Humble_Beast Posted September 10 Author Share Posted September 10 Not going lie, he was one of the guys I wanted that year. Been a bust so far. If he can get some pressures, that would be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially post season when they interviewed basically nobody. It felt that way because it was that way. We definitely took the "throw sh*t and hope it sticks" route. To be honest, I even sometimes question just how much of a push we even made for the only other guy being looked at (Harbaugh). Crazy as it sounds, I wouldn't be surprised if we halfassed trying to actually land him, thinking we get him or he stays at Michigan, especially once the locker room started blabbing.

I honestly feel like Mark Davis went frugal. We never announced Pierce contract. Pierce probably the lowest paid head coach who is just happy to get the job. We are still paying big contracts to Gruden and McDaniels. We also sitting on 30m plus in cap space that Davis save there. I figure Davis is just saving a buck this year and just went with the cheap fan & player favorite choice. If we suck, Davis will pay up for a top tier coach in 2025.

I absolutely don’t think that’s the case. I don’t think it had anything at all to do with being frugal. He went with Pierce as HC to appease the locker room and as he is the antithesis of McDaniels. He probably was over correcting after the Bisaccia / McDaniels situation. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the cheap locker room favorite. Win Win. Pierce and QB the scapegoat if we lose again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harbaugh was never coming to us. His relationship was with Al Davis not Mark. Herbert and California were the main choices to chose chargers . Outside of Michigan he only coached teams in California Edited September 12 by bucksavage1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongJonSilver Posted Wednesday at 04:56 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:56 AM (edited) Raiders worked out two LBers today. Both were UDFAs and final cut down casualties this year. Purest of speculation notes that if either showed out, we're light at LB on the PS while holding two TEs. Steele Chambers (ourlads) - cut by NE, out of Ohio State Andrew Parker (ourlads) - cut by JAX, out of Appalachian State https://www.silverandblackpride.com/2024/9/3/24235084/september-raiders-news-tracker-2024 Edited Wednesday at 05:06 AM by LongJonSilver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongJonSilver Posted Thursday at 05:01 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:01 PM Looks like this action was staying ahead of the fallout if DD's ringing bell knocks him out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbsk Posted Thursday at 06:09 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:09 PM Nothing further came from the Yannick Ngakoue talk then, I guess we went with Chaisson instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Chaisson (and Sam Webb) went on the PS last week, were active/available for the game, and then reverted to the PS this week afterward. They are allowing teams to elevate 2 PS guys directly to the game roster and back again without getting poached (no clearing waivers) this year. I think each guy can only do it once (or maybe twice, I forget), but it is a good idea IMO. Gives PS guys more of a chance at a game check & visibility, and gives teams flexibility & injury protection without risking a guy they have invested time in.
