Jones thought that he could keep them both in the house, but the Tuna has gotten tired of the one bedroom apartment outside of the "ranch" and putting up with the TO bullshit. I'll bet the Tuna didn't let on at all he was bailing out until when he announced or right before. That's why Jones was pissed. Classic Tuna. Alot of the prime "coaching talent" has already been spoken for. Jerry is way behind the power curve. These guys usually take two days off after the season is over before starting to whiteboard the draft and only work 14 hours a day.

It's Bill's MO. He waited until Belichick was with the Browns to retire on the Giants leaving them with Hanley. He left Tampa holding the bag a number of times as he flirted with that job. During Super Bowl week with the Pats, he spent his time negotiating for the Jets job, which hurt his team's chances. He had lots of time to figure out his position with the Jets but only decided to step down into an unclear management role once NE was interested in Belichick.
There's no blaming Bill on this. Just like there's no blaming TO for his antics. Jones knew EXACTLY what he was getting from both.

Hey Big Calm!
Who do you see replacing Parcells?
There was a Dallas reporter on WFAN in NY who said it is likely Norv Turner, an Aikman buddy. Also Stoops from U of OK was mentioned (the OU site is already denying his interest, which is to be expected).
I'd take Ron Rivera or Wade Phillips. We need a Defensive coach and get a good QB coach for Romo. Not sure if Jerry really wants to stick with the 3-4 if so look for Wade. Ron Rivera likes to pressure the QB. But he runs a 4-3 plus you would have to wait another two weeks for an interview with him. We'll see.
No Stoops though..stop with the College coachs..please

How about that motherfucker Al Davis hiring that 31yr. old guy with zero head coaching experience? Damn, I should have sent my resume to LA.

After one USC assistant turns him down, Davis settles for another. That franchise is in Lions territory at this point. They need young blood, not as a coach, but at the owner level.
Romo may be permanently Bucknered. If the missed hold had happened during the regular season (see: Philly versus Dallas in '97 - botched snap on chip-shot game-winner, identical final score 21-20), then Romo could come back next week and try to put it behind him. But he has a whole off-season to stew in it. He may be shot out by the time next year comes around. And Norv Turner? Isn't Dennis Green available, or another failed Pro coach? Hell, Mora is coaching DBs out in the Northwest, you could probably get him on the cheap.

I don't want to pull the race card here, but Denny Greene will not be seriously considered for the job in Big D, just don't see it in the cards. Texas has come a long way, but not that far, eh Big Calm? The cowboy hats and big hair of the folks who pay the big bucks for those boxes won't hear of it.

I don't know if the Raiders will be as good as you hope. That division is STACKED. Lots of losses - Chiefs, Chargers, Broncos - that could be 1-5 or 0-6 just to start! Sure they play four 4th place teams and two 3rd place teams, but ... tough sledding.
But, the Raiders have a history of very young offensive coaches being special.
Gruden, as you mentioned, and who they should have kept. Shanahan, whom they got rid of way too soon. Madden, likely the best of the bunch.
This "kid" has been around football his whole life. His dad was the architect of the Tampa Bay D. If that team had any offence, they would have had more than 1 championship.

My best buddy shares the same optimism for Oakland and their new coach, but then again he has a shrine to Howie Long in his living room, personally I don't think the prognosis is that good. They've been awful recently and it's gonna take a lot to turn them around. But like Willie said, parity is a bitch, they might be able to make a quick fix and be in contention.

As a Jet fan from waaaay back, the thought of Daryle Lamonica to Biletnikoff and/or Wells still freaks me out.

Yeah, but that was decades ago, before dementia took over Al's brain.

This is a serious point. It is entirely likely that Al has some damage of this sort. How the hell will anyone wrest control away from a guy revered as a maverick and visionary of the proto NFL? Any chance we could get Al and Bill Bidwell onto the same plane and fly it over Cuba?

Ok, the reson I'm optimistic is this. The raiders defense was third in the NFL even though they were on the field the entire game and the opponent usually started on the 40. The raiders lost to a few teams by very slim margins.
Cleveland 24 Raiders 21 Denver 13 Raiders 3 Seattle 16 Raiders 0 not that slim but defense only gave up 16. Denver 17 Raiders 13 KC 17 Raiders 13 San Diego the second time around 21 Raiders 14
Those loses wern't exactly blowouts. All I'm saying is that if they use the draft wisely and this young coach is as good as more than a few smart football people say they will be much improved. That defense is sick. They have two of the best corners in football and one of the best ends. The only thing they need to improve on is DT. As far as the offense, yes they have a long way to go but a good oc with a decent scheme and some new blood will improve this team a bunch. If they get AP, Quinn or Russell in the draft that will be a start. I will agree that there have been serious personnel mistakes though. Gruden leaving, signing moss etc. But there were some things that wern't forseen. Gannon getting hurt a few years back, Gallery being a bust or near bust. A lot of know nothing media people are slagging the pick but a lot of knowledegable football people are behind Lane.
And yes, I'm a Kool aid drinker
Ah yes, I love it when you have a clean slate in front of you before the draft and everyone is 0/0 for next season. If you go back on the draft boards and look at the results from the draft gurus over the last 5 years, wonder what average letter grade our Silver and Black boys would have received. I'll bet somewhere around "C". Until the "leisure suit one" can no longer over ride the coach on draft day, your FUCKED....

Greene lost out to Parcells years ago. Jerry wont interview him again. It's looking like Wade Phillips (HC) and Garrett as OC. Then Wade could bring over a DL or LB coach and bump them up to DC. I think Turner is an offensive guru and if Jerry wants to hand the team over to Romo then he'll get Turner to groom him. Ala Aikman...but I think the D needs major help. Our Offense ranked in the top 5 for yards and PPG. Whatever they do I'll still be there

I've not been able to be objective about the Rahdahs since the Sea of Hands.
Even still, they have a long way to go. Who will be the QB? To improve 4+ games from last year, a team needs to find an answer at that position.
Norv Turner was The Man for the Phins at OC a few years back, and it didn't work out. Like any corporate culture, retreads are going to get their chances in the NFL, but I don't see it happening.
Dallas looks as if they will pick up Jason Garrett at OC from the Phins, which might give Tony Oh-No! a chance to recover his mojo at QB. He had better hope he earns a SB ring in his lifetime, or he will go down in history next to Garo Yepremian (who has two rings). Forgetting (as if) the bobbled snap, he met the same fate as many flash-in-the-pan starters after their first few games: people figured out his tendencies and were able to make him look like a rookie.

NFL season really never ends. Coming up with the NFL Network was a stroke of genius, and they will whip the local cable monopolies into line with live games and "instant" replays. There is still one game left to play, but Senior Bowl Practice is there for those junkies who root for one of the 30 teams whose season is over already.
The Colts-Pats game out-Neilsoned even that American Idol crap, proving that 13-year-old girls don't yet have an absolute veto on American pop culture. NFL has pushed past MLB and has outlasted a once-strong move by the NBA to become America's game.

Sorry, both you two... but... Al couldn't hire a person with head coaching experience in either the NFL OR the NCAA. Not good, not good at all to be getting an assistant with no head coaching experience. The only thing that will eclipse this will be in Dallas. It's going to awesome to see who Jerry Jones hires to work for TWO.

Did I hear correctly that Al Davis introduced his new coach as "Lance" Kiffin? Bad things man, bad things.
