Black Monday/Coaching Changes

[Boltjolt]

they fired Mike McCoy during the season- THAT should be worth something!

Didnt Chip Kelly get canned from someplace after one season? It won't hurt them.

I think Mayock is a bad GM hire. So much more to being a GM than the draft. He had never megotited a contract in his life or had to get free agents or manage a slry cap. John Lynch was in the same boat and they can blame their bad season on losing Garropolo but they still would have a losing record.

Knowing that Gruden is the de-facto GM, the hiring isn't all that consequential. Maybe Gruden thinks all he needs is a College evaluator that should be able to handle the scouts, and Gruden can do most of the pro-player personnel stuff. I do think this will all blow up, because Raiders.

Yes because Gruden has been so good at it lol. Gonna be a trainwreck.

Hey, he got extra draft picks... from playoff teams, lol. Gruden is the executive of the year... made two teams instantly better!

Not to mention he also gave up a 3rd round pick for a WR, that he first cut.....then brought back and then he ended up getting suspended from the league lol. Awesome use of a draft pick.

I actually like Mayock as a tv draft analyst. But that is as far as it goes for me. But realistically what real, qualified G.M. would want to go to the Raiders and be told what to do by Gruden?

Hard to judge Lynch yet. Theur injuries were a lot more than just garrapolo too.

Looks like they had three starters go on IR, and then Foster being Foster which was a big risk pick anyways. Not that bad really compared to other teams.

Because I went to HS with Lynch, I am rooting for him in Frisco. He is a smart guy from a football family.

John Lynch has been awful so far.

He traded up to draft Foster. Then when Foster started having issues he didn't go far enough to make sure those issues wouldnt happen again.

He got lucky with the Garropolo trade because Tom Brady wanted him gone and Kraft found a team to send him to.

Then there are the drafts:

2017(One good pick, thats it. And failed with the 3rd pick in the draft and then took a huge risk that failed)

Round 1(#3): DL Solomon Thomas: A huge bust for the #3 pick
Round 1: Linebacker Reuben Foster. Trade up for a player no longer on the team or any team
Round 3: CB Ahkello Witherspoon: Awful
Round 3: QB C.J. Beathard: Did not play well when given the opportunity
Round 4: RB Joe Williams: No longer on the team
Round 5: TE George Kittle: Awesome
Round 5: WR Trent Taylor: The rest of the draft has not done anything
Round 6: NT D.J. Jones
Round 6: LB Pita Taumoepenu
Round 7: S Adrian Colbert

2018(One good pick and one OK pick, although tough to fail on a top 10 pick like he did the year before)

Round 1(#9): OT Mike McGlinchey: Up and down season
Round 2: WR Dante Pettis: Not much of an impact
Round 3: LB Fred Warner: Good pick, good player
Round 3: CB Tarvarius Moore: meh
Round 4: DL Kentavius Street: The rest of the draft has not done anything
Round 5: S D.J. Reed
Round 6: S Marcell Harris
Round 7: DL Jullian Taylor
Round 7: WR Richie James

Thats 2 drafts with 2 good players, 1 player that is still undecided. And 16 picks that have not been good.

Tough to judge some of these guys as rookies but I do think Dante Pettis will be a good player and Mullins was a nice find as a UDFA.

So Lynch got lucky on a trade. Drafted 2 good players in 2 seasons. And got a 3rd string QB that can sometimes look respectable.

Not a good start.

Especially when you look at his failures
