Bravejamriot Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I guess they could still snag him as an assistant head coach, but hopefully he doesn't want to go to oakland... serious who would? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyHector Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I always thought it was a dick move to block a position coach from a shot at a promotion with another organization, but since it's the Raiders were talking about, I don't see a problem with this at all.

Stonehands Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 It probably didn't hurt the decision process that Rob Ryan was already let go by Al Davis after doing nothing wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I'm pretty sure they blocked it as a courtesy to DT so he didn't have to say no to an owner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A coach turning down an interview request is bad form, so Thurman probably asked the Jets to deny the request so he wouldn't be cast in a negative light.

You have to imagine it is something like that. Rex just seems like the last guy in the world who would ever stop one of his guys from having the opportunity to get a promotion. Either Thurman isn't interested in making the jump yet or it's just a Raiders thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 They wouldn't let the Jets talk to Rob Ryan for years. F*ck 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 They wouldn't let the Jets talk to Rob Ryan for years. F*ck 'em. True, but I think that was a lateral move, not a promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
