Del Rio fired.

Wow, that's nuts. 1 year off what looked like super bowl contention.

 

[DJ]

Mark is just as retarded as Al was at the end.

Gruden last won a playoff game in 2001, his replacement Bill Callahan took the Raiders to the Super Bowl which Gruden couldn’t with the Raiders

Callahan inherited Gruden's team and never was a HC again.

 

[Mondo Jay]

I'd be concerned as a Raiders fan, based on the reports he plans to hire Rich Gannon and a bunch of other lackeys who lack coaching experience.

Raider fans should always be concerned.

wow…^ the apple fell far from the tree i see.

Bummed the Raiders couldn't make the playoffs this season but the future is bright for this team. It would be cool if Gruden could become coach but he has been out of the game for so long I wouldn't be surprised if he was rusty.

oh well...

 

[Inquisitor95]

Well it will soon not be Oakland's problem any more.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

This is unbelievable! You fire a guy who brought this franchise back from the dead in 2-3 seasons, all because he had his first dissappointing year? Really? The Al Davis spirit lives.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

This guy just had this team as a super bowl contender last year.

Gruden should stay retired. Oakland is a dumpster fire and he can only hurt his legacy/reputation.

Plus he is a solid coach and I am a Denver fan...

He had better supply the goods or he will for sure wish he'd stayed in the booth.

Yeah but....

He did whoop them (the Raiders) with Tony Dungy's team.....

Camel toe?

[Ojb81]

i bet he pays at least $100+ for his haircuts

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

Hiring a guy that has been out of the league for 10+ years and wasn't exactly keeping up with the game's evolution during his later years? What could possibly go wrong?

Two schools of thought:
1)You can't go home again (jimmy johnson)
2)Time in the booth helps (Dick Vermeil)

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

This is great news! I need a job!
