnt care less about what the team thought . AP is one of the guys , but soooo respected and its mutual .
