NickButera Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I'm just going to re-iterate...why is Davis dragging his feet? We've interviewed 2 HC candidates and 1 GM candidate (2 as of today when we finish with our second). (That we know of) When all the other teams are either done or wrapping them up. Some teams have interviewed up to 8-10 candidates. They say we are being thorough, some say we need to hire the right guy not the fastest guy...but we haven't even figured out who we're going to interview yet it seems. It makes me upset, it's the most Raiders thing ever and I've seen Al Davis do this in the past. East-West Shrine bowl is in 11 days. Scouting should be in full effect, yet we haven't even interviewed enough GM candidates to figure out who our finalists are, let alone figure out a new coaching and scouting staff (I'm assuming whoever the new GM is won't turn over the scout staff this offseason because it will be too late) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't love that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't love that. I think the easy answer is we already know what we're doing. No sense in going ape **** interviewing if we have our plan in place behind closed doors. If is Dodds and Harbs.. it's already done. Edited January 21, 2022 by Totty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have zero trust in Davis's ability to make the right decisions. He is so in over his head it's not even funny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 The Dodds thing is odd to me cause there hasn’t been a report of the Raiders reaching out to him and requesting a interview. Just Ian saying the Raiders should have interest. Maybe that was done in silence and wasn’t made public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if he currently works for another team it has to be disclosed and officially requested, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I’ll say is, if it’s a 50/50 between Rich and McDaniels, give me Rich. But ideally it’s neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich held it together and I applaud his efforts but it just doesn't look like a long-term solution 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bisaccia gives you nothing in game planning, play install, scheme, etc. Literally nothing outside being a good guy who listens to players. That works for a small amount of time. Eventually you have to actually coach. We saw Bisaccia coach against Andy Reid. Kicked a FG down 35-0. Anyone but Rich Bisaccia please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams have interviews 4 times as many candidates in 1 week. The answer can't be as simple as Rooney rule or it'd be done. There's something else going on.

Nightmare Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Have we interviewed Mayo yet or is that still to come? If so, can’t be Rooney Rule stopping us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
