Yeah, thats why C-wood was AP Defensive Rookie of the Year and the Pack was no 2 in defense , dumbf$%k .
____________________________________
1-Woodson is NOT a rookie.
2-He is also not a linebacker, so Moss hasn’t coached him.
3-The Pack may have been #2 in defense (until the playoffs), but very little of that was due to Moss.
You know nothing of what you’re talking about, yet you call people “dumbf$%k”. Hilarious.
You are already as dumb as your namesake, but if you honestly think Moss is HC material, you may actually be as dumb as Al. Way to represent the Nation there, douchebag..

Mr. Moss deserves a shot, he’s earned his stripes…

Token interview the Jim Fassell or another white retread will get the job. Davis was once great in football and civil rights. Too bad those days have faded into memory.

Just hire Mooch already, he WANTS the job! He wasn’t given a fair sahot with the Lions, and with Millen calling the shots, Bill Walsh coudn’t turn that team around. Hire Mooch!

Who knows, Winston Moss could finally be the guy that says,” All I will take the job BUT it is going to be my way and I want it in writing ” if not I stay in Green Bay with a team that could very well win it all next year. The next guy has nothing to lose by slapping Al upside the head and that should include Cable if heas any boys downstairs !

With current Raiders coach Tom Cable currently twisting slowly in the breeze like a side of beef hanging next to the primary cooling vent of a meat locker….
I don’t know if you need to take some creative writing classes, or stop taking creative writing classes, but you need to stop writing stuff like that. It scares me.

As a Denver fan, every day watching the Raider franchise is a holiday.
As a Raider fan, right back atcha, teddy. Watching your club go from 6-0 to getting whacked at home by the feeble and stupid Al Davis Raiders put a bit of a shine on another dreadful season. I don’t know which is better. This year’s Donkey collapse, or last year’s? Tough choice.

you people claiming that no one wants the job crack me up. maybe you don’t understand that there is only 32 such jobs in the world. That is a very elite group.
As bad as the raiders have been and as bad as al is running the team guys are in line to take this job.
now i did not say great or even qualified guys but guys are lined up none the less

Not exactly. there’s only one (1) job like this in the world and anyone who’s qualified isn’t interested unless they’re down and out, or grasping at something that is most likely over their head in which case they’re remotely or barely qualified.

Exactly. The poor guy will bear all the responsibility for the inevitable failure, after having no say in things like, say, his starting QB. Or draft picks. Anyone with decent credentials and experience wants no part of it, and anyone who thinks they want it just doesn’t understand what they are getting into.
Al should just be his own coach. That way, he’ll be forced to fire himself.

Exactly when did every position coach in the NFL become an assistant head coach???? Sounds like something The Danny woulda started.
As Florio would say “this troubles us…”

Why does the Rooney Rule need to be inserted into every single story by Florio? I don’t understand this obsession! I was already tired of hearing about it like 30 posts ago.

“Why? He obviously doesn’t know how to teach a middle linebacker how to drop back in passing situations. The middle of the field was wide open all day on Sunday. AJ Hawk’s career has flourished under his tutelage.”
Yeah, thats why C-wood was AP Defensive Rookie of the Year and the Pack was no 2 in defense , dumbf$%k .
RAIDER NATION!

So if the Raiders get Rooney Rule credit for a terrible hire they made over a decade ago, why don’t the Seahawks get credit for hiring Tom Flores, a hispanic, in 1992, at a time when there were no hispanic coaches in the NFL?

So now it’s Winston this week and the Raiders still have a HC. Last week it was Harbaugh. When it happens then report it other than that it’s just speculation which anyone can do.
My sources inside the Raiders that Fassel will be named HC…see it’s that easy.

Raiders HC: All the responsibility with none of the authority. A recipe for disaster if I ever saw one.
Anyone who actually wants this job needs to have a thorough psychological evaluation, because they clearly have something wrong upstairs.

Moss would of course be a fool not to take it. Much like Jim Zorn, when else has this guy even been mentioned, outside of the Raiders for HC position? No question that he should take it if offered to him. That being said, he will probably be fired for cause much like the rest of the former Raider coaches to come along.

Would all you haters just shut up already about no one wanting the job…any one of you would whack your left nut with a dull butter knife to make a few million dollars a year working for that old coot in the NFL.
Now get back to cleaning that toilet…and when you’re done, finish your shift at the drive through window.
