Didn’t see yours! But you have some nuggets on the Russell bit.

I’m torn as to whether I want a coaching change again, and also on if I even like Ryan as coach.

I’m just torn. Such is being a Raider fan…

What’s his QB or offense credentials? He’s a defense coach, that’s what he knows. And it sounds like if he got the job we’d be stuck with Russell again….so I say no to bringing him in.

Rob Ryan wants to get the word out, like, Look what My brother did with Mark Sanchez. That guy threw 12 TD’s and 20 INT’s. The Raiders have the kind of running game that could produce a championship caliber quality.
Rob Ryan obviously believes that he can coach the defense as well as his brother. He thinks with the running game he will be able to manage the clock and limit JRuss’ throwing.
This is the kind of philosophy I expected from Tom Cable this season, but i think he was looking to cater to Al davis’ pass first philosophy, which could cost him his job ultimately.
I think Rob Ryan would be a good hire for the Raiders. I thought they were going to hire him when he interviewed a few years back, and i was disappointed when they did not do so.

the defensive scheme will go back to no blitzing and no mixing in of zones, Russell will start from game 1 to game 16, and we’ll be worse than we’ve ever been.

What’s sad is that this will probably happen too. And right when we were getting the pieces together, especially on defense, to be successful.

David Shaw.

Then try to grab LSU’s quarterback coach.

the idea of Rob Ryan as the head coach.The Raiders can do better than this guy.

Cable survived the Thursday meeting and Willie Brown quit in disgust. Deal with it gentlemen.

adds nothing factual. Davis may even be influenced by the media’s “reasoned opinions” to thwart them since there’s no love between the mainstream press and Al. But, Al has already decided to keep Tom for another year so the media is wasting our time printing empty words for mass consumption. Our own speculations and assessments are closer to the truth, e.g. mine.

lost all credibility – if s/he even exists at all. The Mercury News will start a story based on this fictitious or real anonymous source and the other rags pick it up and run with it till the media speaks in one monolithic voice of sheer propaganda. For all we know, Al knows he’s a rat in the organization and is purposefully leaking his stuff that is false to mess with the media and undermine the credibility of the inside source -Parmesan-cheese eating mole.

i think the players would line up faster to get rob back. how many called him and met up with him before the cleve. game and in their interviews they said how much they loved this guy. you guys think cable has passion, please, it took little fassell to get in a refs face on a b.s. call while cable stayed put. if that was rob, as we seen when he was just a DC, this guy would get “chucky” mad to the point of fist fighting, and get in his players face. in 06 we had the 3rd best D in the nfl. our run game has suffered because we havent had a stud NT since Teddy W and our MLB issues, which reflected on Robs over all D. this guy will be a better HC than a DC, with a good OC and DC along with him. i say try him, keep marshall through his second year, hire a quality OC and do the right offseason signings, vince w( to get with seymour again) and mcclain in the first and our D is in place. Rob Ryan is a close as we got to chucky and Rob Ryan has 2 SB rings! his lineage is far greater than Cable!

“…Gilbride’s most memorable image may be a 1994 sideline incident while he was offensive coordinator for the Houston Oilers, which resulted in defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan throwing a punch at Gilbride during a nationally televised game.”

makes no sense. Which is why Al Davis may consider it.

wise ol al might like the new RAIDER RYAN slogan! it wouldnt surprise me one little bit, one way or the other.
