Packers director of football operations Reggie McKenzie is headed to Oakland to become their new general manager, whether coach Hue Jackson likes it or not.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter broke the news, which sounds unlikely to be confirmed by the Raiders right away. (What’s new?)

McKenzie and the Raiders still have to iron out details of McKenzie’s power within the organization. Ron Wolf and John Madden, who both helped with the Raiders search in unofficial capacities, both supported McKenzie’s bid for the job.

Once McKenzie is hired, it will be interesting to see how the team structures the relationship between McKenzie and Jackson. It’s also believed McKenzie could bring along Eliot Wolf, Ron’s son, to come with him from Green Bay.

McKenzie played with the Raiders from 1985-1988. He’s been with the Packers personnel department for 18 years.

No matter how things work out with Jackson, this is a great move for the Raiders. The team’s personnel department has been stuck in outdated, 1970′s thinking for a long time. McKenzie should bring them into the modern era.


Hue Jackson, just might be on the way out the door....

I woke up this afternoon to read this news and it instantly brighted my day. Good things should come of this signing. We shall see what unfolds in the next few months

BRING IT!!

Shit's gettin' crunk up in here.

Bresnahan out on his ass IMMEDIATELY and now a rising star GM who was part of building last year's world champion team.

Of course, Chudeze won't be happy until they burn Alameda to the ground with Hue and Palmer inside, but I personally am RIGHT THERE with what Mr. Davis Jr. has done so far.

He is picking all the right brains.

So true. our new owner is doing the right shit.

I'll let Palmer out...I lock and chain the fucking door on Hue. I'd use his nail polish as an accelerant.

You may not have to. I heard a rumor on another board, although I don't particularly believe it, that Hue is out and Winston Moss is in as HC.

I can find no substance behind the rumor yet.

There was an article saying Winston Moss might be tagging along but it did not say as HC. Other articles are saying Huey might be out as HC so who knows what will happen.

If Moss comes along it won't be as DC. He's assistant Head Coach in Green Bay. So he'd have to be promoted to leave.

The rumor was total bullshit. Sorry bro.

I put it at about 85% Hue will be coaching this team next season at least. And if we make the playoffs... Hell, could be the start of a dynasty.

So the only to way to get rid of Hue is to send 790 on a mission?
