ronjon1990 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 13 games too late. We're pretty much out of the playoffs. Why wait for that to be the case? How many more years Gruden got left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many more years Gruden got left? with a competent defense I'd still take gruden on offense. like it or not, this is the most consistent our team has been on offense in a long time. firing for some unknown isn't going to help. we just need a solid defense/scheme. we have some talent there. littleton didn't turn to a dud overnight.

jimkelly02 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Thank God he’s gone..... he was horrible. Straight trash. His scheme was so stale and out of date and he lacked the intelligence to adapt to the times. The guy could be a good LBs coach again but that’s it. I don’t think Marinelli is a long term answer, and in fact he better not be, but he’s good enough to carry us through the rest of the season as we cling onto a low percentage chance of making the playoffs. But we need a young innovative defensive mind who can develop new schemes and coverages for the changing NFL. You simply can’t use 10-15 year old schemes. They’ve been figured out a long time ago and won’t work in today’s advance offensive age. It’s like using a 15yr old Computer at work. I don’t want another retread DC who failed somewhere else and will bring the same failed system here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trojan Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I want Mayock to hire the next DC if Rod Marinelli doesnt significantly improve this defense. If Grudens picks can't make a defense, maybe our GM who evaluates the draft and free agent class can hire a DC that fits what he can assemble.

I hope we get a young sharp mind and not some retread trash... Let's be honest coaching for the Raiders in any fashion over the last 25 years has been a graveyard, so I am assuming it may be difficult to land top talent. Lol you know its gonna be a gruden grinder..Raheem morris is my best guess. But some new young guy with some new innovative stuff aint gonna happen.

RaidersAreOne Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 It'll be interesting to see what Rod does with the D now. Will be bring more blitzes? More bump and run? Who does he rotate in vs. who is in his dog house. We can't really get worse so it's worth the change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCOUGHMAN Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 And we drafted guys to fit his system 🤦🏽♂️Over other people 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaiderX Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Scheme has been awful and the only real bright spots on defense have been the individual play of Kwiatkoski and Mullen. Fully expected this move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaidersAreOne Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Fangio would be an absolute homerun if/when Denver cans him, but he likely could get any DC opening so I doubt he coaches under Gruden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldManWillis Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 This is way over due, but at least it happened finally. How can the player be held accountable when the DC repeatedly gets a pass? I just never understood that. Have little faith in Marinelli, but at least it should provide a little spark these next few weeks. Here's to hoping we get a young innovative defensive mind, and not another retread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
