ChiefsPlanet - Raiders Hire New Coach. Lane Kiffin, OC at Southern California

read post 11

are you referring to the poster over head? didnt say he was raiderfan?

There's some guys over there that have some pretty high post counts, and they're talking some jealousy of the Raiders. Not the plain blind hatred I'd expect outta there. (But then again, it's not Orange Mange) But read some of these articles. I love it:

Written by FringeNC- "Is Buddy Ryan's son still there? If so, Oakland might not be a doormat any more. Ryan evidently could just blow Al off, and still field a good defense -- Oakland had a MUCH better defense than we did. If Kiffin can do the same thing on the offensive side of the ball....

I'd much rather have Kiffin and Ryan than I would Herm and Gunther. I think we probably have the worst coaching staff in the division now."

Written in response by Archie bunker- "I'd trade Gun for Ryan in a heartbeat. I'm not sure what Kiffin has done to warrant the high praise other than your hatred for Herm."

Replied to by FringeNC - "Most thought USC would fall back to the pack when Norm Chow left for Tennessee. It didn't happen. Kiffin and Sarkasian are very well respected despite the young age.

You win in this league by having difference-makers in the front office and/or on the coaching field. Is there any player in the league you'd take over Bill Belichick? Any TWO players in the league?

Oakland seems to have an impact coach in Ryan. They lost a negative difference-maker in Art Shell. Kiffin really doesn't have to be a genius for their staff to be better than ours.

Just who are our difference makers in the front office and coaching staff? Who is above average at their respective job? Seriously, name one.

Usually, it takes a few years for a system to fall apart. Seifert kept the 49ers going a long time after Bill Walsh left. Even Callahan kept it going in Oakland for a year after Gruden left. Herm destoyed our offense immediately."


It sounds like some of these guys are bigger Raiders fans than Chiefs fans.

why are they hating on herm edwards whe n he took hem to the playoffs. all he has to do is bench green and put huard in.

They choked in the playoffs, but I've got respect for Herm. good coach. Just a bad team. (Not even really, but I only say that cause I like LJ)

yea for the last 5 years *****

Fairweather fans... They all can jump ship as far as I'm concerned

I guess you can call me one then,but then I have always thought that if I were a Bungle or Saints fan I would not be a fan at all,and I didn't watch or keep up with any games after Monday Night vs the Dagos week one,and I didn't visit this site again till last week,I just didn't want to deal with it,as I said before I a spoiled a$$ Raider fan only because at one time great players played smart football and I've seen over the last 25 years off the field stuff has been more talked about than any f'king great plays or players you can think of,I've seen the f'king media hammer a wedge between players and coaches every chance they got,I've seen empty seats every f'king home game,I've seen great player turn to sh't in silver N Black,I've seen players leave then kick our ass in big games,and I've seen coaches leave then kick our ass in big games,I can count how many times we beat sh'tyhimer and The Rat on one hand in 17 F'ing years!,And whatever dark f'king dark cloud we have hanging over us has not lifted just because we have a spunky new coach,Fair weather,no I'm just f'king sick..lol


If the league does not want the Raiders they should just kick us out of the league I'm fine with joining the Canadian league,Really! the politics of the League Office and Media have been beating us with a baseball bat going on 20 years now,and I'm glad I missed all the sick mother f'king sh't they had to say about the Raiders this year,and I will not follow the draft because God Forbid whoever "Al" drafts and it does not matter, the misery gimps will be out in force,so I say to all Raider fans.."DONT SUBJECT YOURSELF TO THAT SH'T".

So...If the Raiders just tee it up this year and "try" to win I might get back to normal,and jeez I haven't even looked at any Raider scores after week one this year I only know our record, but I wont look,that would be like going to an autopsy.

Sickman,soon to be Deadman
