if McDaniels wanted to go ahead and have a complete meltdown and get fired by say, the middle of October that'd be cool

He has a GM this time instead of full control so I feel like our chances of fireworks are lower :(

The raiders literally can't afford to fire him after one year so if he is a dumpster fire then we get a few years of it.

I'm pretty sure there were some articles that talked about how little liquid cash the raiders had/have. I'm not gonna look for them tho

I feel like I've been seeing this for years with no evidence. Not calling you out but it just seems like a rumor someone started based on some random piece of info. The value of Raiders has jumped up quite a bit since they moved to Vegas so I imagine the Raiders/Mark Davis are fine now even if at some point cash was tight.

Are they still on the hook for like $50 mil to Gruden or were they able to wriggle out of that because he was fired for cause or something?

With how valuable that franchise is now I have a hard time believing they can't get as much capital as they need.

Yeah, with the 2billion in valuation increase alone they’d be able to get a quick $250 million line of credit somewhere. Someone would loan praying they default and it turns to shares. There’s a mile long lineup of people trying to buy into the nfl, that’d be a good way to sneak in.

(Assuming they even need the cash)

He claimed he watched every snap of every team in his interview, and then flat out admitted that was a lie at the press conference announcing his hiring. That story was from the Mike McCarthy PR push during his gap year between the Packers and Cowboys; that he had set up a tape room where he and his coach buddies were meticulously dissecting every team in the league in preparation of being a coach again the following season.

And Jerry was right there when he admitted that was a lie, too. He didn’t accidentally admit it, he was rubbing it in Jerry’s face. :lol:

And some drivel about practice, when you've had in theory a whole offseason to game plan. Maybe Kliff is the one who needed the study clause.

I think Dak's injury actually makes Fat Mike's seat warmer. It's (the injury) obviously not at all his fault, but Mike looked utterly lost when he had to coach without Rodgers through the two broken collarbones and it was a big reason why he eventually got fired.

If he looks hapless and confused again in this 6-8 week stretch without Prescott we're going to hear a lot of Sean Payton or even Kellen Moore talk.

Payton is like 95% to be the Cowboys coach next year. There is like no way that doesn't happen.

He was an assistant for the Cowboys for three years, and managed to put together competent offenses with guys like Quincy Carter and the corpse of Vinny Testaverde under center. He also pushed hard for them to draft Romo, despite most scouts not having any faith in him. So Jerry loving loves him.

Still not sure how coaching staff dont have someone who can override all communications in the headset at times like this and just yell "TIMEOUT" again and again until the HC listens.

You have Russell Wilson, 3 time outs, and less than a minute on the clock. No one faults you for going for it on 4th & 6 there, when the alternatives are a 64 yard field goal, or a punt where you might not get the ball back.

The second worst option would be to call TO, punt, and hope you can force a 3 & out with a few seconds on the clock for a Hail Mary. Personally, I'd rather go with going for it on 4th & 6.

The worst possible option is literally to burn the clock down to 20 seconds, and then try for a 64 yard field goal, made worse by the fact that after Pete called a time out, it was obvious the kicker wasn't going to make it.

Nathaniel can't Hackett in the NFL. :smuggo:

Something to keep in mind as well is that even if the Broncos failed the 4th down conversion, that wouldn't have been the end—they still got three timeouts left, enough to stop the clock and potentially get the ball back with enough time for a handful of plays if they could force a three and out. It would be a hell of a long shot, but Wilson's pulled miracles out of his rear end before—and the combined odds are certainly a hell of a lot better than putting all your eggs in the basket of your kicker making an extremely low-percentage field goal.
