Default Raiders | Dennis Allen named head coach
Tue, 24 Jan 2012 18:07:58 -0800

Updating a previous report, the Oakland Raiders named Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Dennis Allen as their new head coach Tuesday, Jan. 24. Allen informed the Broncos he was taking the head coaching position Tuesday. He becomes the first Raiders head coach with a defensive background since the late Al Davis promoted John Madden from linebackers coach in 1969.

Not to mention that John Fox, who is known for his defense, was the HC and Allen had only been a DC for just one year. Not the worst of the candidates, but Coach Jackson will likely be missed. Now I am curious if Coach Allen will retain Al Saunders - personally, it would be wise to keep him.

When Gruden was asked if he would coach the Raiders again he was quoted as saying, ”Tomorrow if I could”.

Jesus Christ, I was waiting for the first person to say that.

That's what I've heard about 6 new HCs in the last 10 years.

Tell you what, YOU give the asshole a chance, and I'LL sit here and be really pissed for yet another year.

Yeah, Hue really had to go right? Careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

Fuck this.

Here's what blows my mind. So we wanted a defensive minded HC right? Fine.

How about Gregg Williams? The guy who, IMO, almost single-handedly propelled the Saints to the SB the night he almost single-handedly ended Favre's career?

I'd rather have Dom Capers. At least that guy took an expansion team to the Conf Championship in their SECOND year. Unheard of.

But no, we had to reach into the bag labeled "Sack of Nobodies" for our HC. Apparently one of the check boxes on our evaluation form said "Never done jack shit for anyone anywhere."

Check.

Yeah, and that's exactly why we needed a new DC.

So, you hire a guy on as HC because you can say his unit was "better than what we have"? That's your criteria??

"Well, I know their defense was in the bottom third of the league, but they were better than what we have."

Way to shoot for the fucking moon. A fantastic winning philosophy.
