Comments on: Dennis Allen to get second interview with Raiders http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/01/23/dennis-allen-to-get-second-interview-with-raiders/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Thu, 23 May 2013 14:41:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: thetruth619 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/01/23/dennis-allen-to-get-second-interview-with-raiders/#comment-1535353 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 21:51:09 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=181256#comment-1535353 This could be a very good hire. Our defense has a ton of potential. It would be nice to hire a defensive minded guy. Plus, everyone is just talking about his work with the Donkeys. Don’t forget what he did as the Saints secondary coach in 2009.

He’s young, hungry, and a pretty darn good coordinator. He’s got that Gruden feel to him. Hopefully he gets hired I would like to see what he can do.

This was my first reaction too. But then I realized that it’s tough to play defense for 47 minutes against the NFLs best QB.

The Broncos had a good defense, but when you have a QB that completes 8 passes a game and they go 3-and-out 12 times out of 15 possessions, that’s when you realize that Broncos D responded under extreme pressure!

We can keep Al Saunders as OC. The Denver defense played well, so this guy must know what he’s doing……….and most of all, he’s not Marty friggin Mornhingweg.

If Allen accepts a head coaching job with the Raiders, then I will know we really didn’t lose much. Why? Because anyone who accepts that revolving door and soap opera can’t be too smart. It’s career suicide. McCoy at least had some standards he wouldn’t dip below (cancelled his trip for Miami). Our defense improved, but it went from bottom of the pack to middle of the pack. Our turnover ratio was still crappy and our pass defense was atrocious. Granted our talent is still very thin on the defensive side, but I didn’t see a significant, positive impact by the coaching staff.

Not that I’m complaining, but it’s interesting there has been no mention of it this season with all the shuffling, and a number of black coaches losing their job.

I haven’t heard of any mention of black candidates, though Romeo Crennel was escalated to the full-time position. I don’t think that would have qualified anyways because it was an internal hire.

Did something change? Again, I’m not complaining. I think the rule has outlived its applicability.

u cant sell this guy to the fan base,

and expect to put ppl in the seats,

marty, winston,

gruden hail mary,

& thats it.

u dont fire hue jackson , an offensive mind who had the offense respectable the past 2 seasons for a defensive coach that tom brady just torched 2 weeks ago for 6 tds,

if u want defense u go with Capers possibly, or winston,

to bring in the broncos d-coordinator as a raiders head coach , no way, its not gonna happen.

Reggie Mac doesn’t seem so ready with “his guy” as he led us all to believe.

He can call a good game. It would be interesting to see who he would choose as a dc and as oc.

As a Vikings fan, I as hoping that McKenzie would gut and pillage the Packers front office / coaching staff as much as possible.
