Do any fans actually look at the facts and data before they post ? They pay him that much because its the going rate. Coaches arent getting $5mil anymore.SuperRaider wrote: Sun Dec 07, 2025 3:13 am and now Pete getting 15 million; don’t know why they paid him that much
...crazy, ain't it....chucker wrote: Fri Dec 05, 2025 10:24 am So wait...... Pete Carroll is too old, but we should want a QB who quit on two teams already? (plus quit on too many plays to count)
Didn’t realise that a lot of HC’s were getting that much money; thanks for infoRaiderFan1 wrote: Mon Dec 08, 2025 10:57 am Do any fans actually look at the facts and data before they post ? They pay him that much because its the going rate. Coaches arent getting $5mil anymore.

If they don't trust him then why hire him in the first place?And if it is simply to be a puppet GM then the front office above him can point the finger directly at themselves for this shitshow...ELCAraiderfan wrote: Wed Dec 10, 2025 2:09 am Those saying give Spytek the absolute say in everything regarding personnel and coaches, my question is:
What the hell has Spy done to earn that trust? I don't and I think most people don't know who really called the shots for the 2025 draft and FA personnel but the 2025 draft so far has sucked ass. Never should have taken Jeannty or any RB with the 6th pick. Raiders needed and still need OL first and alot of it.
So we'll all see what happens but I won't be expecting too much until I see Spytek actually do something, a lot of somethings to improve this club. So far he's just an ex-football players buddy and most explayers are shit at running teams front office
He's the GM so clearly he's done enough in his career to earn trust of ownership and he was instrumental in building the Bucs Super Bowl winning team so he's light years ahead of Mayock. I will give him an A for free agency alone as he didn't waste any money or cap space on this season. He let himself get a year under his belt with the roster to truly see what he has and now he truly knows what players to run back with and what positions need upgrading. It's hard to say much about his first draft because Pete didn't want to play rookies. We need to see what the guy can do with Carroll and his Seahawks coaches/players out of the picture.ELCAraiderfan wrote: Wed Dec 10, 2025 2:09 am Those saying give Spytek the absolute say in everything regarding personnel and coaches, my question is:

I am not even sure that trust is a factor. The job is about making personnel decisions. That is the job, so when you get that job, that is what you are doing, making those kinds of decisions. It is why I hated Gruden getting control. It is why I hated Davis overstepping guys to make hires. You get the GM job, let them do the damn job.heavyD wrote: Wed Dec 10, 2025 11:52 am He's the GM so clearly he's done enough in his career to earn trust of ownership and he was instrumental in building the Bucs Super Bowl winning team so he's light years ahead of Mayock.

I want Spytek to stay but I'm still lost over the Cappa signing. Not so much that we added him, because I don't mind veterans in a position group to compete for jobs, but who the f[raiders_icon]ck did we think we were competing with for his "services" when we paid him that much?heavyD wrote: Wed Dec 10, 2025 11:52 am He's the GM so clearly he's done enough in his career to earn trust of ownership and he was instrumental in building the Bucs Super Bowl winning team so he's light years ahead of Mayock.

Hence the name change? Sorry you lost your gig. Any chance of hooking onto another school?Viper wrote: Thu Dec 11, 2025 6:02 am I can personally say Pete needs to go with conviction as after over 20 years of coaching I was recently replaced for a younger version of myself. Sucks I couldn’t see it myself - fukn pride. Hopefully we have someone in the building to do the same for Pete.

Were there any positives from spytecs first offseason? We let good players walk and replaced them with 1 year bums. We didn’t address the o-line. We traded for and extended Geno.chucker wrote: Wed Dec 10, 2025 12:07 pm I want Spytek to stay but I'm still lost over the Cappa signing.

The whole we let them walk narrative has always been kind of false to me. No one knows what or if an offer to a player was made. Agents will leak shit to make their clients look like the good guy. Also the player might just not want to be a part of the organization. Can't force a player to be a Raider after their rookie contract is upraiders93 wrote: Thu Dec 11, 2025 7:16 pm Were there any positives from spytecs first offseason?

And early returns on the current rookie class looks like a total flop.
