Raiders hired fukkin Methusaleh to be coach.

First week of the season the headline will be...

"Raiders mourn the passing of head coach Methusaleh."

Carroll was energetic for a 64 year old guy 10 years ago when leading Seattle to Super Bowls

Who the hell knows what the Raiders will be getting

64 to 74 can be a loooooong ten years.

It's not like 24-34 years old.

In that division Pete won’t touch the playoffs or a .500 record. The toughest division in the history of sports. The AFC North had every team with a winning record a few years ago, but this division has every coach with a Super Bowl victory or Super Bowl appearance/NCAA National Championship. Great resumes.

Let's see who he picks for his coordinators first.

If he gets Chip Kelly to run the offense, that would really be something.

WTF 😆 🤣

What winning template are they copying here?

You get a young QB & pair him with a young offensive coordinator/ HC and run it for 5 years.

Even if they gave Darnold a shot, you'd pair him with Kellen Moore or an Andy Reid disciple.

This is just stupid.

I agree.

It is stupid.

But if he gets Chip Kelly to come in as OC with the understanding that Kelly will take over as head coach in a couple years, I could see it working.

So do we think Brady is making the decisions?
I'd be shocked if Davis caved. I'm shocked Davis even went this direction on coaches.
That’s what’s so confusing. Ben Johnson would have seemed like a Brady pick, Pete Carroll seems more like a Mark Davis pick. Pete put his name back out there a few weeks ago when no one was considering ANY 70+ year old coaches. Only a Maverick would hire someone with a predetermined end date. A 3 year deal for Pete is a life sentence. I don’t believe Brady wants to keep losing and hiring coaches under his watch. Maybe Brady has zero pull in the building. There is nothing even X’s and O’s about this hire. Pete is a motivator not a schemer. Maybe the Raiders are going to be a rah rah college team.

Would love to get the players take on Carroll being hired. Of course, they probably have to keep quite and tow the company line so that likely won't happen.

Reports said talks with Johnson broke down after he said he wanted to choose his own GM and then Brady said the GM is my guy and that's when Johnson said see ya later.

This is not a bad hire

Raiders need an adult in the room, and someone who has actually proven to be something in the league

Way better than Jets and Cowboys

Johnson is way overrated

He’s a coordinator
