DOESN'T SOUND LIKE IT TO ME....

Then Leftwich was fired in January 2023 and fell off the grid.

Since then, Leftwich has enjoyed cooking breakfasts and driving his 14-year-old son, Dominic, to school, AAU basketball and junior varsity football practice in Atlanta.

“I’ve loved every minute of it,” Leftwich said of the time with his son.

But to be clear: He wants to coach again. He always has.

“I’ve not changed my number,” said Leftwich, 45. “I’ve just been taking my son to school every day, making breakfast. Now, I’m having the time of my life. But even my son is like, ‘Dad, are you going to coach again?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, I am going to get back in.’

“Hopefully, I’ll get an opportunity but I’m ready to coach.”

HES WAITING ON A JOB
INSTEAD OF WORKING HIS WAY
BACK INTO THAT POSITION

I've given my backdrop before, years ago on here, but I'll give it again...

The first team I ever loved was the Titans, since '99 and still riding with em. But the second team I ever loved? The Raiders, because I was a Charles Woodson Stan, and he's still my favorite athlete ever...

I came up in Sacramento, which was 50/50, Raiders/49ers fans. My pops loved the Niners, so I hated em, naturally gravitated to the Raiders. I never loved em more than the Titans, who I just loved the colors and players more. But the days of the Raiders with Woodson and Allen as bookend corners, Napoleon Kaufman, Rich Gannon, those were my Raider days...

My fandom with the Raiders faded when I became a Skins fan and pretty much left completely when Woodson left, so I haven't considered myself a "Raiders fan" in many years. But as far as (formerly) local teams go, they are who I root for, I do keep light tabs on em and like to see em do well...

Because of my emotional history with them they are kinda my "secondary" AFC team, I still like em. Kinda like how living in NC has made me a fairweather Panthers fan in the NFC. They aren't really my team, but I like em and want to see them succeed, follow them lightly...

So you add that with, I'm a Pete Carroll Stan, and without question my favorite team I ever saw on NFL history, was LOB-era Seattle Seahawks. I think Pete is a phenomenal coach, he really isn't discussed as one of the 20 best coaches ever, but he should be. This is only a 3-4 year deal, he's old and he's not gonna be there long...

This is straight up about restoring credibility and respectability to the Raiders brand, and I think he will. They won't win a Super Bowl and probably won't even come close, but by the time he leaves they'll be a playoff team and he'll have a hand in who his successor is, to carry them to the next level...

I've never seen a division this stacked at head coach. A few things are about to happen that are in his favor though:

•the Chiefs dynasty has a maximum of 1 year left on it, if it continues thru 2025. The longest dynasties in NFL history, from first to last title run, lasted 7 years. 2025 would make 7, and that's if it lasts that long. The Chiefs won't ever suck while Mahomes and Reid are there but there's about to be an imminent regression to the field, which bodes well for all the other teams;

•7 teams get into the playoffs, which favors a rebuilding team. Denver just made it and wouldn't have made it in the old NFL playoff structure;

•the other two coaches aren't locks. Sean Payton was known as Mr 8-8 for years and his team was notorious for blowing several big playoff games in New Orleans. Harbaugh is a great coach, but incidentally, he's the only coach in this division who has never won a Super Bowl...

Once the Chiefs start regressing towards the mean, this division is wide open. Why not the Raiders?

Pete's biggest weakness is the inability to build a consistently functional offensive line, which is tied to his OC hires. He's GOT to get some assistance in finding a solid OC, it's not a strong suit for him...

But establishing a consistent roster that is competitive? That's a lock. They'll win more than 4 games in 2025, bet it up...

Go Raiders!

I don’t remember exactly but i vaguely remember that be a talking point on here

 

[focusloco]

Pete Carroll will have the respect of his team on day 1 and his team will play hard for him...also he will have a good defense that is physical...that alone will have me at allegiant stadium for a few games next year

 

[Reggie]

This feels like a good pickup for the Raiders but they seem to be so cursed that maybe even Pete can't bring them out of the hole they have been in for going on two decades now. But if he still has something left in the tank he might can work his magic once more. I'm intrigued to find out if they can make it work though.

 

[Trojan 24]

Lotta Raider fans are USC Fans... so this is a big hire for the fan base.

Yup, streets gotta little energy

Go Raiders!

It was one thing when it was Titans was the AFC team and Slurs were the NFC team.

Idk know if Two Tone nation rollin' wit this shyt right here tho

 

[South Paw]

They still have no qb
Can't even name who they leading rusher was without googling
Brock bowers at te is best thing going for them
And Jakobi Myers was probably their best wr
They turned the ball over too much
Defense might be okay

Pete don’t use tight ends

 

[mson]

Strong coaches division.

Ay man, that's how it's always been

 

[reserved_one]

I’m conflicted….i don’t know what to feel about this move. I like Pete Carroll as a coach and a person but at 73? I don’t know. It can’t be any worse than the recent coaches we hired and fired.
