I think the Al Davis-Lane Kiffin-Rob Ryan relationship showed why you let a coach bring in his people. You bring in people to complement your strategy or compensate for a weak point in your style. How do you think an OC or DC is going to feel if weeks after they are hired a coach is brought in that is going to call the plays? It's backwards any way you look at it, the team starts with the coach, everything needs to them complement that. All the offensive and defensive philosophies... Davis might bring in a 3-4 DC, pair him with a 4-3 defensive minded coach while you have a 46 type of personnel group. Without knowing what the HC is going to bring to the table, I don't see how you can properly hire the rest of the staff under almost any circumstances..
I like the idea of uou have all your coaches lined up and then you hire your HD according to what has been already been hired to lead your specific areas of your team.
But according to who? Have you ever been a head football coach? I like the idea of uou have all your coaches lined up and then you hire your HD according to what has been already been hired to lead your specific areas of your team. Hey, it could work...no on has ever done it from what I can remember. NOT gonna knock it because it is not the traditional way of hiring your coaching staff.
from the article said:"When it's all done, there will be a very detailed explanation as to why we are moving the way we are. We're connecting the dots and we're doing things the right way.
"This is a very well-thought-out, reasoned game plan."
Are his initials MM?
If 'have you ever been a HC' is all you have to argue against putting the cart before the horse you need to step away from the kool-aid and look at it a little more objectively.
Here's an article about it... they supposeldy 'have a plan' - Raiders believe they have a plan / No head coach, but plenty of staff moves
You're a Raiders fan, what do you see happening? If it's Cable why isn't he already officially the coach?
Can't wait to see/hear this... wonder if a bed and breakfast is involved this time. Just don't see how you can blindly defend it is all.
No offense Salsa, but if I was offered a job with that organization, despite the probable pay raise I'd receive, I still wouldn't accept it.
Not me, I'll take the job anytime. HUGE pay raise over what I'm making now. BTW, Matt, I think SabresRule may have been referring to Matt Millen.
My opinion of you just dropped drastically. You've got a lot to answer for!

Don't hate. I was just collecting a check like the rest of Detroit.
Kidding, kidding.....
Well , not the rest of Detroit. Most of us are unemployed, the rest work as hard as anybody if not harder. Millen was "phoning it in", Inow believe that Ford is a lot more meddling than the rest of the nation believes.
I apologize about the "collecting a check" comment. I am well aware of the current state of the economy and the job market out there. My wife was unemployed for a while a year ago and it was tough. Sad attempt at humor on my part.
Matt, no offense taken. Matt Millen brings out the worst in me. I should be the one to apologize here, I didn't think you were being mean, but my post came off that way.
PC? Yeah, I got one of those, all I can figure out to do with it, is post here.
really paul? come on now. there's not one more thing you can do with it?:devil:

Actually, the reason why I'm not too "PC" is prolly because I'm a MAC!
