The odd part is the soft sell of the turnip. He’s got to be the worst owner in the NFL or close to it.

It's a huge decision and I want Spytek to have someone to discuss it with who's smart, informed and committed to the Raiders. I still want to hire a guy who Spytek is extremely excited about as head coach.

I think Brady knows a helluva lot more about what you need in an NFL head coach than other owners - he's played for several and won SBs with 2. I have no doubt that he'd be well prepared for any HC interview.

My biggest requirement for anyone involved in the process is that they enter with an open mind - don't fall in love with Jon Gruden II before letting the process help you make a decision.

Good read..here’s an excerpt on the Oline..
"A lot of guys were out of their natural position," left tackle Kolton Miller told ESPN. "It's not easy, but [Brennan Carroll] tried to get the best of us together each week."

An agent of a Raiders offensive lineman said that his client told him the position group met multiple times on their own with Smith and Jeanty, and specifically without coaches, so the quarterback and running back could talk to them about how they wanted the offensive line to create blocks.

"It was that bad," the agent told ESPN. "They were meeting on their own and trying to figure it out together, which I have never heard of in my history of working in this league."

"There is some sort of nepotism going on," a fourth agent of a Raiders player said.
