True.

If there's any one player in the NFL that epitomizes the Raiders... it's The Condor. ... Even this year's least penalized team in the league.

let's work

Saw a discussion on Mike McCarthy and his 11 postseason wins were brought up. "Only 9 coaches have more, including Shula, Landry," etc. one guy said. Great. What the guys on the other side of the discussion failed to bring up is he was 5-2 in his first 4 years as a head coach including a SB win. His QBs were Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers. But his last 12 years as a head coach he's just 6-9, some of them also with Rodgers. That's encouraging? A smart move by Jerrah?

I always thought he'd coach till they ran him off. But who knows.

I was checking out his coaching record with Philly and the Chiefs. 25 years. 20 winning seasons. 18 double digit win seasons. Just 3 losing seasons. 4 Superbowls. 2-2. They have a damn good chance to make it 3-2. So why not retire? 25 years...since age 40. If he's still driven then he'll continue. It's not like he's going to catch any records. He's not catching Belichick, Halas and Shula. He'd have to coach to deep into his seventies and have continued success. It's certainly possible. (Carroll is 72 and they just kicked him out). He needs 4 more SB wins to catch Belichick. That's a lot. Too many?

Some would say, "depends on how long Mahomes is successful". The guy will play in his 6th CCG in 6 years as a starter. How many years does he have left? Effective years? 8? More? Less? I certainly don't know.

Speaking of Belichick, outside of his SBs, his record is simliar to Reids. 29 seasons. 21 winning seasons. 20 double digit win seasons. However, 8 losing seasons. 9 Superbowls. 6 wins. Superbowls are basically everything. So are great quarterbacks.

Reid has coached the 5th most games in history (402), 15 behind Landry. Belichick is #3 (467), 23 behind Shula and 30 behind Halas. But anytime your name comes up with those 4 coaches, that's saying something.

In today's NFL guys don't last that long. Belichick (29 yrs), Reid (25 yrs), Carroll (18 yrs) Tomlin (17 yrs), McCarthy (17 yrs), Payton (16 yrs). The only guys with multiple Lombardis are those first two. With 3 good years, McVay can join them. He could get to 100 wins. The Madden of his generation (but getting to 100 wins younger). If he gets that 2nd SB win, he'll be in rarified air. There are 44 coaches with 100 or more regular season wins and just 10 of them have multiple SB wins

4 second interviews for Raheem, going to get one of them, hopefully not Seattle.

I, for one, do not want Raheem going to Seattle. I’m sure many feel that way. In fact, I wish he would go to the AFC. But that seems unlikely. Seattle is the closest to being a serious playoff contender. Depends on how Raheem views Geno/the QB sitch. But our dominance over them would be altered with Rah as HC, I believe.

Still a lot of coaches in play for Seattle. I'm surprised they're so heavily slanted towards defense. Why not just keep Carroll?
