CaptainHook Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I am not a fan of Del Rio at all. Tried to make the Jaguars into "tough guys". Might be the perfect fit for them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the outlaw Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 he's a product of the "iron mike" coaching tree...nuthin' wrong w/that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) What's wrong with that? By tough guys I meant cheap and dirty. Lots of trash talk and dirty play. Every time they played the Colts they had multiple personal fouls and Del Rio would just be over their smiling. Then they'd lose. I should have said "dumb tough guys."

Zooty Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 "Hey let's hire this guy. He was a failure every where else but he'll be great for the crap on our roster." I feel bad for Raiders fans. Oh and "In" before the guys who want to point out all his successful playoff runs. 3 winning seasons and most of them were with Coughlin's players. This guy is a joke and not a HC.

the outlaw Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 i dunno, i've always liked del rio and thought he did decent job as HC in JAX, but i guess being a 'skins fan my standards have diminished over the years ever since joe gibbs retired the first time...LMAO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazinib1 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Underwhelming but typical hire for the Raiders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 The hot rumor has Trestman taking the OC gig and Mike Smith taking over DC duties. Not a horrible duo IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 First of all, I'm gonna take the high road and say Del Rio is a good hire. He's a Bay Area guy (family's owned season tix for many years) that will bring an "edge" back to Da Raidahs. Maybe that's what they need. And hey, he had a few fairly successful seasons with the Jags, and they've done jackpoo since. As for the Trestman rumor, wow. He may have flopped as a HC (ugh) but man... Derek Carr was on my shortlist for sleeper QBs next season, this would only amplify that (and probably make more folks consider him - doh). Lukewarm on the Smith rumor. I suppose he'd just be a "mouthpiece" with Del Rio really making the imprint defensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Hmm another OC filling in without Kyle Shannahan. And fewer openings in general and not a lot of talk about daddy Mike getting a HC or GM job to bring him along. I guess he may be on the outside looking in. Of course the Browns haven't exactly had great candidates beating down their door for the job. Come on Haslam, call Peyton, he can be QB coach and OC, and buy part of the team from you. Make the call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thews40 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 The problem this year with the Broncos was defense. The Raiders do what the Raiders do, which is to throw money at the holes, instead of building a solid foundation. This is just another disaster two years in the making for the Raiders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stethant Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Congratulations...you've now been the coach of the worst two NFL franchises. Very well said - there is nothing to suggest this is going to go well. Who else was banging down Del Rio's door and what has he done lately to make us think this time around is going to be any better than last time? Raiders and Jaguars at a minimum should be folded and removed from the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazinib1 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Imagine living in the Bay Area and being asked what you think about the respective hires. Whoever you choose tells you a lot about the guy you didn't choose. Tough time to be a Bay Area football fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin_Akie Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Sounds like he was the only experienced candidate who really wanted the job. He'll do a mediocre job and then leave after three years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell me that you aren't comparing Del Rio to Carroll? Because I missed the part where Del Rio made a college program a dominate powerhouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Are you saying Del Rio couldn't? In comparing NFL historical data, I don't see how anyone can write him off because of what he did in JAX. Not sure about you Zooty, but I believe people get better and can improve their competencies and abilities. Why the easy write-off of Jack? I think he could have success in Oakland - but like the Bears, ownership is a big road block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he could have success in Oakland - but like the Bears, ownership is a big road block. because he didn't learn in the 7-8 years he was a HC in Jax. Most of these who succeed with a second team had short stints and learn from their mistakes. He just strikes me as too arrogant to recognize why his team steadily declined with him as the coach. It's partially my dislike of him too but I think he falls in the ok to good category. He'll have a .500 career Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I think he may have had other obstacles in his way at the time and he brings a toughness that can be admired. We will see but you are probably correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
