That's why I'm lobbying for Gruden! I demand a handsome coach.
hell of a neck on that guy

Moss played on the Raiders from '91-'94, during the original Art Shell era.

I just saw that on wiki

I dont think the "rule of bald coaches" applies to black guys

I was mostly joking frog bullshit

For all the talk that the Raiders had the most penalties in 2011, Baltimore and Detroit (and Washington) had more penalty yards.

well I was 100% serious. look at Tony Dungy for CHRISTS SAKE
― frogbs, Tuesday, 10 January 2012 20:06 (twelve years ago) link
Tony Dungy is bald, right? I can never tell whats going on on that head
He's bald, yeah. He was already starting to go when the Bucs hired him.
― polyphonic, Tuesday, 10 January 2012 20:08 (twelve years ago) link
Dungy was another bald guy who was smart enough to wear a hat though.

Not this guy, though:

i do like the idea of the raiders gm firing hue out of spite for not allowing him to draft anyone in the first three rounds
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 10 January 2012 20:10 (twelve years ago) link
Belichick is developing quite a bald spot of his own, thus making the Patriots seem overall less dominant.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 10 January 2012 20:11 (twelve years ago) link
Art Shell wore that tiny baseball cap, dude shoulda rocked the bald look
― Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 10 January 2012 20:11 (twelve years ago) link
Hue wasn't actually bald though was he? He's "bald by choice", right?
― frogbs, Tuesday, 10 January 2012 20:11 (twelve years ago) link
No one with a lustrous head of hair would go bald by choice, come on.

Gardening accident iirc

I have a secondary theory/caveat that fat people shouldn't wear hats.
― polyphonic, Tuesday, 10 January 2012 20:22 (twelve years ago) link
That is a good theory/caveat
― Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 10 January 2012 20:26 (twelve years ago) link
Proof 1: I look terrible in hats.

That's probably because so many of the Raiders' penalties were probably declined, which is much worse.
― You're a notch, I'm a legend (Bill Magill), Tuesday, 10 January 2012 21:25 (twelve years ago) link
I don't know why you'd assume that the Raiders had more penalties declined than those other teams. I mean, it wouldn't surprise me but it seems unsupportable.
― polyphonic, Tuesday, 10 January 2012 21:28 (twelve years ago) link
prob just means that the raiders had lots of pre-snap penalties than those other two teams -- not sure if that's better or worse or if it doesn't matter
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 10 January 2012 21:29 (twelve years ago) link
its definitely worse if they had a lot of declined penalties, it means that they fucked the play up they got penalized on.
― You're a notch, I'm a legend (Bill Magill), Tuesday, 10 January 2012 21:33 (twelve years ago) link
sucks that individual penalties aren't tracked except for offensive line penalties
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 10 January 2012 23:16 (twelve years ago) link
dude, this is the internet. Somebody somewhere is keeping track.
― Beezow Doo Doo Zopittybop-Bop Bop (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 11 January 2012 00:55 (twelve years ago) link
let me know if you find it!
it's not in nfl game books so it could only be tracked by watching every game.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 01:12 (twelve years ago) link
I mean, shit, some Pearl Jam fan tracked every concert and made a statistical analysis of how many times each song in their catalog has been played live. If that dude's doing THAT, someone is tracking NFL penalties. They HAVE to be. Too many shut-ins in the world for it not to be happening.
― Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 11 January 2012 01:17 (twelve years ago) link
though a cursory google check doesn't show anything immediatenow i'm curious about this.

The rise and fall of Hue Jackson is so fascinating to me. He goes from OC to head coach, and then in the wake of Davis' death he decides to assume complete control of the franchise by making a crazy-ass trade for a retired QB.
Then when things spun out of control the guy lost his fucking mind.
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 06:55 (twelve years ago) link
There was literally 10 days of a power vacuum for Jackson to make trades with no GM in place before the trade deadline and the guy decides to go all in with the wackiest and ballsiest trade in years.
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 06:57 (twelve years ago) link
He's a great play caller though; the Dolphins should hire him for OC.
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 06:58 (twelve years ago) link
He might even be a good head coach! But he is not a GM, that's for sure.
― polyphonic, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 07:19 (twelve years ago) link
sooooooo
schottenheimer jr out, sparano in? does it seem like every decision the jets make under rexy is geared towards making that franchise more of a carnival? next thru the door: favre at qb and one of tiki barber, curtis martin or oj at rb
― Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 13:00 (twelve years ago) link
no one tops the jets at eating their own:

If Peyton were to go to the Jets, NYC would be Manningville!
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 15:21 (twelve years ago) link
But as much as I'd love that, I'd hate it. I never NEVER want to see the Jets do well as long as Rex is coaching.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 15:22 (twelve years ago) link
the jets hiring sporano is so incredibly baffling to me
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 11 January 2012 15:43 (twelve years ago) link
i mean i like the guy and think he was actually a half-decent head coach, but the dolphins offenses were never particularly good. idk seems incredibly hasty.
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 11 January 2012 15:45 (twelve years ago) link
have we already had the conversation about how Hue Jackson's first name is spelled
― Bam! Orgasm explosion in your facehole. (DJP), Wednesday, 11 January 2012 15:46 (twelve years ago) link
like, in mark sanchez's make or break year as a new york jet, who hasn't been an offensive coordinator since 1993 when he was calling plays for fucking BU
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 11 January 2012 15:48 (twelve years ago) link
you a hire guy who hasn't been etc etc**
everything seems to suggest that theyre going to hire someone else for the passing game. because what they really need is MORE coaches.
