Whitlock sets the record straight on Hubris F Jackson

It was that he published an unprovoked personal attack on a man based on his relationship with his recently deceased father which I find despicable and the fact that it seems that Hubris was behind it says all that needs to be known about who Hubris really is.

It is one thing to question whether Mark is qualified and attack the act of firing Hubris it is an entirely another to attack him and his family personally.

yes I did enjoy that breakdown of the trade :), but it’s not an indictment on Carson or his ability it is a indictment on Hubris and the manner in which he took advantage of the situation and strong armed the deal for his advantage of his own interests not on the interests of the franchise.

Hubris desperately wanted to be the man to take the Raiders back to the playoffs not for the Raiders but for Hubris and his resume and he was willing to do whatever it took even if it meant doing something clearly not in the long term best interests of the franchise. He toom advantage of a grieving Mark Davis and Amy Trask to force his own agenda and I think you could tell in the Press conference that Mark does harbour some resentment towards Hubris for what he did after Al passed.

I can’t see Al ever making that deal at those stakes…

We have anew sheriff in town ushering in a new era and I think he’s the right man for the job and I think he’ll bring in a great HC for us for years to come.

You think Jackson wanted to fire them…those Defense douches? Well, why didnt he fucking fire them? Take charge….have some real balls, instead of running your soup coolers and talking shit.
The DC should have been fired after Miami. Period. And since he didnt…oh well.

Don’t get mad just because your boy ended up being a fraud it’s not your fault, you weren’t to know.

I did suggest we let this go already, but the man clearly has things he needs to say, so let’s just try and get it all out once and for all, hmm?

dumb chargers bitch lol the best part was I scored a few new followers from it XD

We’re going to replace a coach who knows the team and got us within a hair of making the playoffs with another rookie coach who doesn’t know the team and a new coaching staff with new schemes for the players to learn, and this for sake of the structure? And knowing this is going to set us back in the near future?

If things go ideally, we have a solid foundation for the future. But we have rookie GM competing against more experienced GMs out there trying to do the same thing. So if they don’t, we are going to get a really good look at the basement of the AFC West.

I was struck the loyalty of those who were in his corner

Handy.

Carson definitely stil has the skill to be a pro bowl QB next season.

i will go ahead and say pro bowler next year

I really just hope those ex-coaches were lying and that Al didn’t really talk to Mark like that.

RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

in regards to Carson Palmer:

Am I tied to him? well I made the decision so I guess I am

Hue’s fate was sealed when Mr. Davis passed. The organization was flipped completely upside down. He was owner, general manager, CEO, director of personnel, heck he was even assistant head coach in a way. And it has been that way since I can remember.

Let me say that Hue excited me more than any coach we have had in years, and obviously he would still be around if Mr. Davis was still with us. But unfortunately that is not the case, and the whole thing has to be rebuilt. People can call Mark bitter but the fact of the matter is that he was not groomed to be Al Jr. I for one am relieved that Mark is not going to try and run the football operations like his father did, for obvious reasons.

Mark brought in a General Manager with assistance from some strong football minds. Reggie is tasked with helping rebuild the organization, and in order for it to work he must be 100% positive that everyone is on board with his plan. Now I don’t necessarily think Hue would have had any issue with Reggie taking over, but even a small chance that he would have hampered the process would be reason enough for Reggie to let him go. Any GM with such a daunting job ahead of him would start fresh with the coaching staff.

I wish Hue the best and appreciate the passion he gave this team for the past 2 seasons.

Than you’re going to see what a noob really looks like.

The guy is a great OC but needs to improve and I was/am still optimistic that he’ll be a great coach someday.

I just hope he doesn’t go to KC and be their OC.

none of those would have any idea how the Raiders worked internally. Al Davis’ Raiders were the most secretive franchises in sports.

i guess lol :)

without Palmer we finish 4-12 and Hue gets fired anyway

Whether Hue talked his way out of Oakland or if McKenzie just wanted to start from scratch with his own hire…it doesn’t matter anymore.

We are on a new path now and hopefully it leads to the Greatness of the Raiders being restored to it’s rightful place.

I know I’m going to take heat for this, but I don’t care. Sometimes, in a screwbally season like we had this year, you have to look past the W’s & L’s, and see the progress.
For over 40 years I’ve seen the Raiders lose to some team they shouldn’t have, and this year it was Miami. We split with our division rivals, 2 of which came during the Carson transition, which unless your just a bonehead was totally acceptable. That was the first time ever, I was actually happy after a Denver loss, just because I saw so much improvement from Carson. (-3) Then we lost 3 to playoff teams, one that’s going to the Super Bowl, another was favored to win it. (-3) You add a tough 3 point loss against a Bills team that just slaughtered KC in KC, and beat the Patriot the week after us (-1) and your left with one bonehead loss Miami (-1) Hardly reason to be rudely fired.
Forget the fact that I celebrated 8 victories, 3 against teams I hate the most
Forget the fact our founding father passed away, and you kept the team focus for 2 wins
Forget the fact that we were 6-2 when our starting quarterback got injured and was done for the season
Forget the fact that we all thought, that’s it we’re screwed.
Forget the fact, that you took the risk on Carson, and it paid off.
Forget the fact that my wife is a Bears fan and thank you very much!
Forget the fact that its hard enough being an NFL coach without a barge full of problems.
Forget the fact that we were happy to still have a shot at a division championship & the playoffs till the very last minutes of the season.
Forget the fact that Carson threw for 417 yards in the hard fought loss.
Forget the fact that in comparison, our arch rivals poster boy Tebow could have fumbled the ball more than he passed it (62 yds) in their teams pathetic excuse of a loss, and this made me glad I was a Raider fan, and not a Denver fan.
Forget the fact that the defense didn’t kick it up a notch, while you were dealing with major blows.
Forget the fact that it hurt, but if you take away 2 major setbacks, we “were” in the playoffs
Forget the fact that all you had to do was kick some defense booty, and we were Super Bowl bound next year
With all that said, shoot what was I talking about I just forgot everything,lol.
Oh, thats right.
It took a strong person to deal with this years crises & still break even. All I want from our coach is at some point win us a dam Super Bowl. All I expect of him is be competitive and keep us proud, and make progress toward my want. I believe you did just that.
You can’t buy a championship, it comes from team chemistry, and for the first time since Gruden, I felt we were starting to get it. Sorry, the new GM didn’t see it. Sorry everybody saw the glass half empty, not half full like I saw it. I wish you the best where ever you end up, they’ll be lucky to have you. I’m sure you will do fine. Thank Hue (-;
