Justin Sullivan/Getty Images- New Oakland head Oakland Raiders Coach Dennis Allen says the team has a lot of young talent to develop.
Fr. Story:
" Reggie ( Mckenzie) and I are going to work together to do it the way we want to do it, and put the best team out on the field we can put out there. You have to embrace the tradition of the Raiders and what Mr. Davis was able to build there.
But at the same time, Reggie and I have to do it our way. We’re committed to doing that.
Reggie’s done an outstanding job since he’s been there, of putting his own stamp on the organization. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to work with the players and putting my stamp on the team.” Dennis Allen
Bill Willianson: "I love the handle Allen and McKenzie have on this deal. They know the history (McKenzie is a former Raiders player), but they also know they need to be in charge of taking this team in their own direction in the post-Al Davis world. I think they are approaching it the right way."
On Oakland general manager Reggie McKenzie:
“What you find out about Reggie, he does let the process play out. He’s not going to be swayed in any way by public perception. He’s going to do what he thinks is right for himself, for the organization, and he’s not really going to look back.” Dennis Allen
Bill Williamson: "Allen nailed it. Every time I’ve been around McKenzie (dating back 13 years ago in Green Bay), he appeared never to have a worry in the world. He is approaching this job with a calmness that only should help the Oakland organization. "
