That run defense without Tyvon Branch. That receiving corps without Streater. I hate everything.

People hate him because of the Hernandez connection, but I don't think many people actually deny his on-field talent.

If Miami loses to the raiders I can pretty much guarantee 1- matt Moore will have been out in at one point (unless last second Fg or something) and 2- joe philbin is one foot out the door.

Being that he is the only pass rush threat on the team, I'm sure he will be quadruple blocked

That's unfortunate, it's one of the few places in the world a guy who looks like that could blend in. You sure we can't work something out? I think he could do quite well in one of those weird boarding school type things ya'll have.

The biggest reason to keep Dennis Allen: Greg Olson is the likely favorite for interim head coach.

quote:

Raiders owner Mark Davis, who has considered firing his coach and general manager several times in recent years, has continued to discuss their status with confidants inside and out of the organization following the team's poor start, according to league sources, with second-year offensive coordinator Greg Olson a strong candidate to take over as interim head coach.

Olson has performed well with young quarterbacks in the past and has formed a strong bond with first-round pick Derek Carr, and is highly thought of throughout the organization. The Raiders have yet to win a game, however, and Allen's defense has been suspect early on and Davis continues to discuss options for re-working the organization.

Firing GM Reggie McKenzie in-season is tricky but moving on from Allen is less cumbersome and while some have focused on former Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano as a possible replacement, Davis is trying to evaluate coaches he may want to retain as part of new staff, which makes Olson particularly attractive.

Numerous sources with knowledge of the situation, including those who have been in contact with Raiders' decisions makers, said they would not be surprised in Davis made a coaching change in the bye week – which follows Sunday's game in England – should the team fail to perform well. Davis is trying to secure a stadium for next season – in the Bay Area or otherwise – by finding ways to put his franchise in position to be attractive to other municipalities. An 0-4 start and blowouts losses certainly don't help that cause.

Developing a quarterback is paramount, however, and having a person already in place with a strong relationship with him who can bring him along through the season not only improves the attractiveness of the head coaching job, and of Olson on a new staff, but it also may add to whatever Davis may or may not have with the various entities he speaks to about the future of the Raiders, be it in Oakland, Los Angeles, San Antonio or otherwise.

Jesus Christ, talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire. Greg Olson is a terrible coordinator and I can't even begin to imagine what a wreck he'd be as a head coach. Poor, poor Raiders. :(

edit: Here's all the mighty offenses Greg Olson has presided over during his inexplicably long career:

pre:
YEAR  TEAM      RANK    PPG
2005- DET	24th	18.5
2006- DET	28th	15.9
2007- STL	10th	22.9
2008- STL	27th	16.4
2009- TAM	18th	22.6
2010- TAM	27th	15.3
2011- TAM	20th	21.3
2013- OAK	24th	20.1

I don't know how he keeps finding work as a coordinator. Even when he gets demoted down to QBs coach like in the 2012 season the next year he's back again despite the quarterbacks under his tutelage getting even worse than they were the previous year.
