They need to have some stability... give that Allen guy more than one year. How long have people been saying this for? Then again Gruden was the last coach that made the Raiders relevant & he got along with Al Davis...who knows.

If this is true that's totally f**ked up towards Dennis Allen considering his Dad just passed away like today or something. At least wait til the season ends, sheesh.

Good move by Reggie McKenzie. Cannot be any worse than Dennis Allen.

Giants win another world series, A's make the playoffs and look to be even better next year, we win the superbowl this year. Sharks are always good (when theres hockey), and I think the Warriors make the playoffs this year too.
Not to mention the new stadiums being built and a superbowl coming in a few years.

this!

If this happens, I'm more than certain Gruden implants Alex Smith within his west-coast system next season. Alex wouldn't have to move his family, and Gruden admitted to wanting Smith on the Bucs (during his tenure there) throughout numerous MNF broadcasts.

I could see this happening.

Alex would have to be an upgrade over the suck that has been Palmer in Oakland.

First thing that came to my mind. Maybe the go after Jake Long in FA and draft a stud receiver too...
