AztecAlien Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Hired as the Raiders new head coach. https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/10152094-nfl-news-pete-carroll-raiders-reportedly-agree-to-3-year-contract-as-new-hc.amp.html Pete is getting up there, but hopefully he brings some energy and enthusiasm that the Raiders could definitely use. 2 Quote
CougarFrog Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Let's go Raiders! Love the hire! Let's go 9-8 next season! As a lifelong Raider fan, the last 20 years have been bad. Any winning record is a great success. 3 Quote

Mano Posted January 24 Posted January 24 I don't know about hiring a 73 year old coach to start a rebuild on a team. Not a long term solution, hope they have a succession plan in place. Quote
renoskier Posted January 24 Posted January 24 I used to hate the Raiders and the Cowboys... but they've both sucked so bad, for so long, that I hardly think of them at all anymore pathetic franchises with pathetic owners 3 1 Quote

We shall see what the Brady effect has in store. Quote

Need new owners. I kind of like Mark Davis, he is a good guy....but let's be honest. He's basically the modern day version of Arthur. Quote

Modern day diet and medicines I guess. Belichick is 72 about to embark on rebuilding UNC. Oh, I think his girlfriend attends UNC. lol Quote
SWspartan Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Carroll may be old in years but he's full of energy. He always running up & down the sidelines and in practice. He has a positive attitude with a good sense of humor. Kudos! 👍 2 Quote
BoneYardNIU Posted January 25 Posted January 25 I would have taken him to the Bears had they failed in acquiring Ben Johnson. Pete’s a legend. Quote
Tripoda Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Did you know Walter "Sweetness" Payton used to give pregame speech to UNLV basketball teams during the 90-91 season? Quote
