The raiders organization is little more than a joke. The fact that they were almost to the point of having high school coaches turn them down says quite a bit of where they stand. I'm saying nothing about the talent of their roster, I'm speaking of their front office and all that. If Art Shell can get a decent staff under him, and REALLY BIG IF the front office makes smart moves, they could be good very soon...dunno if those ifs will be satisfied though...it is Al Davis afterall.
MY FIRST POST, just like a big boy.

welcome onebum ;)
hard to choose between the fords, the bidwells and davis for worst owner... at least the raiders have two #1 receivers and a good power back.

You are right! Da Raidarz are a joke to the rest of the NFL, and nearly all of the NFL talking heads. Oh, well!
We need the answer to #3. And, oh, by the way, what kind of Pie?

You know the Raiders offered me their Head coaching job but I turned it down. I've got better things to do than be Al Davis's puppet.

i am not a big fan of shell's but i do agree he deserves a shot as much as guys like jauron...
but i think oakland is a wasteland and davis is a meddling idiot

Wow, I think it was Peter King who first reported that Shell might be back but I didn't think it would really happen. He definitely deserved another shot, kinda strange he didn't have that second shot much earlier.
what is really strrange is that he is going back to the same team.. when is the last time that happened?

Don't be suprised to see PR show up on their radar screen. He may fit in well them. Big arm to compliment the vertical passing attack. Not sure what they Oakland is willing to give up for him though.
last time we sent them a qb, they gave us an all pro tackle in return

yeah,i read were they wanted al saunders and thats why the whole thing happened so fast in washington.5 out of the 6 seasons for shells last go round ended up in playoff appearences.but i do agree with you 12thman,davis could be the worst owner in the nfl.and thats saying alot with the bidwells still around
the bidwells are cheap but i do not think they make all the personnel decisions. davis still has control. plus he hired all the assistant coaches. who would want to come steer the titanic?

Last time a coach went back to the same team? um, I guess Joe Gibbs. But you probably mean back to the same team he was fired from. In which case, the closest I can think of is Gunther Cunningham being fired as Chiefs HC but coming back to be defensive coordinator.
Even if he does well, I'm sure Davis will look to replace him next year if he can find someone. Shell is to Davis what Unseld used to be to Pollin. Just someone loyal who can fill in when needed until something else comes along.
