GoSox05 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 12:55 PM) It's a good thing they let Jackson trade away 1st round draft picks to obtain a bad QB that couldn't lead them to the playoffs in a garbage division. I would have fired him for that trade alone. Just awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raiders were careless with trading of first round picks long before Jackson showed up.

Soxfest Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Raiders fired coach Hue Jackson. We knew this was a realistic possibility once the Raiders brought in GM Reggie McKenzie, as Jackson was still fighting for more power with owner Mark Davis. Had Jackson made the playoffs and not ransacked the franchise's future for Carson Palmer, there's a good chance he'd still be in charge. Packers LBs coach Winston Moss and DBs coach Darren Perry have been mentioned as potential replacements. Fantasy-wise, the coaching change is bad news for Darren McFadden and the Oakland receivers, as Jackson maximized their talents with creative scheming and aggressive play-calling. Rotoworld Trading the first round picks for Palmer is 100% on Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MexSoxFan#1 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 11:11 AM) Not sure if this has been said, but isn't Ruskell's contract the same length as Lovie's? Would it be so horrible, since they already have Lovie here with the new GM, to put Ruskell in for a year, see how they do and if they fail miserably, to jettison the bunch and start fresh without having to pay double salaries? I know it isn't the best position, but as has been said, the Bears painted themselves into a corner...this is the way out. Unless they succeed...then we are all screwed.

MexSoxFan#1 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 12:31 PM) There are 4 or 5 McCaskey boys, and there are grandkids. Unless there is some crazy scenario where they all decide to sell(the family owns an 80 percent stake in the Bears), you better sit back and accept the fact that the McCaskeys will be at the top of the organizational pyramid for the rest of your days Is it too late in my life to switch teams?A cheesehead perhaps! Seriously though, I'm hoping for a Rocky Wirtz scenario, maybe one of the younger ones isn't football retarded, I can only hope and pray for my kid's sake.

They didn't win the SB that year so I agree. Don't get me wrong, the 49ers will be contenders the next few years but I don't think they'll beat the smoking hot Saints, but we shall see.

I'm just saying that when it comes to spending money, the current regime is very similar to old Mr. Halas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
