Bargain basement coaches mean bargain basement performance. Not saying you have to hire a retread but everyone knows who the up and comers are and he was not on anyone's radar

Fun fact for the day:

Did you know that in John Madden's WORST season, the team was still 9-7??? For all of you young fellas, he was a heck of a coach before he became a video game icon!

wasn't too thrilled at first with the signing, but i am glad they chose a defensive minded coach. He did sort of change my thought about him after the press conference because he seemed fired up and talked discipline, which the Raiders haven't had much of in many years. I read somewhere he was up for the St. Louis job if Fisher would've gone to Miami. But with that said, i just hope the team can continue to get better and be competitive.
