Coaching Candidates to Take Over the Oakland Raiders

10
Vote

by user LastRow


Given the utter disarray of the Oakland Raiders organization, ever since getting lambblasted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl XXXVII, you can’t help it feel pity for Al Davis and company. Why here’s a storied franchise that has changed coaches over the past few years than I’ve changed my tidie whities…I know, it’s not a pleasant thought at all. We were told that bringing Art Shell back to Oak-Town for his second stint was just what the doctor ordered to resurrect things in the black hole…Turns out just after one year the sequel was no different than the original, just that the sequel was more like a half hour comedy rather than an hour long special.

Who will Al Davis & the Raiders hire next? That’s the question…Although my question is will it really matter? I wonder if this time Big Al will scurry up all the employees at the Howard Johnson hotel chains across this great nation to see if he can find a diamond in the rough…Because those Bed & Breakfasts, well, they’re just not working! Perhaps Al would take this opportunity to consult with Matt Millien to see who he suggests…Since it appears he has a good handle on things in Detroit.

Well Al, I don’t know you…Haven’t had the dubious distinction of meeting you, but I would like to help a senior citizen out here. I know you have a lot of things on your mind these days with your health deteriorating…We all understand that’s your number one worry, rightfully so! We all will be at that stage that you are now…Some sooner than later. As a football fan, I’ve compiled a list of coaching candidates that I feel as though they would make good successors to Art Shell. I’ve given you 50-plus names Al to look over, (yes, I did say 50-plus names) and just maybe, just maybe you’ll find one that stands out. All the names below come with extraordinary character that will uphold the Raider mystique…I’ll be honest, of the candidates below you won’t find any great character in individuals! Why, it’s second to none!

If there’s a name on here that stands out to you Al, just get in contact with LastRowSports.com…We have everybody’s contact information whose name appears below. Looking forward to speaking with you Mr. Al Davis.

Vote in LastRowSports.com Pick’em Poll this week which asks about “Cowboys Gaffes?” This is an interesting one considering what Tony Bobble did in Seattle! To find out you're choices you have to go to the home page and find out…You’ll be glad you did! Let’s just say voting in this poll is a whole heck of a lot easier than giving a cat a bath! NOTE: This isn’t a scientific poll, however by not voting in this non-scientific poll we’ll assume that you would rather give a cat a bath!

Homer Simpson has already coached a football team to overunderachieving status! They "lambblasted" Arlen! By the way... I don't know I've ever seen a true lambblasting... sounds messy!

Norm! + I've heard that Al Davis has a pretty high F Bomb to regular word ratio... He's high on my list of reasons why no one should own a HD TV

Good to know the F-Bomb Ratio is higher in Oak-Town than the Randy Ratio

Well, prepare for the most cartoonish coach there is... Randy knows him well, the Bay Area knows him well... The next Raiders head coach... He is who you think he is!! Be Prepared to Crown his Ass! Denny Green!

Give it to an English Rugby coach, and get them to play rugby instead. I.e. lots of laterals, lots of rushing and no passing (and draft a good QB like Quinn into the bargain, just to annoy the fans even more). At least then their dismal 2007 will be different, and the American fans can laugh at them. Or failing that, they could revolutionise the game. Either way, they'll be remembered!

If the Raiders draft Quinn, it'll be perfect. Perfectly stupid. The Brady Quinn everybody saw the other night is going to be the Brady Quinn in the pros; bad, bad, bad.

If I was making a staff of Coaches My GM/HC would be either Belichik or Shannahan; my OC would be Martz or Green, and my DC would be Baltimore's. Green can coach offense, but his defensive philosphy is score as manny points as possible so Defense doesn't matter. The Raiders will be without Moss and Porter (hopefully Moss will be in NE), so they will have A LOT of work to do with Doug Gabriel as their best WR.

Baltimore's defensive coordinator is Buddy Ryan's son Rex Ryan, his other son Rob is actually the Raider's defensive coordinator and he did a fine job this year. I think Rob Ryan should be the new head coach. The fact that he kept his defense playing at that level all year despite the ridiculous turnovers and overall horrendous play of the offense is a testament to his skill, plus he is already in house. Not only that but he turned unheralded players such as Nnamdi Asomugha into stars. Bring in Denny Green as offensive coordinator since he has expereince dealing with Randy Moss. Getting Shanahan or Belicek is not going to happen, plus an all-star coaching staff just wouldn't work, ask the Redskin's who, pun intended, have too many chiefs and not enough indians. Shanahan in particular is not going to Oakland because, well, they already had him, and they got rid of him and he and Al Davis hate each other's guts. Besides, New England and Denver respectively wouldn't give up those coaches for anything less than a kings ransom.

Saw today that John Shoop is considered a front-runner for the HC vacancy. All the Bears fans on here can tell you what an absolute disaster that would be for the Raiders. How he was ever given another shot at being an offensive coordinator after his ridiculous play calling for the Bears is amazing in its own right, but to be made a Head Coach?!?!?!?!? If that happens, everybody better hold on tight to something that's bolted down, cause the world will stop spinning.....
