I have read that the Raiders selection of Del Rio is puzzling the 'experts' and that Mark Davis personally picked him because he wanted to be personally involved this time. Here are some quotes from Davis on the new coach.
"I really like Jack El Camino. He has a great name."
"Jack embodies what it takes to be a Raider. He is tough and rugged like a pickup truck, yet he has the speed and agility of a car. Kind of a pickup truck-car combo."
"As soon as I met Coach El Camino, I knew he was right for the job. Before he even said a word, I knew it. Turns out I was right because he ended up getting the job. I still don't know what he sounds like when he talks. I am looking forward to that."
"Reggie Mac thought Jack was a brat, but I knew better."
"I would like to start this press conference by thanking John Elway. Did you guys see that?!? Does he come off goofy and stupid or what? And that haircut of his? Man."
"I can judge a man's character pretty darn good. I asked Coach El Camino if he wanted some of my strawberry pop-rocks. And he said, why not? Suckers are loud when you eat them!"
"The biggest mistake I made before was not being involved in the head-coach-searching-for process. And we ended up with a guy who was the defensive coordinator for the Broncos and we tried to make him the head coach. And how did that work out. This time, I was not just involved in the head-coach-searching-for-process, I ran it, man. I ran it! Did you guys see me?!?"
"Cool! Legos!"
"It was down to Jack and the Soprano guy. No, it's pronounced Soprano, I should know. But what turned the tide for me was one guy buries a football and the other guy has a stump in his lockerroom that players hit with an axe. And one of the players had to be IR'd because he ended up hitting himself in the leg with that axe. How can you pass that up?"
