Al Davis to Kiffin: Just Quit!!!

[KYPack]

That's one bitchin' comb-over Al's workin' there.

I bet Donnie Trump is way jealous

{ilr]3]Davis is the worst by far, but I view Jerry Jones and William Clay Ford in the same light. Just Crazy!

Other than the money, why would any coach want to work under these owners mentioned above?

[Partial]

Jerry Jones is a good owner. He will do whatever it takes to win.

So will Daniel Snyder.

The problem is they're in over their heads and often times let their mammoth ego get in the way.

Jones especially thinks he's some type of personnel guy and game strategist. I don't see them winning a Super Bowl again while he's there. He caught lightning in a bottle with the Jimmy Johnson hiring. Johnson was the reason for the success but Jones' ego tells him otherwise. Works for me.

The Raiders are Denying this story. FYI

Last year, they denied reports that Art Shell was about to be fired right up until it happened. So, we'll see.

If I were a coach, I would not want Jerry Jones as the owner. He micromanages too much. That includes making player personnel decisions which no owner should do.

[cheesner]

Would Denny actually take the job? Would anybody want to work for Al Davis?

crazy bastard working for a crazy bastard. Sounds like a great match.

Yeah, with him walking the sidelines while you are trying to direct your team, that can't be good.

Every time I read that an owner or GM is trying to control who the assistants are, it makes me cringe. Usually this is a sign of turmoil and uphappiness with the way the team is going. And it is usually the first step to a divorce. Even happened with Holmgren in Seattle I think.

But then something like the Rooney's happen: They hired Mike Tomlin, a defensive coordinator who ran the Tampa 2 to be their head coach. As a condition of their offer, he must keep Dick LaBeau as his D coordinator to run the 3-4, zone-blitzing, 11 angry men defense. And it seems to work out for them.

In football terms, keeping LaBeau might be like a movie producer telling you to keep Jessica Alba as your girlfriend if you want the part, but I still think its the exception that proves the rule.

I think winning the 4 games was quite an accomplishment - I had them in the running with Miami for an 0-16 season before the year began, especially after burning the #1 pick on a guy who decided not to contribute this year.

I wonder why he wanted to get rid of Ryan though? By all accounts a very good co-ord. I guess that's why Davis stepped in, but what a mess!
