hue mortgaged the future, pretending to do a gm job he wasnt ready for.

then he didnt win 2 of the last 5 games, again pretending to do a job he had, but also wasnt ready for.

their motto is ‘just win, baby’.

As a side note…most Raider fans need to put down the silver paint and the Lady Gaga outfits and move on to better things. To the rest of the nation and the football world, you all look like you’re auditioning for Mad Max 2012. Enough already.

I see fans of every team dressed up in absurd costumes. Raider fans do it better than everyone else, but it seems only Raider fans get mocked for it. It’s not like we show up with giants blocks of foam cheese on our heads.

I don’t understand why people are making fun of Hue Jackson and saying he’s stupid for saying what he said. The reality is he didn’t want to be a puppet, even if that meant leaving his head coaching spot at Oakland. I know it’s hard to believe in this day and age, but sometimes people put their principles and happiness above money and fame. Good for him.

People might not like Hue Jackson but he will win a championship one day.

First he loses his top QB and really has no one behind him ready to play. Thats a coaching problem.

Then he gets a quality, albeit rusty QB, and can’t win with him either. Another coaching problem.

I mean if we transfer Aaron Rogers to the team and then they can finally win does he get all the credit for being a great coach?
Great coaches find a way to win under diverse conditions and this guy couldn’t do it. He lips off to top management and blaimes who for the loss?
The team, your team not the owners or GM but your team was 8-8. Accept it.

Who knew Hue was a fan of the Latin phrase carpe diem? The old man finally checks out, of which I’m fairly certain there was a consensus that needed to happen before the Raiders had a chance at their former glory. He recognized a situation and he made his move, you gotta give him props for the cojones that takes from where he was sitting. Mark better hope Madden and Wolf didn’t step on theirs by this recommendation. How much input does Madden have? Been a lot a dudes been around a lot more football then Madden, sure he has one of the highest winning percentages but so do the guys before and after him.

i don’t know…with they way Hue acts and speak – just a thought but I think Hue’s a perfect candidate to move on from the NFL and into the WWF…it’s been done before successfully!!

I wonder which head coach the Raiders will fire next year?
__________________________________

There won’t be one fired for awhile. The Raiders will now move on and improve to be a very good team under McKenzie. RM was probably the best fit for the Raiders and he’s one of the most respected football guys across the league, even since his playing days.

This team should improve immediately, depending on the direction they go with QB and RB issues, but at the very least, I can assure you that the Raiders of 2012 will NOT be the most penalized team in the league again.

Also would not be surprised to see another Packer coach or assistant in LA before long…I’ve heard Moss rumors or even Capers as the HC.

i just didn’t appreciate his constent reference to Davis in every press conference.As if he was given a secret message before Al passed. Power corrupts if no checks are in place in any level of an organization
I guess Reggie became that “check”.

I’m just grateful that Hue was dumb enough to say these words to Mike Brown and Marvin Lewis: “The Raiders will give a 1st and second round pick for Carson Palmer” Makes Hue a hero in my book.

It makes no sense to fire a coach after one year.

way too much power. way too fast. for a guy with too big an ego to begin with. he needs to go back to being a QB coach and then an OC and working his way back up into the “wants to be a HC’ line.

Welcome back to Bmore. Flacco has missed ya.

Fitting….
He talked his way into the job, now he’s talked his way out of the job.

He’s all talk. And probably about finished in the NFL. Too much BS, nothing to back it up.

So, Richard Seymour – how’s that working out for you? Another new head coach; and, another year without a playoff appearance.

Cue the Pats haters…

Do you think there’s a sign above the door to the coach’s office there in Raiderville which reads: Abondon Hope All Ye Who Enter.

Maybe with a cute little pirate guy voicing the words?

Karma at it’s finest. You think John Madden was going to sit around and allow this clown to take shots at his best friend whom he recently buried? Think again Hue. Next time know who you’re ______ with.

When will you guys learn. It wasn’t for two 1st rd picks. It’s a 1st this yr and a 2nd next year. The 2013 pick becomes a 1st if Raiders make it to AFC championship game this year or next.

I like Hue. I think he is a very good offensive mind. The Raiders offense was down right pathetic before he came on board. And it was HIM and not Cable that got the Raiders back to .500.

However somewhere (probably around the time Al passed) that the power went straight to his head and it blow up in his face.

Hue-bris is really accurate.

well one has to wonder why a rookie coach would not stick to coaching…his head got to big for the job. He is a good coach, and is a good OC…..

Hey Hue, come to Kansas City, beat our arch nemesis and your old team in one feld swoop, were looking for a OC TO complement RAC, we could use that passion here. Come to Kc and get ready to take us back to a afc west div championship and a Superbowl. You guy’s together would be a helluva braintrust.

Pretty sure Hue knew as soon as Reggie was hired that he was gone. I’ll bet he felt the chill from above ever since his presser.

I don’t remember hearing him be such a loose cannon here in Baltimore. But he was just a qb coach then. I guess power brings out the worst in some people.
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Well QB coaches rarely if ever are made available to the media for interviews so that’s not surprising. No one ever heard a word from Rex Ryan in Balt either until he left for a HC gig.

The idiotic trade for Carson Palmer is what did Hue Jackson in. It proved he didn’t know what he was doing personnel wise, and has handcuffed the team from bringing in more talent that it needs.

What’s more, I think all the publicity Jackson got from that locker room speech after Al Davis died went to his head, and made him think he was more important than he was

By: jakethegrift

First, it is not surprising that he was fired. I would have given Hue at least 1 more year, but with conditions. He would either take it or leave it. Second, the franchise is a business, and every organization practicing as such needs structure. The Oakland Raiders are thinking about properly structuring the organization and establishing a chain of command. Jackson wanted to pull the strings, and unfortunately had his cut. GO RAIDER NATION!!!!!!!!!!

I’m going out on a limb here…..but we forgot someone that really knows the game, played the game very well , is a sure lock for the HOF and will bring in lots of fannies into the stadium!!

Now don’t fall down….Brett Farve!
