A good choice for OC

If he was good with the Red Raiders he might be good with the Raiders..

Keep Cable just get an OC

  he has also been the Quarterbacks, and WR’s coach. In 2007, his offence produced big numbers for Qb Graham Harrell. He led the country in total offense (431.85 ypg), while Michael Crabtree led the NCAA in receptions per game (10.31) and receiving yards per game (150.92) on his way to winning the 2007 Biletnikoff Award
It would be real nice to have an OC with a consistant system that aids player development.

I’m not saying he wouldn’t be a good offensive coordinator, but the personnel he had with Texas Tech and Houston is much different. Over at Texas Tech and Houston, all they do is run the spread offense and throw the ball about 65 times a game.

But , I think from a philosophy standpoint getting rid of the football quickly, opens up the box. Teams like Pittsberg are incorperating the spread offence into there playbook to keep Big Ben Upright.

They plan together. Whichever is on the field QBing the other is OC. Al saves money and gets integrated intelligent offensive play selections from two guys who know the Raider Offense, the players, and how best to use them. Who better than a QB to call the plays? I respect linement but they are soldiers compared to the QB who is field general. Enough! Tom’s role must be curtailed and Grad, whose input was obvious in Denver, must guide the offense. If Frye’s brain is bruised then Losman should be tested immediately after JMR is given the 1st quarter to succeed or fail.

he knows how to run and effective offense with new england and notre dame
if anything happens in the off season, i want that guy at OC

OC. yea that is working right now with cable calling shots! yes he was also puting up good offensive numbers in college while an oc. does anybody not understand we have a very capable OC on our sideline? he also happens to be our QB coach. yes paul hackett is his name. look at what he has done at THE PROFESSIONAL LEVEL as assistant head coach and OC under shottenheimer in KC, 5 playoff births in his 6 years and positive offensive stats while coordinating the jets under Herm. and making the playoffs with them. he has 2 SB rings, and is one of the best offensive and QB minds in this league, hence the play of grad after his first 3 nfl years, has something to do with hackett just like gannon gave tressman credit for his success, so does grad of hackett. i like what this team has going, and if cable would surrender to hackett the duties of calling plays, i think we would be in the better off!

I agree with rodeo, it should be Hackett or at least someone with a proven NFL track record. Playcalling is also an art form that some people have a natural feel for. Madden had the snake, and he was one of the best ever based on his won loss record with the raiders. Hackett has had success as an OC in several stops and has been around the block. Cable has the team playing hard and competeing, but his playcalling leaves something to be desired. Bush needs more touches and so does McFadden. Commit to the run game and establish the teams identity! All of the smashmouth teams say it’s an attitude more than anything else. Make it a battle of who can punch who in the mouth and start playing with an attitude again. With our uncertainty at QB we need to rely on the run game even more. Were .500 since the bye week, so the team is improving, just dedicate the offense to the one area where it has shown flashes of success. In spot duty(103 carries, 519 yds) Bush is the teams leading rusher. That says it all, give him the damn ball!

as for the play calling, I totally agree. Cable lacks imagination. But, with Grad or Frye under center the get extra time because they move around and buy it.

romeo crennel is a great defensive coach and Charley Weiss is a brilliant offensive coach.

They’re very creative, and great coaches(The raiders have a run first team, which is weiss’s specialty).
