It's easy, and only takes a few moments.disagree. the coach is an authority figure with the players' ability to fight back potentially limited by intimidation and fear of retaliation, among other factors. when players fight it's a case of two equals where the exogenous cost to each side is the same, beyond whatever damage they suffer in the fight.
So then since the Patriots in house media people are part of the "team" Belichick can force Kristina Akra to run laps naked, right?
I think that the only way the Raiders are going to start the road back from their state of chaos is when Al Davis dies.
Unfortunately, the only way that will ever happen is if someone can locate the contract that Davis signed with the Prince of Darkness to sell his soul for a few decades more of life, and tear it up.
Until then, Oakland will remain one of the many California Gates of Hell.
I wouldn't wish that on someone...he is 80 years old so maybe he might lay off the team in a couple of years. Hopefully when he does his son will know that he needs to get someone in there who actually is in tune with the modern game.
It was comedy noir. there's been a rumour for the last 10 years or so out in Oakland that Al sold his soul to the Devil in order to stick around longer. Take a good look at a recent pic of him and you might agree..

Very simple? You tell me how it is "very simple" to convince Cowher or Parcells to go to the Raiders. Shannahan? You realize that Davis did not pay Shannahan the remainder of his contract after he was fired, right? You got a meddling owner who will not honor a contract. It is not only NOT "very simple" to get a good, proven head coach, it is damn near impossible.
