Who will be the new coach?

Here's my breakdown of the odds:

Rob Ryan: Even Money
James Lofton: 3:1
Tom Rathman: 9:1
Jim Fassel: 23:2
Denny Green: 19:1
Anyone with an established reputation as a good football coach: 99:1
Sarah Palin: 99:1

Thoughts???

Commitment to Excrement

OK, this is just about it. Is there any reason left to follow this excuse for an organization? What are we rooting for here? Legacy? This team has now officially been shitty for more years than it has been good. Their "glory days" are starting to look more and more like an anomaly for a team with an otherwise bad history. Maybe Al Davis never was a genius. Perhaps he just got lucky for a relatively short period of time. Hell, if I could be managing general partner for a team for 40+ years, I would have to string together a few good years, just by the nature of statistics and the draft system and NFL parity alone.

Al Davis is ruining his own legacy. It is looking more and more like the Raiders won in the 70s and 80s, not because of Al Davis, but in spite of him.

Dos Patches

Just a short from from Jim Ryder, (Stephanie's Uncle). His attempt at humor notwithstanding, he may be onto something here. Read on...

"As we look forward to a new football season and live with the hope that our teams will go all the way to the Super Bowl.

Rob, to make this season fully enjoyable and far less stressful, perhaps you should consider wearing two official Raider Eye Patches (one over each eye) instead of the customary one over the right eye, while watching those Raider's Play".

Sincerely,

Pride Poise & Excellence.
