To be fair Pete has winning pedigree and I don’t think anyone would have predicted that the Raiders finish last place and worse than AP. They clearly went after the right guy in Johnson but once he was out of the running, the pickings were slim and they probably looked at Pete as a bridge who could set up a foundation. It didn’t work out but picking 1st overall is a really nice parting gift. This hiring cycle looks even worse and we have to hope that the Raiders braintrust finally gets one of these hire right.

Attyla wrote: Mon Jan 05, 2026 8:59 am Um no, Brady currently calls games on Sunday, but he spent decades learning the game of football. As for his involvement up til now? No, it did not change my mind. He was never in the building during the season and was very rarely there during the off season. He was a sounding board, by his own admission. The fact that the Raiders said he will be active in the new coaching search does not necessarily mean its true and if it is true, the "guy who calls games on Sunday" can use his HOF playing career (you know, that thing you never had) to our advantage. I get it you think Flores is the choice because if it is and we fail you can pound your chest, but the process will include interviews where Brady is likely not even going to be in the room because he will be preparing for the next game he calls.

News flash, fat man, I value his opinion above yours by a factor of a million. Tattoo that to your stomach.

Anyways, onwards and upwards.

What sticks in your craw is I was 95% right about Brady in my predictions. Of course hires like Pete, ruling out Darnold, forcing Chip on Pete, sitting in the coach box on game days and getting mad at the press for reporting just never happened in your world.


This job & the Giants job are the 2 best ones out there so forgive me if I prefer an offensive minded HC in a QB driven league.

And if you haven’t paid attention 90% of these jobs as HC or GM are NOT going to former HOF players.

You can value Brady’s football opinion over mine all you want, id rather read the books of Bill Polian and make my opinions on personnel that way…in fact I’d rather have a football discussion with the crap I just took than listen to more of your Brady butt kissing.

2. The Chiefs' draft position should not be our concern.
