“NFL…BLACK MONDAY…BLACK HOLE”
=========
The first wave of off season firings have come and gone.
Pretty harsh, pretty cruel, pretty petty.
And a true visual sign of NFL incompetence.
And it goes on year after year.
Coaches hired-fired, bought out, paid off and the losses continue
RAIDERS…Raw deal for Pete Carroll…Ownership bought into his track record, and why not, all he did as he reinvented himself, as USC, then with the Seahawks. And then just 11-months later after a (3-14) season, you fire him, for all the past sins of years and decades of Raiders ownership.
Did everyone coming in, from Carroll, to Tom Brady, to John Spytek not understand the bad history of Raiders drafts? The poor free agent signings? The quarterback crisis that has existed?
So much expect too soon in Las Vegas. Of course Carroll is to blame some for the construction of his coaching staff, the hand picking of Chip Kelly and his recently failed resume; the use of Carroll’s son as an offensive line coach; the decision to deal for ex Seahawks’ starter Geno Smith and the awarding of big money to a journeyman quarterback.
But these were not all Carroll decisions. It was not in a vacuum. It was with input from Tom Brady and GM-John Spytek, and yet Carroll was terminated.
He should have been given a second year, with more player help, the use of all those draft picks (11) they have, and the big (116M) cap space they own, to take the next step.
Outside of Brady’s resume in the NFL, there is no one else in that building with the accomplishment’s Pete Carroll has put into the record book.
Mark Davis is the one who bears all the responsibility for what has been such a crap product for decades. His hires, his fires, his waste of currency.
Let’s be honest. Mark Davis, you are not Al Davis. And if Al could step out of that casket, he should come fire his son.
Pete Carroll deserved better, but you cannot get that from historically bad ownership.
Black hole, black eye, that’s Raiders football.
