The Official Oakland Raiders Offseason thread

[FreshAIG]

ALAMEDA — Jon Gruden acknowledged his candidacy for the Raiders head coaching job Tuesday in a phone interview with the Bay Area News Group.

“My understanding is they’re interviewing candidates this week and they’re going to let everybody know sometime early next week or whenever they make their decision,” Gruden said.

Asked specifically if he was a candidate, Gruden said, “Well, I think I am being considered, yes. I hope I’m a candidate.”

"I hope I'm a candidate" Gruden the troll Gawd

To be fair, both Carr and Del Rio should go, but I understand Raiders won't let Carr go.

We’ve come full circle.

Jan 2nd 2002 and shyt.

Im reading this shyt like these mothafukkas are truly insane.

Can u imagine if we get fitz or megatron out of retirement

I absolutely have no problem believing we could pull megatron out of retirement if we got Gruden back.

Low-key,
I want them to draft a QB to fight for Carr's job.

Why is it ridiculous? He's overrated. Jared Cook, Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree should = playoffs. Carr is 26 now.

Report: Gareon Conley Didn’t Leave Favorable Impression On Some Teammates
Posted: Jan 2nd, 2018 | Author: RaidersBeat.com No Comments
When the Raiders calculated the risk to drafting Gareon Conley with their first draft pick in 2017, the concern revolved primarily around his legal status.

Ultimately, general manager Reggie McKenzie was comfortable with Conley’s legal status and moved forward by drafting the Ohio State superstar.

Conley was eventually cleared of any legal wrongdoing, but his football career didn’t become any less complicated.

On top of the obvious injury issues, there was also the perception that Conley wasn’t motivated as a player, according to The Athletic’s Vic Tafur.

“Worse than the Raiders losing their top two drafts picks to injuries was the impression that cornerback Gareon Conley and Obi Melifonwu made on teammates.”

Though not publicly, the Raiders coaching staff privately questioned Conley’s drive since he arrived in Oakland and Tafur added on Tuesday that at least one player was concerned that Melifonwu and Conley might not “really want it”.

Obviously, the Raiders highly touted rookies were only two of the many disappointments that led to an incredibly underwhelming season in Oakland, but this storyline is just one more that will need to be cleared up or cleaned up by the next coaching staff.

Gruden is bringing back the band together for some unfinished business

Low-key,
I want them to draft a QB to fight for Carr's job.

Why not sign a vet that can push him?

Remember Tyler Wilson and Connor Cook? I dont trust Reggie with drafting QB's

What Vet would be good enough that would be available?

I don't trust him, I got more faith in Gruden choosing one. A motived low round pick. Nothing too serious.
