Califan007 The Constipated Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Wow. Will be on their 3rd head coach in the last three years. Campbell might be dropped as well...this will be interesting to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiro Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 http://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/statuses/156807583573884928Raiders fired Hue Jackson. More on ESPN. After all the things I've been reading about player/organization discontent with him, I'm not surprised. Plus, he's responsible for giving up a king's ransom for Carson Palmer.

Conn Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 What a ****ing fiasco that team is. And people thought it would stop, or at least slow down, now that Al Davis has passed. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Wow, pretty surprising. He may not be that good of a coach but he had them playing pretty well. That franchise is just a cluster**** of fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That franchise is just a cluster**** of fail. They weren't playing well down the stretch. They lost 4 of their last 5 games, with the lone win coming against KC by a field goal. They were also blown out by Miami. If Al Davis was alive, maybe Jackson keeps his job. Course, if Al was alive, I don't think he trades for Carson Palmer either. He's made some wild trades, but I don't think he makes that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably would have waited to see if Orton/DMc hit the waiver wire and rolled with Boller in the meantime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufus T Firefly Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I don't know why McKenzie took that GM position, not a very attractive job. So much of their talent is old, their married to a mediocre QB, they have no draft pciks until the 5th this year, and have already given away picks for 2013. Gonna be hard getting that ship righted before he runs out of time on that contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, they have no draft picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, they have no draft picks. They do have a lot of young talent. I am envious of their WR corps, actually. But they have old talent in key spots. Their DTs are the strength of the defense, and that's three older guys. Palmer at QB. Cooper Carlisle is one of their best OL. Even that great kicking game is two old guys. And then you have Darren McFadden, who is obviously nowhere near old, but has so much trouble staying healthy that he might as well be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
