Like you said no one knows what goes on behind closed doors. But, I cannot and will not buy into this thing that says “Guys are turning us down who have never had or been given the opportunity to HC.” This is not like turning down a job at McDonalds. This is a Head Coach in the NFL. On Al’s interference, Is it interference or is it that he wants the team he built to be the very best it can be? Jon Gruden said he understood Al questioning him all the time about what was going on with the team. He said that after he went to the Bucs. I think I said this last year, but the Raiders have NEVER run a shotgun. We did last year. That tells me Al Davis has relinquished some of the “meddling” he has been accused of. On a run stopper, this is where we can all agree. I was hoping for Grady Jackson also. But, we did hold LT in check for most of the second half and aside from that long 60 yard run in the first half (where there were 3 uncalled holds but I digress), we stopped him pretty good in my opinion. On Josh McCown, he is a back up cuz we brought him here and gave him a look over and said “No Thanks.” I don’t know if that was a good or bad decision, but him and Brooks came in at around the same time. If you look at their career numbers, Brooks looks much better on paper (I know that aint sayin’ much). On Jerry Porter…. **** JERRY PORTER.. nuff said.
