Tough decision but necessary

I do not think those two could have made it work. Lots of changes coming and this move does not surprise me. Though I hope RM brings in an established Coach and not a noob.

Deinitely the right move

The team regressed, Hubris lost the locker room, he was arrogant with the franchise and tried to take over after Al passed he also had no idea about defense.

I'm for it.

He coached us out of at least 3 games last year. He shouldn’t be a coach if he can’t get his players to get up for the game they dropped against SD. I’m over him, and I’m ready to move on under McKenzie.

I voted I don't THINK so

But I’m not a football GM so what do I know. I’m hoping for the best, despite being sorry to see Jackson go. Time will tell if it was the right choice or not.

I'm all for a change

The Raiders are headed in the right direction, I feel this move is what was needed. Hue did his best unfortunately it wasn’t enough he just isn’t head coach material. I just hope our next one is better

Who is running the show in oakland?

Dumb and dumber. That’s what I saw. One guy couldn’t formulate a coherent sentence and the other guy is just a liar. As a 40+ year die-hard Raiders’ fan, this is a dark day. Hue Jackson deserved another year. You don’t throw away two years of progress with the offense because you don’t like a guy challenging players. Mark Davis is a coward who should have fired Jackson himself, but instead got a lackey to do it. Now, the raiders are being steered by Dumb and Dumber.

thats a little hard on RM

i think RM will do a good job and complete the turn around for the team.

the only real thing against him i see is that Matt Millen recommends him. millen never seemed to be able to evaluate talent for the lions so his praise scares me. he had years of complete and utter failure in detroit (the worst performance in modern vfl history) and now that he’s gone, two complete years after his dismissal they had a playoff bound team.
