Thanks to Jerry MacDonald for posting a transcript
of Lane Kiffin’s Monday press conference. Either Kiffin has
a future on the pro poker circuit or he is planning on being the Head Coach of the Oakland Raiders next season. His answers about the future were about as direct and straightforward as he has been about anything thus far. From the looks of it, there will be some changes coming. It ...
Its the offseason. That time of year where
not much is happening in football. Well, teams are
cutting their dead weight and other teams are salivating over the sloppy seconds, but here in the Raider nation we need something to pass the time. I propose the Raider Press Conference drinking game. Those of us in the Raider Nation need an excuse to keep in drinking shape for the tailgates this ...
The first part of our segment breaking down
what the Jets need to do in the off-season,
also updates on the potential hiring of Rob Ryan as defensive coordinator
The conflicting reports have come out of Oakland,
first Rob Ryan is fired then he is not
only not fired, but not to speculate about his job. With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ season ending with a loss to the New York Giants, the two most rumored replacements for the fired, not-fired, probably soon to be fired Ryan are available for the Raiders to talk to. The most intriguing candidate is Bucs’...
The Oakland Raiders’ offseason is slightly more than
a week old, but it has been a whale
of a roller coaster ride. Defensive coordinator Rob Ryan was about to be fired, then he wasn’t fired. Suddenly, the rumors are again flying that Lane Kiffin may not even be the Raiders coach for 2008. The nexus of all the rumors is the memo that came out the other day that said that Rob Ryan has not been ...
Last offseason, I declared in a post that
the Raiders had reached Rock Bottom, but with this
latest episode, I have come to believe that statement was premature. With the continuous rumors emanating from Alameda regarding Lane Kiffin, Rob Ryan, Al Davis, and about everyone else involved with the Oakland Raiders the team has become the punchline of the NFL. As a lifetime citizen of the Raider ...
Peter King made an offhand comment at the
end of the Pittsburgh Steeler Jacksonville Jaguar tilt that
Lane Kiffin is not a lock to return to the Oakland Raiders next season. This flippant remark has sent shockwaves of panic though the Nation, over nothing more than speculation. It seems that every Raider fan is on edge right now. It seems that the speculation comes from the memo yesterday that ...
Before the offseason even began, the coaching staff
became a hot topic among the members of the
Raider Nation. The reports trickled out defensive coordinator Rob Ryan was fired, then the Raiders’ front office said he wasn’t. This touched off a firestorm (Howie Long would promote his movie of that name here as he did on the Fox Pregame Show) of rumors that Lane Kiffin wasn’t happy and wanted ...
I would like to start off my opinion
piece of the Oakland Raiders defense with what I
think of Rob Ryan. Do I think there should be a change in defensive philosophy. Absolutely. Do I think there should be at coordinator? Maybe. Why not? It’s pretty simple, Rob Ryan is NOT running Rob Ryan’s defense. Rob Ryan is running the archaic Al Davis defense. You think Ryan only wants to rush the DL, ...
Rumor and innuendo have surrounded the Oakland Raiders
coaching staff and have festered in the hearts and
minds of the Raider nation since the close of the regular season. Rob Ryan has been fired. Ryan has not been fired. Lane Kiffin is not happy and going to quit. Other than a terse memo that said no more than Rob Ryan has not been fired, the Raider organization has been more quiet than a Zen ...
One of the oldest adages in football is
that to win a team has to be able
to run the ball and stop the run. The Raiders of 2007 ran the ball very well much to the surprise of everyone outside of Alameda ending up with the sixth ranked rushing offense. On the other hand, the Raiders’ defense was turned to road-kill on a weekly basis. Rob Ryan has taken much of the heat for this problem, along ...
Rob Ryan is reportedly out as the Raiders'
defensive coordinator -- but is expected to land on
his feet in the same job for the New York Jets.
See, now this is a job we could
see Bill Cowher going for. Well, let’s amend that
- because it would make him a division rival with Pittsburgh, he won’t take it, but Baltimore is a team that has enough pieces in place that it could ...
Oakland Raiders’ spokesman Mike Taylor has released a
statement saying in effect that Rob Ryan has not
yet been fired. Nowhere in that statement is anything saying that Ryan will remain the Raiders’ defensive coordinator. This is reminiscent of the Adam Schefter report last season that Art Shell would be fired. The Raiders fired back a press release saying that no decision had been made, and ...
Rob Ryan isn't coming to New York, and
looking at the performance of the Jets special teams
and coaching staff
As Stamos mentions below, Ms. Ambrosio decided, instead
of saving herself for me, she would rather give
her sweet, sweet loving to some Johnny Swingcock that no one has ever heard of. Obviously I’m a little hurt, but the best thing to do in ...
ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Ryan Leong , Special Contributor
It's not often that coaches really speak their minds
-- even in this day and age of the information superhighway. Over the years, coaches and players have learned to censor themselves because of how ...
With a few (sort of) surprising NFL moves,
the Tennessee offensive coordinator position might now be more
up in the air than ever. And with all this uncertainty, if you’re Phil Fulmer, why not pull out the driver and let the big dog eat? ...

After months of speculation, many dead trees, and
even more bandwidth expended, Oakland Raiders head coach Lane
Kiffin spoke to the media on the supposed rift between him and owner Al Davis, the new acquisitions, Rob Ryan, and even Javon Walker’s thoughts on opening the season against Denver. For those keeping track, he even was reportedly sporting a Raider polo shirt. Much like Jerry ...
