Jakobi Meyers was able to bail out of Raiders hell. Bowers and Jeanty are stuck there for contractual obligations but now they have a little hope.

Professional football coaching is not a very old man’s game.

Pete may be having a bad day, but he is not expreiencing the agony that the Raven’s kicker feels today.

What really sunk Pete Carroll was his bravado that declared we are going to “win now” and brought in Geno “INT” Smith and his kid as the offensive line coach. Well, the offensive line was truly “offensive” and regressed from the previous year which led to Geno crapping the bed at QB. Then, when the season is pretty over after 9 or so games, decides to keep playing his favorite vets instead of pivoting to give younger players more playing time and evaluation time. Screwed up all the way around.

As I once heard someone say when they were the El Segundo Raiders, “It’s a good thing they’re committed to excellence. Image how bad they would be if they weren’t.”

Fortunately for them, the pay for one year of head coaching is usually more than most people make in a lifetime.

And that’s why I’ll be applying for Pete Carroll‘s job. And I think I’ve got a shot. Because I’ll tell the Raiders that I’ll be bringing along three experts as assistant coaches.

2026-the Raiders have $100 million in cap space + the #1 draft pick. Trade DE Crosby for a couple #1’s and they’ll be on their way up.

The problem is Mark Davis running things. Will Tom Brady have any say in personnel decisions?

He shouldn’t be running anything with his history of lying and cheating he started when he was forced to resign at USC and the follow up harmed upcoming athletes stopping some from getting scholarships to the university for an education.
