didn't jackson go off the deep and say something about how now that al is dead he runs the raiders? tbh, everyone tainted by signing off on that carson palmer trade needs to be dropped in the shark tank

I had no problem with him as head coach. Raiders under Hue were the closest thing to a team they've been in 10 years & the fact that there was even playoff *talk* was partly due to him.
― Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 10 January 2012 18:54 (twelve years ago) link
the carson trade was batty but that team is going in the right direction imo
i mean they certainly could hire a better coach, but they also could not

Just curious: Did you guys watch the last half of the season at all?
― polyphonic, Tuesday, 10 January 2012 18:56 (twelve years ago) link
Yep. But can we have a fucking coach for more than 2 seasons, just to SEE what that's like? Breznahan was a bigger problem than Jackson, surely.
― Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 10 January 2012 18:58 (twelve years ago) link
The bit at the end of the season where he said that he could finally admit that his players played like shit was very telling. The dude is kind of Singletary-esque.
The penalties this season were out of control. The talent was getting better, not the culture.
― polyphonic, Tuesday, 10 January 2012 18:59 (twelve years ago) link
He was not even close to Singletaryesqueness, imo
― Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 10 January 2012 19:01 (twelve years ago) link
hue's a solid coach but he seemed to be going mad with power. better to start fresh, the new GM seems to have a good background and im sure they can find someone
― maghrib is back (Hungry4Ass), Tuesday, 10 January 2012 19:02 (twelve years ago) link
Breznahan was a bigger problem than Jackson, surely.
And he's also gone. McKenzie is going to get this right if Mark Davis and Herrera don't undermine him.

Their blackness is irrelevant to me. Tom Cable was also a clown. Singletary did some very good things with the 49ers and so did Jackson with the Raiders. But neither are head coaches imo

tom cable was a wife-beating clown iirc
― horseshoe, Tuesday, 10 January 2012 19:07 (twelve years ago) link
The 49ers defense is what it is today because of Singletary. Similarly Jackson did a good job of modernizing the Raiders offense.

Chuck Knox was smart enough to start wearing a hat when he was going bald. Possibly added a decade to his career.

Landry also was wise enough to wear a hat to maintain respect of team.

i am just repeating what i have read elsewhere, but supposedly kolb isn't bad, he's just a horrible fit for their offense and always was. but, eagles surely knew all about him and never thought twice about him being a long term starting option, certainly by the time they moved him.
― Roberto Spiralli, Friday, 31 August 2012 21:32 (eleven years ago) link
it would be hilarious if the cardinals went through all this w/ kolb then released him only to see him be competent for, like, the texans or something
― young money color me badd (J0rdan S.), Friday, 31 August 2012 21:32 (eleven years ago) link
i guess he would work best with possession and inside receivers, i.e. fitz totally wasted on him. so maybe someone like the titans could make something out of him? i bet he could do a cassel type job if brady died, moreso than mallett, who actually might be more use for someone like the cards, with his downfield arm that the pats can't really make use of.
it is certainly possible, though, that the real problem is he is a bit shit

― This cad needs a cordial introduction to Eugene of Oxbow. (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 1 September 2012 17:37 (eleven years ago) link
well for jax it all hinges on gabbert. if he gets that 2nd year bump and can put in a half decent showing he has a couple new wide receivers and a decent TE to target. obviously they have a long way to go on that side of the ball as i think they were last in the league last year even with mjd, but even a middling offense together with similar production from what was one of the better nfl defenses last year, and it's not too crazy to think they might scrape a winning record from somewhere. you definitely can't put any kind of scenario like that together for arizona. plus jax surely aren't even the worst team in their division, they have to do better than indy.
― Roberto Spiralli, Saturday, 1 September 2012 20:28 (eleven years ago) link
i watched some video on the phoenix newspaper website (i was looking for conspiracy theories about what philadelphia knew + when) where they were discussing who cards should start at QB (this was before they went w/ skeletor over kolb). anyway, they have this few minute long discussion weighing pros and cons of each and then one is like: "between these two choices, and the rest of the talent on the team, does it really matter who they go with in the end?" and the other person was like "no, that's a good point. it really doesn't make any difference to the cardinals season."
