Mangini survives another day. You know the man is sweating bullets. He didn't exactly get a ringing endorsement. My gut tells me Holmgren is a stand up guy and does want to give him a legitimate chance to state his case. Still, I think we're going to see a West Coast Guy. All of the Belichick clones have faltered. Kind of like all of the Jimmy Johnson coat tail riders, although Norv has a chance to change that this year.
Edited to add: Cleveland Plain Dealer is reporting that Mike Holmgren has already been on the phone with John Fox. I like this.
Black Monday for NFL coaches.

Re: Black Monday for NFL coaches.
Yeah but every team side steps it somehow. Mangini was the only guy Lerner brought into the Browns last year for an interview. His "loophole?" He didn't immediately fire Romeo Crennel, he gave him a chance to "state his case to keep the job" on his way to firing him. So he (lerner) technically did "interview" a minority, although in reality the interview was Romeo getting fired.Machado wrote:The Rooney Rule, established in 2003, requires National Football League teams to interview minority candidates for head coaching and senior football operations opportunities.
The rule is named for Dan Rooney, the owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the chairman of the league's diversity committee, and indirectly the Rooney family in general due to the team's long history of giving African Americans opportunities that most NFL teams at one point didn't give.
It is often cited as an example of affirmative action.

Re: Black Monday for NFL coaches.
No one outside of Oakland likes the Raiders, but Al wants to move to some state of the art stadium somewhere else. Meanwhile he puts out a football product that's akin to LA Clippers Basketball. I don't wish death on anyone, but his passing would be the best thing to happen to Raider Nation. At one point, he was a great owner, but he's off his rocker.Garbageman wrote:Close...

Raider fan here foo!
The Raiders need a new stadium, the Alameda Coliseum is a total shit hole but if they move anywhere other then LA I'll probably stop watching football or not give two shits, the game today is a watered down product of what I grew up with anyway.Tymaster wrote:No one outside of Oakland likes the Raiders, but Al wants to move to some state of the art stadium somewhere else.

What can be said about Al? The old man is totally off his fucking rocker but to compare the Raiders to the Clippers is a joke, they've won their share of championships and was in the super bowl what? 7 years ago?...It could be worse.
Sad part is, Al Davis is a cyborg and will out live us all.

Re: Black Monday for NFL coaches.
I predict Tom Cable gets fired, replaced by Jim Fassel and J.P. Losman will be the starting QB in Oakland next season. Fassel coached Losman in the UFL and really likes him...

Re: Black Monday for NFL coaches.
The league was pushing for the Raiders and 49ers to team up for one new football stadium similar to the Jets & Giants new building. Of course if that were to happen it would be like the Clippers... one team always gets greatly overshadowed and treated like a JV team. It's still funny to most that the Jets spent two decades playing home games at Giants Stadium.UtahRatt wrote: The Raiders need a new stadium, the Alameda Coliseum is a total shit hole but if they move anywhere other then LA I'll probably stop watching football or not give two shits, the game today is a watered down product of what I grew up with anyway.
