Raiders interviewing Mike McCoy, Dennis Allen from Broncos.
This is an interesting move, but both Adam Schefter and Bill Williamson are reporting that we're interviewing Denver OC Mike McCoy and DC Dennis Allen for our head coaching job.
Were Al still running the show I'd be saying this is a typical Al Davis move - picking the brains of a couple of well regarded assistants from the division winners under the pretext of an interview - and it's possible that Reggie may have learnt this trick from Ron Wolf. However, let's assume that it's a legit deal here.
Allen's served as defensive coordinator in Donkeytown for one year, having previously been the Saints' secondary coach. He's also previously been an assistant D-line coach in NOLA, a quality control coach/defensive assistant in Atlanta and the secondary coach of Tulsa University. He likes to attack on defense - a nice change from Panda's pillow D - and will concede yards and the odd big play to force turnovers and sacks and prevent touchdowns. I have to assume part of the reason Denver's D went from historically terrible to good in one shortened offseason is down to him (with Von Miller and a healthy Dumervil playing their part).
McCoy has been OC and QB coach in Denver for three years - he was originally hired by Josh McDaniels but this was his first year calling plays. Before that, he'd been with the Carolina Panthers for eight years and worked his way up - this was probably why Fox kept him around when he came to Denver from Carolina. With Kyle Orton the Broncos were running mostly a spread passing attack, but because Tebow is a muppet McCoy brought in that stupid option offense. I actually like this - it shows he can adapt his schemes to the personnel around him, which of course was a strength of Hue's. We're also not the only team to show interest in him - the Dolphins have set up an interview for their HC slot.
Neither of them would be at the top of my list, but Allen in particular wouldn't be a bad hire IMO. I really want to see us get in an aggressive, defensive minded head coach (Spagnuolo would still be my first choice, given that I reckon he got a pretty raw deal in St Louis) who recognises that it's probably best to leave well enough alone with the offense. I.e. either re-hire Al Saunders or get in an OC who knows the Air Coryell system which was the basis of our passing attack.
And just to throw my 2c into the "Bring Back Chucky" well - I don't want it. Just like I don't believe in going back to an ex years later no matter how great it was at the time, especially if you (or your team) has changed as much as we have in that time and gone through what we've gone through. Gruden is a west coast offense guy and Palmer would look even worse in the WCO than he did in Hue's offense. Plus, I'm still not convinced of his ability to make an average team great - and let's face it, at this point in time, we are an average team. When he had average teams in Tampa Bay and a significant role in personnel, he struggled. Combine this with the fact that he has a nice cushy job on ESPN right now and a young family, and I don't see why he would even be interested in returning to coaching no matter how much unfinished business he may have in Oakland.
It's time for the Raiders and the Nation to look forward. Whoever our new head coach may be, let's hope he can take us there.
Screwfish out.

WTF? Hell no, I don't want any of their coaches. They blow.
McCoy would be interesting though…. Have a feeling he would have success with Terrelle Pryor as our starting QB…. but… fuck that we have no reason to talk to him unless we want a gimmick offense for Pryor. We must go on with Palmer and Al Saunders.
Let’s just bring Moss as HC.
The RaiderLaker
Not sure where "Carson can't run the West Coast Offense" is coming from
but let’s kill that right now, shall we? Pete Carroll was his coach at USC- arguably when he played at his absolute best. Norm Chow was his OC at USC. The West Coast offense is what he ran there to perfection.
Come on man
We all have that ex who was smoking hot and you wonder what shes doing now and if that dude she left you for really turned out to be as big a douche as you thought he was but you had a raging drinking habit at the time and so you don’t really blame her but then you google her and look her up on facebook and holy shit she still looks good in that tight sweater I wonder if I should send her a friend request nah that would be creepy but damn she was good in bed

This is one REALLY bad idea
seriously, their O sucked ass. Their D was good, but obviously not good enough to beat NE, twice, thusly not Raiders worthy. What is next for the Raiders? Running the option with TP? GTFO!
i would love to see some form of hybrid option with TP
maybe this is some covert scouting for ideas like Al used to do

As a potential future employer, Mark may one day reach out to me and I know for a fact I would always welcome and leave the door open for a possible reunion. (If and when the that day comes)
I think Mark is in it to win it and establish his own mark with the Raiders, but the interesting thing will be how he handles adversity from the front office side of things.
One day he may have to actually fire Reggie and that’s going to be interesting in itself because I’m not used to seeing that side of Mark.

but hopefully for less than 11 million!!
I guess that’d be right if Mike Huff makes 8 million though?
Every man for himself...
Charles needed to grow up and it wasn't going to happen here.
He needed to go out and see that everyone didn’t want him and it was because of his attitude.
He did find all of that out and signed with the only team to extend him an olive branch and it paid off for both of them.
Now that he is grown up and if he is available, it would be great to have him back.
The price though seems high unless we dump the grossly overpaid Routt and replace him with Charles…that I would be for.

Above rant translates to
“It’s a shame Mark Davis wasn’t more like his dad. Got his business degree from Chico State and never wanted to run the Raiders, kept in the shadow his whole “career”, working on getting a stadium deal that never happened. Then allegedly got bullied by his own head coach because when you get sand kicked in your face your whole life, why stop at age 50something? So when he was confronted by a coach that wasn’t more like Ned Flanders, he signed off on a trade which Al might not have. Then he was mad that he’d been “bullied” even though with that bowl haircut, he’s practically begging for it, so he fired you. Of course the fact that the Raiders sucked almost the whole last decade because SOMEBODY forgot that defense what gets you that Super Bowl ring, and it’s easier to blame you then that one guy who refused to hire good coaches after Gruden, thought he could run the defense, refused to re-sign John Marshall in favor of Chuck Bresnahan, drafted Fabian Washington instead of Aaron Rodgers, drafted JaMarcus Russell instead of Calvin Johnson, etc., etc. AND BY THE FUCKING WAY, ALL THESE FUCKING CAPS REALLY GET YOUR ATTENTION, DON’T THEY?"

The point is we're too carefree in the blame game
All Raider fans everywhere have a choice. They can take the positives of season and hope for future or they choose to assign blame for the problems the Raiders. But if they choose the blaming route, it all ends up at one place. There’s no half-stepping in pointing the finger.This what we all should have learned over this past decade.
We did not have to capitalize on the big play
we needed 3 fucking yards for a first down and to continue the drive and it did not take til Monday morning for me to say that was a stupid play.
You seemed to have very little confidence in your offensive unit and it seemed a little like desperation to go for so much when the odds of success are so long and so little yardage was needed.

How is interviewing these guys a bad idea?
I know we all hate the Broncos, but an interview doesn’t mean we have to hire them. McKenzie is doing his job, and looking all over the place for his coaching staff.
agreed i say interview everyone, maybe they know something we dont
but i have to believe there are better candidates available. dont want a broncos guy
Yeah, I don't think they're likely to be the best candidates
But hey, you never know. And it’s always good to get to pick the brains of the opposition.
What? Was Art Shell no longer available?
hahahahahahaha
Id still be interested in him as a head coach, u dont believe his record in St Louis showed how good he could be.

Look at everybody and decide from there. Don’t miss a chance to get info on a rival. Pick the right guy after you have seen all the options. I am fine with it and like how Reggie is handling it.
Carson would he great in a westcoast system. Its all about timing routes, adjusting at the line and accuracy on the deep ball when they crowd the defense forward. All of those are strengths of his.

Palmer can't run the option
his QB draw is not very successful either…. I say no
Palmer doesn't run
It has a lot to do with those cement shoes he wears. It may make him the slowest QB in the history of the NFL. Next to Peyton Manning.

Ok seriously?? How did he do well with the Broncos offense??
They pretty much sucked ass, the only 2 teams Tebow scored more than 17 on without having to play catch-up was the Vikings….and yes….us. Their offense sucked and went well for a couple of weeks with the option, do you remember the wildcat and what happened to it?? Figured out, lets not copy something that will be figured out by next season and instead lets rejoice as we watch the Broncos sink when they cant even score even 3…Hopefully you are all right that Palmer can run a West Coast offense because quite frankly all that he has done in this league is throw bombs, deep outs, long comebacks, etc. He avarages like 14 yards a throw I havent seen him run a west coast offense…but if you say he has done it, Im ok with it, plus if it is a pass first offense DMC may not be as njured as he usually is, since he wont get anything close to the amount of carries he got
the option was implanted
to help out tebow! he did a good job creating plays for the tebow and the receivers!. lets be honest Tebow is a horrible qb and palmer would fit perfect with his system just like orton ran it for the last couple of years.
Dude, that system sucked inside the 20.

"Moss says he’s all ears when it comes to Raiders"....This Guy Wan't To Be Here And Will Stay!!!
"If the Raiders were to call and ask, I’ll be ready to speak with them," Moss told the Associated Press, one day after the Packers were eliminated from the NFC Playoffs by the New York Giants. "But nothing’s changed from last week. I feel good where I’m at. If there’s an opportunity that comes up in the future, we’ll probably cross that bridge at that time. But at this present time, right now, not a lot to talk about."
"At the time, Al Davis was there, Art Shell was my coach," Moss said. "And we had good times. I had some of my better times as a player in the National Football League with the Raiders. Whatever I’ve taken from the past with the Raiders, and Al Davis not being there anymore, you’ve got to say going forward that it’s going to be different.
"It’s going to be different from the standpoint of, Reggie wants to go in a new direction, so I’ll sit down and speak with Reggie to get his vision, what direction he wants the organization to go in. That’s going to play a lot in to it."
"There’s always opportunities to put yourself in the same position as a head coach would and see how you would do things or what you would change or what you would add or what you would take away," Moss said. "So with that being said, I’ve done that, I feel good about the vision, the goals, the beliefs that can be instilled within an organization that would give me the opportunity to be a head coach."
"Tebowphobe"!!!
A Reminder From 1/12/11 Lest We Forget!!!
The Raiders have fired two coaches the last two seasons for going 8-8, but they may lose the playoffs-or-bust mentality next year.
Owner Mark Davis and new general manager Reggie McKenzie want to build something long-lasting, and with the looming restructuring of the personnel department and a high player payroll, they realize that may take time.
“Mark Davis has told me that he wants long-term success, and we’re going to start it right now,” McKenzie said. “To begin, we’re going to have to build. That’s where our mind-set is.”
The first step is putting in a structure, one different from late owner Al Davis calling all the shots, and McKenzie this week handed Mark Davis a chart of how the front office should look. The next steps are filling those jobs and hiring a new coach, Oakland’s seventh in the past 10 seasons.

I’m a victim of the neck injury myself and when there is the issue that’s affecting Payton now it ain’t going to just disappear…It’s called “Spinal Cord Lesions” and I have this effect at multiple levels…C2 to C7…
This is me and unfortunately most likely also Payton Manning??
Direct damage can also occur if the spinal cord is pulled, pressed sideways, or compressed. This may occur if the head, neck, or back are twisted abnormally during an accident or injury.
“contusions, with necrosis, swelling”
Neurological symptoms vary from complete loss of function below the injured segments to temporary loss of cord function with complete recovery. Specific symptoms depend on the site of injury. e.g. posterior horn or column injury produces paresthesias, pain and other sensory disturbances; anterior horn or corticospinal tract damage results in weakness or paralysis.
Symptoms vary somewhat depending on the location of the injury. Spinal cord injury causes weakness and sensory loss at and below the point of the injury. The severity of symptoms depends on whether the entire cord is severely injured (complete) or only partially injured (incomplete).
The spinal cord doesn’t go below the 1st lumbar vertebra, so injuries at and below this level do not cause spinal cord injury. However, they may cause “cauda equina syndrome” — injury to the nerve roots in this area.
CERVICAL (NECK) INJURIES
When spinal cord injuries occur in the neck area, symptoms can affect the arms, legs, and middle of the body. The symptoms may occur on one or both sides of the body. Symptoms can include:
Breathing difficulties (from paralysis of the breathing muscles, if the injury is high up in the neck)
Loss of normal bowel and bladder control (may include constipation, incontinence, bladder spasms)
Numbness
Sensory changes
Spasticity (increased muscle tone)
Pain
Weakness, paralysis
The Indianapolis Colts have held firm that the medical issues surrounding quarterback Peyton Manning are far from being resolved.
“In regards to Peyton, we’re not even there with anything involving Peyton Manning quite yet,” Grigson said. “We have to know about his medical, there are so many things. I’m not there yet.”
Let me assure you NO one wants to send a guy back in there with this type of injury and risk excessive long term damage or even death!!!…They retired my ass and wouldn’t allow me back on a job site regardless of how much I showed them I was up to it even after I stayed working for almost 3 months after the injury date…That was until they figured out how much more I was suffering than what I was allowing them to see…The MRI doesn’t lie and I couldn’t hide that from them…But at $32.50/hr I was NOT walking off willingly….Boilermaker Local 549 Pittsburgh Cali..Injury date 7-30-01 Bechtel Corp…Delta Energy Project….Retired 10-10-01 from that job by force!!!

Damn
Nolan would have been nice. Del Rio for DC would be really cool. As for the HC, is there anybody really any good out there? I know the love for Chucky is strong with some of us (cough….oz…….cough), but I’ve heard no mention of McKenzie even thinking about Gruden. Interviews with Capers and Moss would be interesting too. I’m just not seeing a coach to come in and take us to the playoffs. There aren’t a lot of Harbaugh’s out there. Gotta tell ya, getting depressed with this nonsense. I really hope McKenzie picks someone good. Other wise, ughhhh, hello bottom of the AFC West :(

The Eagles OC?
Okay, maybe we don’t need to interview everyone. Seriously, with all the weapons that team had I was in no way impressed with the way the offense was handled.
I'm pissed!
Sour grapes? hell yes… I’m still very pissed!

Ridiculous
I hope McKenzie is just fucking with us now. This guy is not a good head coach. He has to have a real list and this is him just making the rounds. Seriously, teams are swooping coachs up left and right. I know this is an important decision. That is why I’m going to assume he already knows who he wants. Gotta let this shit play out.

Stop The Damn Trade Carson Palmer Talk!!!...It Too Stupid To Even Consider!!!
Why the hell would we trade for a 1st or 2nd rd pick while we’re paying a 1st n 2nd rd pick…Possible 2-1st….That’s just down right stupid!!!…So if you think Marc and Reggie are dumb enough to take some 2nd rd pick this season while giving up our 1st and 2nd next season than you obviously don’t think either should be in charge of an NFL franchise!!!
So how much would you pay for Luck?….Would you give up this season’s #17 pick as well as next season 2nd rd pick for the 1st selection in this NFL draft?
Guess what….Trading Palmer to Indy would be the same as trading our #17 pick and our 2013 2nd rd pick….
Just something to throw a curve into what I’m pimping about the trade that will never happen!!!
"Tebowphobe"!!!
I dont want them to trade Palmer away, but if I had to choose between Manning and Palmer
I would choose Manning 10 out of 10 times, I know it’s not gonna happen but a man can dream can’t he?
imagine if the Raiders got Peyton
and he returned back to form and they had a dominate defense that no one could move the ball on them
Not likely
There is a better chance that he returns to form then our defense ever being dominant in the next few years. We just need a serviceable d unit. Still, Peyton retiring a Raider, I could get behind that. Just a dream though.

Well If We Traded Palmer To Indy We Would Have Their #1 This Seasn....The 1st Pick In The Draft...
Who would we select?…A “QB”?
"Tebowphobe"!!!
you would have to take andrew luck
but theres no way indy is not drafting their QB of the future. the guy is going to be a rockstar
Andrew Luck
but the chances of that happening are about as likely as that guy pretending to be Hue Jackson on here actually being Hue

What round is Kellen Moore projected to be drafted? I read 6-7 in some places. I know he’s small, but if available Mr. Mckenzie should snag him.

actually nah
i dont think Reggie would let go of pryor. WE gots our QB of the future already but maybe he can be brought in as a 3rd stringer, unless better prospects are available during those rounds.

I think we've spent too many draft picks on QBs already
We’ve got other areas that need attention.
i know but we are not sure of that.
Reggiw may want to draft another qb in the later rounds. he might bring one in during FA. Carson is the starter and TP is the future but what if he doesnt like TP as the QB?

i dont like running the option but what about TP running the Wildcat?
or should we call it the wild Pirate
Or.
You make Pryor the back up, sign a journeyman emergency qb,
Palmer is the guy. And he’s gonna do just fine as long as Al Saunders remains the OC.

I've no problem looking for a back up or whatever in FA
We need someone in that respect. Boller just ain’t cutting it. I just don’t think we should be looking QB with the few draft picks we’ve got. Of course if there’s a really talented kid available in the later rounds and he’s the best guy on the board then yeah, go ahead an draft him.
with the few picks we have
including compensatory picks, (end of the 3rd round at the earliest);
Raiders need to draft the best player available regardless of need.
Our earliest probable pick is 97th (i.e., first compensatory pick after all 32 teams drafted their three rounds).
We must get at least one player in the top 100 of Raiders’/Reggie’s board.
Don't think so this year.
I can see us going QB next year – if we suck, we’ll be in the race for Barkley or one of the Tylers, if we’re good (hopefully) we’ll be taking a career backup type.
Pryor is our QBOTF though.

Just remember guys;
I told Tom to sit Jason last year in favor of Gradkowski at halftime, and could easily see Bruce being brought back to work behind Carson.
You know I like those players with ties to the Bengals.

Bowles is looking better
with each new candidate that comes up.
Bowles may be the front runner since many of those interviewed don't seem to be serious.
I wonder what The Nation would think of Capers now if Morninweg ended being the guy. I don’t like McCoy because when that offense was at its best it was lethargic and catered to Tebow. Carson is the anti-Tebow! Allen sounds like a decent prospect because that defense played balls out at times not including this past Saturday in NE. Also as for the NO OC, he just started calling plays but the majority of the past 5 years it’s been all Sean Payton all the time. He may be a decent choice if he get get our tight ends to put up half the production he got out of Jimmy Graham. Other than that Dom Capers is still my top choice of those considered and again it’s my opinion.

Im guessing they will not be pursing any big name coaches
It has rookie HC written all over it. Just look who they have brought in so far. Dom Capers is the only one with some form of experience
You know
When you talk about about building a solid team, isn’t the head coach as much a part of that as the GM? Don’t the great coaches have a lot of input into personnel, and the teams become better because of it? Reggie says he wants to be build a good, long lasting team. Would not a great coach (as opposed to a beginner just feeling his way) help in that endeavor?
The bad thing about that is that a "big name" HC would demand more power and it seems like
Reggie wants it all (or most of it)….looks like we’ll get a rookie HC
Tice isn't a rookie.
He did an OK job as Vikings HC, but there were a lot of off-field scandals (ticket scalping, the boat sex party) that screwed things up for them.

But he's not a "great coach" either, my point is Reggie will hire someone with a smaller ego
than say Gruden, Cowher, etc..
My reaction if we hire Chucky as HC

we’re cheap, like to drink and are pissed off.

Why Hue in the first place?
I think after the Shell, Kiffin, Cable issues, Al Davis wanted someone that was positive and outgoing to restore some of the fun and excitement around the team. It was well intentioned and actually worked to change the atmosphere of the Raiders. But now, they need to get serious. Hue Jackson was a great offensive coordinator, but I’m sorry to say, he wasn’t a great head coach, and I supported him.
