Speculation: McDaniels to the Raiders nearly done. [Confirmed DONE1/31/22]


BioMed engineering. I guess VT has a great undergrad/grad program. Still researching.

Plenty of great schools up here for that but she does not like MA. Since we are getting 2ft of snow I can't imagine why...
UCSD
Bioinformatics school. Top ranked. Granddaughter a fresh person (Heh!) there.
Gorgeous campus.
 
Bill the GM likes to hire nobody's from within so I'm guessing it'll be the WR coach Mike Lombardi's kid, Lombardi carries Bill's water in the media btw ...or the TE coach, whoever they F that is. maybe he hires his daughter to complete the nepotism....
But I seriously want Charlie Weis back
The OC always gets criticized. Weiss and McDaniels were criticized for the same things. No one will ever be happy. Just accept the wins.
 
For all the hand wringing over McD, I think we are really going to miss him next season. He was superb for Mac.
 
Why? I know he was over the top against McDaniels but I never noticed him getting personal with other posters but then again I am not on all the threads either.
Seriously? Did you not read his posts, particularly his consistent insult barrage at BCG or attacks on Robert weathers. The guys standard response to anyone disagreeing with him was a personal insult.

The hand wringing was just people who will rip the OC no matter who the OC is. They will be back to attack the next guy. Anyone with any knowledge of football could have critiques, but would agree McDaniels was one of the best OCs in the NFL.
 
If he does go then it will cause problems. I hope they have some kind of succession plan or process. I guess the only good thing is that it could happen sooner rather than later so there will be time to re-org for 2022.
 
Daboll is the Giants new head coach.
You don't say? Guess you didn't realize that the post you responded to was 6 hours old..

BTW, Daboll wasn't a FA. He get's a promotion by taking the Giants HC job. That's why he's able to leave the Bills despite being under contract.
 
Bring back Tom Brady. He could start as QB coach under the new OC, Brian Hoyer.
That would be REALLY outside the box. And a surprising change of heart by Hoyer, who has said several times in the past he has no interest in coaching.
 
If he does leave I hope the new guy (whomever that is ) knows how to use two tight ends. I like MCD, but not using Jonnu correctly was my pet peeve this year !
I think he did use him correctly, correctly being not very much
Perhaps Smith will figure it out in year 2 but in year 1 he sucked and more Smith would not have made things better.
 
This is a mistake for Josh IMO for one reason. The city of Las Vegas.

The first year the Raiders moved both number one picks go bad. One of them despite being a Chief was arrested again this week , in Las Vegas.

It gets in rich young people's blood. It's almost impossible to prevent the influence.

I don’t think it was a coincidence that we used 2 TE sets the most in week 1, then we started hearing rumors of Smith having issues learning the offense, then Smith had the disaster game against the Saints, and then we barely saw him again the rest of the season outside of screens and sweeps. This isn’t a Patriots didn’t use him correctly problem, this is a Smith didn’t get it problem, and unfortunately he’s trending to be a major bust signing.

He can turn it around. They clearly saw him as on the verge of breaking out so a turnaround in year 2 isn’t crazy.
Also remember when he, Henry and the WRs were signed we didn’t know who the QB would be so his role could have changed from what was originally anticipated.
The wrong thing to do is play a guy you shouldn’t be playing because you don’t want to accept you were wrong
