Sperm Edwards Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Al Davis finally finds a coach who wants to be there and who has brought some amount of success despite the team being saddled with awful drafting, awful draft-day trades, lousy free agent acquisitions, awful overspending on veterans, and lousy QB's. Cable is a complete scumbag animal and actually made the Raiders almost likeable because he was such a good fit for that filthy organization. What competent HC is realistically going to take that job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What competent HC is realistically going to take that job? Probably unlikely since Parcells is an East Coast guy but know he's friends with Al Davis...maybe Al would allow Parcells to aussme the consigliere role with a possible ownership stake down the line.

jason423 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 So strange. I know the guy is scum, but he has the Raiders playing far better football than I ever thought they could do. I do know that the rumor is that Al Davis has finally jumped the shark so far that he has finally given up power within the organization. Some have likened it to the last year or two of George Steinbrenner when he was no longer really running the team behind the scenes but most thought he still was. Maybe those in charge simply realized that they have to move forward from the old way of doing things which Cable would fit in as. The problem is they need a big name coach to just turn around the perception of the franchise. I dont know who would be willing to do it. Maybe a guy like Brian Billick who doesnt seem to be able to get a job elsewhere and definitely wants back into coaching, especially if you listened to him at the end of his broadcast today.

SenorGato Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 HE JUST TOOK ONE OF THE sh*tTIEST ROSTERS IN OAKLAND HISTORY TO 8-8 ahahahahahaha wow! Well they've got 3 guys who're elite players at their positions with Gallery (LG), Seymour, and Aso so I doubt it's as bad as the previous 7 years.

SenorGato Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Mcfadden is not elite? Elite is a strong word. To me the elite guys are Peterson, Johnson, Jackson, and Gore. Gore could come off as Jones Drew and Charles give it a go. He's been too good for me to kick off because of that injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I will never understand the Raiders even a little bit. It's like they want to go out of their way to make sure they don't succeed. Most people roundly mocked the Cable hiring and as it turned it, the Raiders made a pretty decent choice. They have a pretty terrible personnel grouping there, and had nothing expected out of them. Yet as it turns out, they put a pretty decent team out on the field. So now they're firing him because who the hell knows why. Nobody's going to want that job, and with that team, there's a very good chance they'll only do worse than Cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4HCrew Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Getting rid of Cable just does not make sense but this is why they are the Raiders. I can see a guy like Brian Billick or Jim Fassell taking that job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll probably choose someone who is a newbie who won't challenge Davis' authority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
