RAIDER NATION Season THREAD:

[MajinZuub]

I really don't think he's going back to college

 

[swendro]

Haha it may not be the Bay Area, but Ann Arbor is a legit town.

What successful nfl coach got run out of town the same season his alma mater has a job opening?

Who's to say he can't come back to the NFL 7,8,9 years down the line? Take over a team that's on the cusp and take one more run at the Super Bowl.

 

[HNL HI]

seems like you got it all figured out.

 

[swendro]

No, I don't. I just think there's much more to consider than these so called NFL experts have led people to believe.

I wouldn't be surprised one way or the other really.

We'll know soon enough.

 

[MajinZuub]

You know damn well nobody in here is going to read fun facts about Ann Arbor

 

[swendro]

It's just a simple list...of lists.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Did anybody actually open up link?


Nobody gives a **** about Michigan in here

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

I don't think he'll head to Michigan, but it wouldn't necessarily shock me either. I just don't think he's going to give up on the pro game like that.

 

[laker4lifeman]

Isn't college worse with all this supporter pressure? I won't be shocked if he goes to Miami or Michigan. Let's hope his wife wears the khaki pants in the relationship.

With No Stadium on Horizon, Chances Dim for a Move to Los Angeles in 2015

By KEN BELSON
December 14, 2014

The chances of an N.F.L. team’s moving to Los Angeles next season may be dimming.

The Oakland Raiders, the San Diego Chargers and the St. Louis Rams are considered the leading candidates to settle there because they have the potential to exit their stadium leases next year.

But Commissioner Roger Goodell said last week that while the league continued to look for a site for a new stadium to host a team, no resolution was in sight.

“I’m not at the point where I would tell you that anything is imminent or that we have a solution identified at this point in time,” Goodell said Wednesday after team owners met in Irving, Tex. “There is progress, but we’ve all heard that before.”

Discussions with league officials and owners on the sidelines of the meeting confirmed that the prospect of an N.F.L. team’s playing in 2015 in Los Angeles — which has not had a team for two decades — was increasingly unlikely.

AEG, which has proposed building a stadium downtown near Staples Center, received a six-month extension in October to try to work out a deal with the city, which wants a new convention center on the site to replace the aging one there now.

The N.F.L. favors that site over others that have been suggested in Carson, Inglewood and the City of Industry. But in a game of cat and mouse, no one appears willing to build a stadium until a team has committed to moving.

Complicating matters, Los Angeles’s mayor, Eric Garcetti, has said he is unwilling to subsidize the construction of a stadium.

At various points, the Rams have been considered front-runners to move to Southern California, in part because the team’s owner, Stan Kroenke, bought a large plot of land in Inglewood where, in theory, he could build his own stadium.

The Rams were unable to reach an agreement with the regional sports authority in St. Louis to refurbish the Edward Jones Dome, the team’s current home.

But before Thanksgiving, Dave Peacock, the chairman of the St. Louis Sports Commission and a former chief executive of Anheuser-Busch, met at the N.F.L.’s headquarters with Eric Grubman, the league’s point man on Los Angeles.

Peacock shared with Grubman preliminary plans for a stadium near the Mississippi River and north of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, as well as ideas for other potential sites, according to several people with knowledge of their meeting.

Peacock and other business leaders were appointed by Gov. Jay Nixon of Missouri to come up with plans for a new Rams stadium in St. Louis by the end of January.

According to the league’s relocation rules, owners must negotiate in good faith with their host cities about stadiums until all possibilities have been exhausted.

It is unclear whether the plans shown to Grubman were conceptual or fully developed. As in all cases, finding the money to pay for a stadium is critical.

Nixon said last month that funding for a new stadium was possible because the bonds issued to pay for the Edward Jones Dome would be retired in a few years.

The Rams are not the only team in search of a new stadium. The Raiders, who play in the old O.co Coliseum, have struggled to find a new stadium in Oakland and have spoken with officials in San Antonio. The Raiders also remain popular in Los Angeles, where they played in the 1980s and ’90s.

When asked about the possibility of the Raiders’ returning to Los Angeles, Grubman said, “The Raiders name is so storied that it would benefit the league.”

Boosters are a huge part of the coach hunt at power schools. They can just as easily **** up a search as they can secure a great hire. From what I've heard/read, Michigan's boosters are a dysfunctional bunch and are demanding elite talent. This often leads to mediocre candidates who can convince enough of the boosters that they are the right choice and thus overwhelm some administrations. I suspect Michigan will be suffering the same fate shortly.

 

[HNL HI]

What you guys think about Brian Kelly?

I hate schefters tweet, no real info about what direction. its got my mind wandering.

 

[willie mcfly22]

Gruden signs extention thru 2021. So whoever was wishin can stop...

Adam is a Broncos fan he was the main guy starting the Gruden rumor . Just give me Jim or Rex. I'm not sure about Holmgren

 

[HNL HI]

No Holmgren. We need someone from this generation.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

i want Todd Bowles if we don't get Harbaugh

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

No to Holmgren as well.

 

[albooboo]

give me Riverboat Ron if he gets fired.

 

[blakmn89]

Not shocked chucky signed the extension remember him doing an interview talking about how being a HC stressful & he wanted to watch his son play football. Even Gruden talk hope Jim or Rex our next HC & would you guys welcome back Tresman as OC?

 

[MajinZuub]

I didn't expect Gruden to want to come back. He's said he doesn't want to many times yet people kept saying "well you know he might come back if...". Hire Jim, Rex as D Coordinator and Trestman as O Coordinator and I would go crazy.

 

[HNL HI]

#1 pick would be ideal but we need to get ahead of at least one of either bucs or titans.

 

[The_Isomotion31]

No Holmgren. We need someone from this generation.

Even as a GM?
