You have to have some fire power on offense in the west to compete. A defensive HC would also be kind of meh.... Harbaugh is exciting and has the pedigree. Ryans, it's a year or two to early. Recency bias really getting in the way on that one. Agreed. Vic Fangio proved as much with Denver, they had a top 5 defense this year and were 4th in the division. Harbaugh is be the best option, imo, but with how things seem to be trending I think we're going to hire McDaniels or Bowles unfortunately, lol.

NYRaider Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 So we still haven't officially interviewed anyone outside of Rich and Mayo? I'm assuming the Bowles interview will happen later this week and the Ryans interview is reportedly expected to happen next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see Ziegler with McDaniels as the head coach and Mayo as the DC. I would be very happy with this trio. For some reason, I think McDaniels is going to be the Pete Carroll/Bill B. type that figures it out the second time around as a HC.

While that could still be the case, Raiders owner Mark Davis is also currently on the hunt for a new GM after firing Mike Mayock earlier this month. That decision is likely to have a major impact on what Harbaugh ultimately decides to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer to keep Rich over hiring Bowles tbh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowles gets his interview done and we’ll see. And I totally agree with y’all about needing offense, maybe defense does win championships but it didn’t Sunday night.

The team was also the least profitable organization in the NFL and only worth $700M at the time of his death. Mark certainly hasn't been the perfect owner but in the decade he has been in control of the team he has secured a new, state of the art stadium in Las Vegas, the team has made the playoffs twice, and the Raiders are now one of the most valuable franchises in the league at $3.5B. Mark catches a ton of flack in the media and is viewed as an outsider amongst NFL owners but he deserves his props. I make fun of Mark because he's goofy as hell and has some dumb ideas.... But yeah, I never really understand some of the legitimate dislike of the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside hate is likely due to the fact he's not a part of the good boy's club of NFL owners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickButera Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Guess we're not interviewing DeMeco Ryans until after the Championship game. I thought we'd get that out of the way this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He reminds me of the guy who wins the super lotto and buys his favorite team lol He got the stadium deal done, invested in new facilities and hires people and stays out the way. Besides the haircut, whats not to like? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezy Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 all the top HC's are still available, i am glad Mark is not rushing into a decision. Especially without a GM in place. I just hope we get this GM thing taken care of soon. What's the hold up on Dodds? His team has been out and i don't believe he's had many interviews. I know some things happen behind the scenes but i dont see a set interview in place. We requested the interview 3 days ago. The good thing is that i dont believe hes been linked to anywhere else after withdrawing from the Bears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
