DBAHO Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Big loss for Da Boys, he turned Quincy's game around this year, The last NFL head coaching vacancy is about to be filled. Cowboys top assistant Sean Payton has agreed in principle to be the next head coach of the Raiders, ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli confirmed Tuesday. Payton will sign a four-year deal for between $1.3 and $1.5 million per year, according to Pasquarelli. The Raiders have not confirmed the deal, but will announce it at a Thursday news news conference, according to Pasquarelli. Various newspapers had reported earlier Tuesday that a deal between Payton and the Raiders was imminent. Payton was stripped of play-calling duties by then-Giants coach Jim Fassel in 2002 and joined Bill Parcells' staff in Dallas last season. He was credited with helping quarterback Quincy Carter, who started all 16 games and threw for 3,302 yards with 17 touchdowns and 21 interceptions. Cowboys offensive coordinator Maurice Carthon had been considered the other finalist for the job. "I'm out of the running," Carthon told the Contra Costa Times on Tuesday. "They're going to go in a different direction. Sean's going to get that job. He's out there now working out the details, and it could be announced later (Tuesday). Sean's their guy."

greasywheels121 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Wow, The Raiders actually went cheaper for a coach than the Bears Remember how they asked if Marino's job as the GM for Miami was just to stand-in to draw more people to Miami? This is almost what this is, except Sean Payton won't attract anyone. Al Davis is the coach of that team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 This could only happen to da Raiders. Sounds very similar to the McGinnis fiasco before Jauron was hired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Sounds very similar to the McGinnis fiasco before Jauron was hired. Ah yes, if we ever feel that we are run by the worst owners in the NFL, there is always Al Davis to laugh at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Yea I saw that same thing. Talks have broken off and he's staying with the Cowboys. OAK, still Coachless. Have ya noticed that this is coach #3 on the Cowboys staff that has interviews, accepted in principle another job and at the last minute decides to stay in Dallas? They've got something big planned... like getting a good running back and a decent QB? If they do that, they'll be pretty dangerous next year because they have a decent o-line, great defense, great receivers, etc. They're just missing a running back and QB (not that important, hehe).
