Radiers Fans, R U happy about Shell retaking the coaching reigns? I am not a Raiders fan and am always leary?

I heard that before bringing in Shell,  Al Davis was going to conduct a contest called Raider Idol, in which contestents from around the country would compete to be the next Raiders coach, with one contestent being voted off each week. He changed his mind at the last second out of fear that the winner would turn down the job at the end of the show...

well, I'm a huge Raider fan to start out.  When I saw that the Titans took Young and the Jets stuck with their guns and took D'Brickashaw I was like "WE GOT LEINART!!!! WE GOT LEINART!!!"  then it came time for the Raiders to pick and I vividly remember hearing the commish saying "....the Oakland Raiders select Mmm" and I threw my hands in the air in triumph "Michael Huff from Texas"  man....the life was sucked out of me.  If you would have said the Raiders are gonna get Huff in the draft I would have been happy as hell.  If you THEN would have told me, "by the way, Leinart would have been available and you would have passed on him" I would think you were high.\nBut from all accounts the Raiders have high hopes for Andrew Walter and wern't about to draft another QB from USC even though Leinart probably won't resemble Todd Maranovich in the least bit.\nI love Huff and love it even more that he'll be starting and making plays week 1.  Darnell Bing is gonna suprise some people on the Raiders and I wouldn't be surprised if he gets someones starting job this season.\nHoward I know little to nothing about, only that he's an energy ball and has alot to learn and know even less about Paul McQuistan even though Weber St is like 15 minutes from my house LOL\n\nGO RAIDERS!!!!

i did.  not an oilers fan but gotta admit they played great.  the game was exciting as i expected it to be.  i am cheering for sj to beat nashville. i am cheering for detroit.  don't get me wrong, i like edmonton and give them great respect but i really think detroit will win this series in six or seven games.

yeah, i'm watching because i am a diehard big orange fan.  we are getting beat by a better team, possibly a national championship team.  no excuses here, not an ugly game like our last one with lsu, where we beat ourselves. tonite we simply got beat by a better team. congrats hogs and fans, hope you fellow southerners go all the way!!!

Last year he was a back-up for the Raiders.  He currently is not on any team roster, and he isn't listed as a free agent.  I think he is done and retried.  He made enough money and probably doesn't want to play.  Plus he hasn't played in a game for a few years, so no one wants him anyway.

I would say they won't win........They have not been doing too good.\nI live about 1 hour from their homebase.......It's hard on the Raider fans here........From what I have seen.  Yikes...they need to crack the whip on those Boys.......They draw a good crowd normally.\n\nhttp://www.raiders.com/intro/raiders.com.html

I think hiring Nolan is great for the Islanders. I have never understood why it has taken this long for him to get another head coaching job in the NHL when there have been so many bad head coaches. I think because of the long layoff he's had coaching in the NHL, not coaching in general, I know he's been coaching, he will bring some enthusiasm to the Isles. As far as Neil Smith goes, I'm a little leery about that move. He did make a lot of questionable acquisitions as GM of the Rangers the last few years but perhaps he can regain the magic for the Isles. Anything has got to be better than the crap the Isles have put together on the ice the last few seasons.

That made me so HAPPY. I can't stand the Patriots. I'm happy that my first team (Indi) beat them last week. I'll be honest, I wasn't sure that the Jets could do it, but when I saw that score of 17-14 with only a few minutes to go, I was so happy. I like the Jets. That win was big for them. It's good that New England gets a little bit of a wake up call. They're not as hot as they thought they were. \n\n:-D

I am a Tiger fan, and I wouldnt go that far.\n\nThey do lead the league, or are pretty high up, in all major catergories.\n\nMaroth was pitching the best stuff of his career when he went down, and that hurt us.\n\nJOnes & Rodney are almost lights out...except on those rare occassions when they blow it.\n\nI think Kenny Rodgers has been a very powerful influence on this staff. You see him in the dugout talking to other pitchers and goofing around with the other players.\n\nHe has loosened up this staff, and made them realize how good they can be.\n\nMaroth should be back in late July, and that will be just in time to revive our staff.\n\nI really do not expect them to keep it up all season, although it would be nice.\n\nI am simply enjoying the season as it is.\n\nI am still pinching myself to see if I am dreaming.

Well, last night's game looked like a completely different series didn't it?\n\nEdmonton was ALL over San Jose from beginning to end.  Rolosson came up HUGE for the Oil and this team is RIGHT BACK IN IT.  \n\nI will cry tears of happiness if the Oilers win the cup this year.  And I think that they can do it!\n\nOilers in 7 baby!!\n\nGO OIL GO!!

Me. It was a lot of fun being part of the "black out" crowd that night. I also clearly remembered WV getting it together last year when they played us (winning in triple OT) - heck, I think they were unbeaten after that! Glad we were able to return the favor.\n\nUofL still doesn't get any respect. Apparently all the sportscasters and coaches out there have been brainwashed into thinking there is any talent on this team (I'm being facetious, of course.)\n\nI answered another question previously with just this sort of response, given thumbs down because I had anything nice to say about my team. I am a fan, I do bleed red and black - always have - GO CARDS!

Think about it? if this team is so bad then why did it have 10 wins last year with one of the hardest schedules in the league....There are some issues in the defensive secondary but the got herm edwards...he was a secondary coach...so you tell me a offensive power house that hasn't lost anyone from a 10 wins team last year(chris horn) and has a defense minded coach now, something the team always needed, now you have both parts offense and defense and u say they lose to the raiders???!!!!haha...hey didn't they beat the patriots and you say the lose to the raiders???...so how good are they now...considering the oline was carrying the OC that went to the Redskins for too much..add a decent draft to help the pass rush...a QB with a heart of gold...and the arrival of a heathy preist holmes(they dont have to pass lol)..this team is looking up!! they will be playing in the super bowl this season!!...

I am!!!\n\nBeing a Tiger Fan For Life, I never would have thought this was possible.\n\nHow can ANYONE NOT be impressed???\n\nThey have the BEST record in baseball right now. Are 20 games OVER .500 (not UNDER)!!!\n\nIt's like all the pieces are coming together. I believe Jim Leyland is the key. He says it's the players, but he's keeping the players focused on TODAY, not next week.\n\nThey have won 14 out of thier last 15, and are currently \n2 1/2 games in front of the white sox.\n\nWill this last all season? I hope so, but I doubt it.\n\nThe white sox are just too good a team for us to over take (as much as I would love that!).\n\nWe might win the wild card...but seriously i would be very happy if they won 82=84 games (considering they havent seen .500 in 12 years).\n\nWe;ll see...the next 10 games will show us just how good they really are (2 more with Cleveland, 4 with the evil yankees, and 3 with the equally evil red sox).

i feel like WE(titans) have better coaches...the dolphins have better players...kevin carter and Lance S came from the titans..two first round running backs two underrated QBs...a stacked defensive line and past probowlers every where..your making me feel bad..we have a old Mcnair that plays hurt..he doesnt even practice to friday and plays sunday...1 vet wr that has had a 1000 yard season...we have potienial at the TE and WR and DLine..Randy Starks just made 21 and has played for 2 years..running backs are hohum and the Oline is getting old..i could go on ..bottom line is the dolphins have the better team.........but so did USC
