How do you know Brady had any sway in this matter? Did Johnson say Brady swayed him? It is possible that Johnson is interviewing to get experience of interviewing for an HC position. I am seeing reports that Johnson is also scheduled to interview for the Pats HC position, which is much more appealing due to Maye's presence.
Ya, ya, ya but the reality is that the defense did perform well the year before and we added an important piece in Wilkins only to lose him mid season. We lost our arguably third best defender before the season and starter after starter until we lost our star player. We all knew we didn't have a ton of depth to start with. It is perfectly logical and reasonable to expect that same defense... if healthy.... to be a top defense.
I get it. You've only just moved into Phase One of Del Boca Raiders Off-season.
Not sure what offended you here, it's just a discussion. I didn't say we had a shot at Johnson, only that he's going to get a ton of opportunities. I just saw that he agreed to interview with us and I'm actually kind of surprised, I don't think we have a chance of landing him.
Nobody likes you.

Jesus Christ what are we doing? This is tiresome.
Absolute stunner IMO. As much as I wanted to see Pierce go I wanted to see Telesco stay. He had some poor drafts with the Chargers but his first with the Raiders was top notch and he deserved another year for sure based on it.
I'll add I guess the failure on Telesco's part to add a quality QB (and to compound the problem by adding a crappy one) played a large role in his demise. I guess Brady and/or Davis definitely saw the glass as half empty with him.
Hey give Mark credit, he did in on Thursday. He would NEVER leave a guy hanging that long.
Similar to what will happen to whoever hires Rex Ryan as a coach this year, he wasn't a great hire. So, there is that.
Great question. After some soul-searching, I find that what offends me is any optimism surrounding the Raiders as long as Mork owns the team. This clown is as bad as Daniel Snyder and Woody Johnson. In 13 years under Mork's "leadership" the team has never won a division title or a playoff game (even Woody Johnson has won a playoff game). Mork didn't earn his place as an NFL owner, he inherited it. While he has been around football his entire life, he does not know how to run a team. I honestly do not understand how anyone could argue otherwise. Mork, is the decision maker doing the hiring.
You are not alone. I barely watched the NFL this season and didn’t even check on Raider scores until Monday’s most weeks. The team is broken. Really broken. It is among the 4-5 bottom feeders in the league and that isn’t changing anytime soon with such poor leadership and decisions. The Raiders haven’t found a quality HC, GM, or QB in decades and they don’t have the intelligence to make any of it happen.
Optimism is all we have brother, without that we're left with the stark realization of what this franchise has become. Don't stop posting based on that, we all get through it in here.
Maybe, but I doubt it. He didn;t even hire AP.
Reports suggest that the Raiders are going hard about Ben Johnson and firing Telesco was part of that as Johnson has said he wanted his own GM with him.
Almost? Just wait until we are in the same room buddy
It's cruel to get my hopes up.
Is Brady really "putting in the hard work?" He is working as an tv commentator. How much time is he devoting to that as opposed to time devoted to the the team? This feels like another
waiting to happen.
IDK but the broadcast job cuts both ways. Even if he isn't allowed in production meetings he still has plenty of access to the inner workings of other teams. He is scheduled to work the Lions games for as long as they are in it. You think he won't have opportunity to speak privately with Glenn and Johnson? That's a lot more direct contact than any other team will have.Is Brady really "putting in the hard work?" He is working as an tv commentator.

No Nevada tax benefit for morky mork?
1. The metaphor "camel's nose" describes how a small action can lead to larger, negative consequences.
For example, if you allow a camel to put its nose under a tent, it might eventually put its whole body under the tent.
2. Massive estate tax bill coming due when Mark's mother eventually passes away.
3. Chaka gives everything a thumbs up that has to do with Morky Mork and the Flunky Bunch.
This explains A WHOLE LOTIn my defense I take gummies every night about an hour before bed so, it made sense at the time.
You mean Mc****, right?
That's state income tax you're thinking about, Nevada has no state income tax. There's a federal Estate Tax that only applies to very large estate transfers - the first $14M or so is exempted as of the 2025 tax schedule. It's a flat 40% tax rate and the most recent valuation of LVR is about $6.7B (and massively growing) - so upwards of $3B tax bill would come due when Mork's mother dies (possibly more depending on how long she lives). It's been speculated on ad nauseum, most recently by Florio, that this might force him to sell, but we all know the rich don't actually pay taxes so who knows exactly how it will go down.No Nevada tax benefit for morky mork?
I have never heard that Camel’s Nose metaphor before right now. Learn something new every day…even in a Raiders thread
