The Raiders are really considering firing their coach?

Posted by Dano (aka dano) Jan 2 '11, 16:30

They have their first non losing record since 2002.
That's after starting 1-3 (and they likely would have won those 3 games had they played those teams late in the season.)
They went undefeated in their division.

If that's not a team heading in the right direction, I don't know what is.

Al Davis probably thinks he can get Jim Harbaugh. - David Jan 2, 16:31 24
- There is going to be a bidding war in the Bay Area - amoxy Jan 2, 16:35 23
  - Watch out for Denver. Our new VP is planning on talking to him at the Orange Bowl tomorrow night. -- nm - Jim Jan 2, 16:57 7
    - Dude, I know that you need a new head coach, but it's third and ten right now and I have to call a play. -- nm - Jim Harbaugh Jan 2, 17:00 6
      - come on Jim... don't you want to come run the triple option with Tom Treebow! -- nm - stewie Jan 2, 17:44 5
        
        I love the Tebow haters. Dude has done nothing but won his entire football career. - Jim Jan 2, 18:01 4
        
        I love the Orton haters. Dude has done nothing but won his entire football career. - BroncoBot 2009 Jan 2, 18:27 1
        
        Yeah, Orton's won at every level except high school, college and the pros. nm - Jim Jan 2, 18:38
        
        find me something stewie doesn't hate on. -- nm - TFox Jan 2, 18:04 1
        
        Donovan McNabb? nm - Jim Jan 2, 18:06
  - He seems overhyped at this point - stewie Jan 2, 16:39 12
    - Kim and I were talking about this. He's got coaching bloodlines, played in the league for 15 years and has now had a spectacular run in college. - David Jan 2, 17:06 10
      - spectacular run in college? 4 years w/ 2 under .500 then 8-5 and 11-1 with the #1 pick... - stewie Jan 2, 17:19 8
        
        He inherited a 1 win team. We had a similar discussion a couple of years ago about Cutcliffe. 19-6 at Stanford is more impressive... - David Jan 2, 17:27 2
        
        It sounds like we agree that he's overhyped - stewie Jan 2, 17:38 1
        
        Unless we're talking about a coach who has taken a team to a Super Bowl, he doesn't deserve to have five teams chasing him. - David Jan 2, 17:51
        
        It's as if David is the red cape and you're the bull. -- nm - Jim Jan 2, 17:21 4
        
        seriously stewie. david knows his football stuff -- (link) - new years pixie Jan 2, 17:25 [Backboard] 3
        
        I'm amused you brought this up since you of all people know it would have gone another way if the Houston game had gone the way it almost did. - David Jan 2, 17:30 2
        
        now tell us exactly how our postseason's going to go! -- nm - new years pixie Jan 2, 17:31 1
        
        Unfortunately for you guys, all of the AFC teams but the Jets can pass. -- nm - David Jan 2, 17:33
      - Word. -- nm - Jim Jan 2, 17:08
    - Hey successful college coaches always carry their successes to the NFL......oh -- nm - Beaker: Caveman Champion Jan 2, 16:40
  - I'll be curious to see if he's more interested in the pros or Michigan. -- nm - David Jan 2, 16:36 1
    - I would think Michigan is the odds on favorite though. -- nm - Jim Jan 2, 16:58
