so what do ya think??
Rumor has it Raiders brass is intent on getting Chucky out of the booth and plan to move on from Del Rio... surprising actually because prior to Carrs nasty leg break Del Rio had Oakland looking like the dominant team in the AFC...
recent rumors about the also parting wys with certain players might lead one to believe that some of their issues were more "personality" related than coaching...
truth is,...they have appeared well coached.....
I grew up a Raiders fan.....and they remain my "AFC TEAM".... I also live up here...so I see lots of Raiders football... I dont think Del Rio is the problem...
remember everyone thinking Reggie Makenzie was a total idiot when he let JV go,...then over paid his replacement in a rush...then voided that contract because everyone laughed at him?
Their front office right now does not make sound decisions
like,...giving up part ownership in the team to bring back a previous coach who has been sitting in a broadcast booth for ten years...
Gruden is not a typical "Super Bowl Winning Coach"... much as wisenhunt rode Denny Greens team to the playoffs,...Gruden hopped on Tony Gungy's coat tails and rode them all the way to the super bowl... then he won because the idiot who replaced him in Oakland never even changed the terminology of the offense... Callahan kept running Gruden's offense after he left... which is a big reason why the Tampa defense knew every single play the Raiders ran. The Raiders were a better team,... but their coach was an idiot.....Callahan rode Grudens coat tails to the super bowl...lost,...and will likely never be considered as a HC again.... Gruden rode Dungy's, won...and is somehow considered a coaching legend..
But anyway, I digress..
Raiders are looking to sell the farm to bring back Gruden... without any regard as to rather or not its a mistake on their part... consider Jack Del Rio
He has quality head coaching experience and has demonstrated some success.
He oversaw the development of a rookie QB
Del Rio is a proven defensive coach having taken Carolinas defense to the #3 ranking and the Jacksonville defense to a #6 ranking.........oh yeah, he is also given a bit of credit for the success of the Ravens super bowl winning defense in 2000,..strange because he was a LBer coach... yeah, Lbers like T-Sizzle and Ray-Ray
with all that defensive experience the raiders had the #7 scoring offense in 2016
I think DelRio poses a viable option as HC for the redbirds... He has had success as a defensive coach but also developed a rookie QB and produced a top 10 offense in the nfl... not by himself certainly.... but his resume' shows experience and the ability and willingness to adapt and to delegate
He looks to be a guy who can maximize the talent we already have on defense,...while over seeing the rebuilding we need on offense
What do ya think Birdgang??
