NFL PING

FReepmail scott says to be added to, or to be taken off the NFL Ping list... This is a fairly high volume ping list

Does age have anything to do with it? Seems like coaches in their 40s and 50s are better. I’m probably incredibly naive here... just a thought.

[Soliton]

What took him so long?

[Rummyfan]

Who will be the new Raiders coach? Art Shell (for the third time)? Kenny Stabler? Barry Switzer (he won a Super Bowl in Dallas!)?

[Yossarian]

Meanwhile, Matt Millen keeps rolling along...

[Dr. Ursus]

I’ve read Millen likes the wide reciever from USC!

[phothus]

Good for Kiffin. He’s wanted out since Davis refused to fire Ryan as the defensive coordinator and refused to give him as much control over player personnel as he wanted. Davis wanted him to quit so he didn’t have to pay him. If Davis fires him, Kiffin gets the money and gets to go get another job.

My guess is that Lofton may be the new HC. As much as people hated Shell, he had a great draft and signed a number of excellent UDFA’s for the team (some of which were let get when trying to change the systems). I think Davis liked what Shottenheimer did (while Lofton was there) at SD, and Lofton seems willing to work with Al. But, who knows!

I don’t know which would be worse...to work for Al Davis or Matt Millen.

[rintense]

Fire Matt Millen!!!!

[newfreep]

FIRE Marvin Lewis!!!

FIRE Mike Brown!!!!

[Boiling Pots]

Al Davis is a senile old coot.

[PurpleMan]

Available coaches:

Steve Mariucci
Jim Fassel
Brian Billick
Marty Schottenheimer
Dom Capers

[Rummyfan]

Of those named, I’d say four of them would not be willing to work for Davis. Capers maybe.

[JZelle]

FIRE Brad Childress!

[NCC-1701]

Geeesh, there's less job security working for Al Davis than there is working for Jerry Jones.

Oh, & BTW:

Back to the junior college staff lane

Anyone who would go coach the Raiders after this fiasco is either an idiot or desperate. Rob Ryans’ defense lost the game yesterday, the same Rob Ryan Kiffen wanted to replace in the off season but Davis wouldn’t let him. Now Davis is going to make Ryan his head coach. What a maroon.MGM

[martin_fierro]

That’s an insult to senile old coots everywhere.

[GOP_Raider]

I can’t say I disagree with Mr. Davis here, I blamed the coaching staff in general after yesterday’s game, particularly our final drive and the poor clock management. Oh, well...
