No. Tomlin hasn’t lead the Steelers to anything but wins over bad teams to start seasons in years. LV needs a fresh start.10000%If the Steelers fire Tomlin…
As an owner, Brady cannotIDK 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. How much time is he devoting to that as opposed to time devoted to the the team? This feels like anotherThe only thing that gives me hope about Brady is that how he evolved from an end of draft pick to a successful QB to an old successful QB. Hope he is still putting in the hard work of years previous and we get a Ozzie Newsome type rather than an elwaywaiting to happen.
In what universe will Pittsburgh fire Tomlin when he's never had a losing season in his entire tenure, just got double digit wins in a season they were supposedly going to struggle mightily in, and also took the Steelers to the playoffs.....again?If the Steelers fire Tomlin…

You're probably correct.

Tomlin will leave when he wants to. No sooner.

Can you imagine how different this season would have gone if the Raiders had pulled the trigger and acquired Washington’s pick?
Daniels paired with Adam’s and Meyers would have been fun.
Didn’t Washington say no way anyway?Can you imagine how different this season would have gone if the Raiders had pulled the trigger and acquired Washington’s pick?

Then they need to get the right coach and turn Zach Wilson into Jayden Daniels.This Raiders coaching staff would have turned Jayden Daniels into Zach Wilson.
Tomlin has not shown in the last decade that he is a good but not great coach. He would be the best coach LV has had in a very long time but I want more than just a winning record in the regular season. Tomlin hasn’t shown the ability to innovate or game plan. The Steelers go into every game with the same plan and it looked like the Steelers players knew Saturday night that they had no chance with that game plan and just wanted to get the loss over with. Pickens remark after the game was very telling. Some of you fans seem happy just to win a few more games and not be a perpetual bottom feeder. There isn’t anything wrong with that but I want more.If the goal is to squeak into the playoffs and lose immediately, Tomlin is your guy.

Are you saying you can identify which available coaches will win future Super Bowls (if any)? If so, by all means, the Raiders should hire one of them instead of someone else.![]()

I believe they have already interviewed Ben Johnson.Who is lined up for interviews so far. Heard Pete Carol so far.
No thank youMike McCarthy, anyone?
As OC, sure.Mike McCarthy, anyone?
Not sure why McCarthy gets such a bad rap. Dude knows how to develop a QB and he has a career 61% winning percentage. He's an immediate and massive upgrade over any coach the Raiders have had since Gruden 1.0
I think he's got a ton of support, I think the prevailing thought is (was?) that we had no shot to land him since he's such a hot name - why would he come to a clown show like we are firing guy after guy after guy before their 2nd season is complete? Call it a defense mechanism, we're just keeping quiet so when we get our hearts stomped out again we'll be somewhat shielded.I dont see a lot of support for Ben Johnson in this thread , did i miss something? He seems like an amazing young football mind . I like the idea that he would get to hire the GM he wants ,if hired .
This and more. If every one of the best coaches in the nfl came to the raiders they’re still a .500 team. The qb room is a joke. Run game is awful. Can scheme fix it, or is it a personnel issue? Oline same. Receivers are half way decent. The D was ravaged by injury, so it’s hard to tell how good/bad they actually are. Depth is key. There’s a ton of salary space, so we’ll see. Sure would be nice to have some stability and a product that was watchable.I think he's got a ton of support, I think the prevailing thought is (was?) that we had no shot to land him since he's such a hot name - why would he come to a clown show like we are firing guy after guy after guy before their 2nd season is complete?

But if we can shock the world and land the hottest name out there I think you'll see a ton of celebrating going on. I'll believe it when I see it, but at least there seems to be an inkling that it could happen.
I might be the only one here who thinks Ben Johnson will be the next coach of the Raiders. Tom Brady got more involved and was probably the driving force behind the GM being fired. They will almost certainly let Johnson have a lot of say in who the new GM will be. When talking about his approach, Brady used the word "collaborative" which ironically is how the Lions built their front office. If Brady is more involved, then Mark Davis will be less inclined to do dumb ****.I think he's got a ton of support, I think the prevailing thought is (was?) that we had no shot to land him since he's such a hot name - why would he come to a clown show like we are firing guy after guy after guy before their 2nd season is complete?

Gruden would have had a long leash. I think Mark is pretty hands off, but he listens to the wrong people, like when Reggie McKenzie was hired because he was listening to John Madden at the time.I might be the only one here who thinks Ben Johnson will be the next coach of the Raiders.

I think a long leash and a lot of dollars gets it done.
We would get them in 2025 and 2026. Player comp picks take a year, JC-2A do not.two 3rd round picks over 2026-27 draft. Huge, obviously.
The only candidate that makes sense is Brian Flores. I mean, look at what he did in Miami. And he could do the same thing in Vegas. I'll even go on the record and say that Brian Flores will be the next Raiders coach.

Tua was also very critical of Flores, saying something like the difference between Flores leadership and McDaniel is night and day (degrading vs supportive)The only candidate that makes sense is Brian Flores.

You should check out the critical comments Ryan Fitzpatrick made about Flores recently. If you take them at face value, they are quite negative about Flores losing the team in Miami. I don't know if taking them at face value is appropriate, but I'm sure whatever happened is known around the league, so that could hurt his chances at another HC job, at least until more time passes.
I don't think [Graham's] a serious candidate this cycle is he?
Ok, so not serious.Jags
Ok, so not serious.Jags
Yes, I know this is rich coming from a Raiders homer, but it had to be done.
I read today that the Bengals DC job is down to Graham and Al Golden from Notre Dame which would lead me to believe Graham's contract has expired.Ok, so not serious.Jags

Or the opposite logic could have a not-so-serious team hitch themselves to a not-so-serious candidate! Of course, though, as you stated... Watch it happen and then the Raiders not get squat b/c the contract already ended, lol.
Seriously, though. I do like Graham and hope someone gives him a fair shake at an HC job. And if so, that his contract is still intact until the end of the league year!
I think even if it's not LVR would allow him to interview if he asked. Davis may be a dork but he's not a megalomaniac like JerruhI read today that the Bengals DC job is down to Graham and Al Golden from Notre Dame which would lead me to believe Graham's contract has expired.
Yeah, lots of people now reporting this one.NEWS: NFL insider Ian Rapoport just said that current Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is “Heading in the direction of being the Raiders next head coach.”
This. I’ll believe it when I see it but this seems too good to be true that the top head coaching candidate (imho) would chose this sorry franchise. If this happens, the Brady mojo and involvement is a REAL thing and an asset to this team. (I hope)Yeah, lots of people now reporting this one.NEWS: NFL insider Ian Rapoport just said that current Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is “Heading in the direction of being the Raiders next head coach.”
Honestly, I find it hard to believe, mostly because we don't get to have nice things.
