It’s not his so he doesn’t want it. Well that’s a good reason. Fans will accept that. *dry sarcasim voice*

So if Reggie gets tied up in another meeting will his brother Raleigh take his place? You’d have to look pretty closely at their Super Bowl rings to tell the difference between the two.]

Reggie’s superbowl ring got stolen in 2009

====================

They were heading to L.A. the minute they traded for Carson Palmer.

========

because Davis really tried to reload every year, rather than trade down, stockpile picks and make prudent choices with free agents – particularly in 2005, 2007 and 2008. He then paid too much to average players , so they wouldn’t leave and no forceful, respected , dynamic coordinators could get anything done – lot of Sam Williams, and Michael Huff’s … a lot of athletes, with turned over staff and coordinators who had no idea to scheme them properly or build chemistry.

They’re trying to get out of a hole made up of 8 years of bad drafting, a no.1 overall bust, a lot of teasing-type talent, but no real continuity.

No place to go but up….hill

==============

Ever heard Belichick talk? He sounds like his lips are going through a cheese grater.

McKenzie is respected throughout the league.

What Hue did not factor in was how TERRIBLE his DC and defence was … what a shame. Sure Hue made some rookie coaching mistakes but give the guy a break it was his first season … nobody is perfect.

As for throwing his team under the bus … GOOD for him … he really should have released half of them (defence) after that game … seriously all season long Hue took the blame for the bad play of the team BUT enough is enough … he had the balls to finally throw them under the bus after 17 weeks.

How could he have expected to be retained when his hand-picked QB goes 4-5? He gambled everything on the pre-2006 Palmer to come in, not the pick machine observed by everyone in the NFL last season except Jackson.

The Raiders went from GM to (lots of) coaches (lots of) different QBs and then selling the barn for Palmer. I personally don’t care how the Raiders turn out I have no rooting intrest, but it sounds like they are going to need a bit of time.

So the Raiders are (I mean were) on the verge of being a serious contender and we blow up the team? Hue was hand-picked by Al and you couldn’t give him another year? I’m sure Al would be proud of you guys for taking us back to the drawing board. Way to respect your Dad, Mark – I’m sure you know more about football than Al did.

I’ve been a hard-core Raiders fan for 34 years and I am sick over this. Sorry Hue – hope you get a good gig elsewhere.

A new era of Raider football. Feels good.

Hue went 8 and 8 after starting 7 and 4, sorry but that does not cut it. Is this “Commitment to Excellence” or the Chargers Alex Spanos’ “Acceptance of Mediocrity”.

He has a legacy of being part of winning organizations, give the guy a chance. I am mad at Jackson on selling the organization on a long shot bet (Palmer) and risking the franchise on it.

If anyone would have thought bringing in a retired Carson Palmer and having him turn around the season without much practice is either crazy, dumb, taking something, or all three.

It is going to be a lean two to three years because of this, thanks Hue!

If Hue Jackson ever spoke next to one of these two you would think Jackson was Einstein next to these two Slow Pokes.

Take your Cheese Head way and shove it, this long, long time Raider Fan and Family along with all the money we spend on 10 Season Tickets, Travel to Home games from Vegas, Motels and Gear are gone.

The Raiders have DIED to us with Al Davis, Al Davis was rolling over in his GRAVE TODAY.

So basically you drove over from another state to watch the Raiders be mediocre at best for over a decade..now when they bring in a guy from the defending Super Bowl Champions and possibly the best team in football you want to give up season tickets before you have even see the job he can do? Typical

Oakland will not only get better decision makers but they will also get an infusion of professionalism, organization & class ……

I just hope this isn’t the beginning of the west coast offence era in Oakland.

Am I mistaken or is this the Reggie McKenzie who was a guard for the Buffalo Bills or was he a Raiders linebacker as the article indicates?
=============================

His brother Raleigh was a member of the Hogs for the Redskins back in the 80s. He had a few other NFL stops but Buffalo wasn’t one.

Reggie was a Raider LB as a player.

Or they could both negotiate with two different player agents at the same time. The possibilities are endless….

7, yes.

they did lose 8+ games for 9 straight years.

When there’s a new GM, there almost has to be a clean house for it to work. The Raiders need organizational change from the top on down and there needs to be coaches in place that will get with the new program. People say Winston Moss has the makeup to be a head coach and that looks like a good formula for success… in 2 years when they get some draft picks. Thanks, Hue.
