“REVIVAL-RAIDERS NATION”
=========

Raiders football, in the off season.
It was part Tent Revival Speech..part  Hall of Fame presentation.
It was impressive.

Pete Carroll arrives as Head Coach.  John Spytek takes over as GM.
One with the reputation as a winner…the other as a roster builder.
One old dog..the other young pup.

For the first time in a long time, the Raiders have a feel good atmosphere around them.
It has very little to do with Mark Davis, the owner.
Alot to do with the input of legendary QB-Tom Brady, headed to the Hall of Fame

The press conference was fun, full of promises, but delivered by people who have won, as compared to the current owner who has 2-winning seasons in his last 22-years of sad-sack ownership.

Comments from Pete Carroll:

..A unique and special day
..The Raiders captured me as a fan growing up
..I don’t do things like everyone else
..This will be a relationship organization
..I am always curious…seeking-asking-gathering information
..A year away from the game was life changing for me

..This is a once in a lifetime opportunity with Tom Brady’s input
..I want to build a great football team around a QB
..My teams run the ball, protect the football, and play great defense
..I want people who love to play the game…be the best they can possibly be
..We will build a mentality..find unique strength of each player
..I will share all our decisions with Jon Spytech
..The success of the Davis family has been unmatchable..get back to that.

..My lessons, how we do things..move ahead
..We teach everybody..illustrate what we want
..Make the game run for everyone
..Love of the game is important…Love is the center of what we do
..The games will be fun for our team
..If you don’t want to compete..you are in the wrong place.

..Tom Bradywas an integral part of this process
..He is the greatest competitor who ever played
..Tom Brady puts a stamp on this franchise

..I don’t live in the past..my next step is what defines me
..I love to compete..jacked up by this opportunity
..Important the people you surround yourself with

..USC allowed me to find my philosophy and to build hope
..We did historical things at USC
..My 27-years coaching allowed me to build USC and build Seattle
..I expect the same results here..I have been here before ‘building things’
..We will represent the global following of the Raiders

GM-John Spytek

..I learned what Pete Carroll did at every level he has been at
..We will hire people-players-who understand our philosophy
..We want guys ‘who will ball’
..This is an iconic cornerstone franchise

..Tampa Bay-we drafted and developed
..I am open minded about how to get players
..We can draft a QB..trade for a QB
..Not afraid to  think ‘outside the box’ to get players
..My history..sign talent…trade for talent

Ready-Set-Go…Let’s see if they can fix all the things wrong with the Raiders to the point I no longer call them the ‘Silver & Bleak’..but rather ‘Silver & Black’.
