swede700 Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 1 hour ago, NorthCountryEvo said: I sure hope not. Assuming Shurmur leaves, he needs to be our guy. If i’m not mistaken, teams can block interviews for everything but a head coach vacancy... or maybe they can only block for lateral moves. They can only block lateral moves as it pertains for coaching positions. If it's a promotion, they can't block it. They can block anything when it comes to front office moves. But, I have zero concerns that they could steal away Stefanski. I think it's more likely that they promote from within (either Tom Melvin or Corey Matthaei), with Andy taking the play-calling duties back than pick up an external guy who would also be a rookie OC.

Nope. Trade away Benjamin (overrated yes, but still better than most of their team) and let Ginn walk who was dynamic and just scored a big touchdown against your defense. They literally are giving Cam nothing besides another big receiver in Funchess who isn't anything special, and then McCaffery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelKing728 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Why in the world would anyone go after Turner? He's a terrible fit for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopherwrestler Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Both Shula and Turner run the Air Coryell system.... Not sure what the advantage would really be unless they really want to stick to that system... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopherwrestler Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Gruden, during his press conference, brought up a reason he brought in Paul Guenther was because of working under Mike Zimmer and how he likes that type of defense. Maybe Gruden is smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think it was too long a contract and too much money, but maybe that is what was needed to get out of the booth. I wish them well, but I don't see Gruden ever living up to the contract.

They need a different approach, and if he has more say in who they draft and pick up in FA, then that could help them get the pieces needed to be very competitive. I don't think that team is far off from being very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruden will be looking for a RB if they let Lynch go tho, he is an absolute fan of running the ball. Well always was. Really the Raiders will be a playoff team for a good amount of years with Carr and that offensive line if they can just figure out something on defense.
