Mark Davis — just leave!

[Desert Rat]

No #BusinessAcumen?

No acumen at all.

A silver spoon baby that inherited an NFL franchise, pretty hard to fuck that up.

Correct, I just posted it as an example of Marks mismanagement.

He cheated to circumvent the salary cap and is getting sued by a former player as well as being investigated by the WNBA.

The Disarray and ‘Stone Age’ Dysfunction of the Las Vegas Raiders (Published 2022)

Former employees described an N.F.L. franchise bedeviled by executive departures, poor financial management, unpaid electric bills and a raft of firings, payouts and N.D.A.s.

How a ‘boys club’ Raiders culture fueled turnover, lawsuits and harassment claims

A ‘boys club’ culture fueled turnover, lawsuits and harassment claims according to people who worked for the NFL team in Oakland and Las Vegas

It never ends with this guy, its literally what dysfunction looks like.

What a disaster

Separate from the alleged harassment and discrimination issues. It's just crazy how they will just nickel and dime you on pay and expenses. No OT. All of it.

Meanwhile the organization can piss away hundreds of thousands or maybe millions on just stupid things that noone even questions.

I would tell Mark to eat a big bag of dicks but why bother?

 

[DonkeyKilla]

This season, but let’s be real their record since reds been there is far better than ours in that time frame.

Red was a far better GM than Mayock was here. Which granted doesn’t say much. But I bet teams like Carolina or Cleveland would love a shot at him as thier gm

You don't think he'd take the job if offered? what are you even on about?

yes he would, doesn't mean it's been offered. I'm sure there people better than we have but our ownership isn't
smart enough to look for them.

He's referring to the PF Chang's in Emeryville that closed once the Raiders left.

I think he's misremembering the atmosphere though. It literally had duct tape on the seats.

 

[TIBERIUS]

He’s hired guys like Reggie who were well respected around the league, McD who’s been around for a while but is universally hated. All that failed so trying something different makes sense in all honesty

And what is the one constant in all of the hirings that went south?

Davis.

Shocking it is now closed. Where's Taffer when you need him?

Thanks to the Blot for the post. Anytime I can get me some Gru....makes my day.

It just came back to me. But I don't even know why it's so important.

I went to a PF Chang's in Sherman Oaks once to meet with a lawyer. I remember it was pretty nice. Food was good. But I'm not eating there everyday.

I would think the local place should have been pretty nice too. But I have no idea.

Not sure why any of it matters. Why Gruden matters.

It’s not terrible. Kind of the Red Lobster of Chinese food I guess. So many better actual Chinese restaurants though.

In addition to giving some cred to Blot, this guy is referencing that blob who "resurrects" bars in the same post.

The end of times is near...is there a way to cash in on my reaction score for EBT credits?

Thoughts on Vrabel and Brady....

For now, the former player-turned-coach getting the most hype around the league is former Titans head coach and current Browns consultant Mike Vrabel. As owners look around at the league’s successful head coaches, the culture-builders stand out (think Dan Campbell, Mike Tomlin and Raheem Morris). Vrabel fits into that category, a former player who can unite a locker room while holding his players accountable. Vrabel was a finalist for the Chargers and Falcons jobs last year. He wants to coach in 2025 and I expect him to have his pick of available jobs.

• Speaking of Vrabel, a decision-maker expecting to make a coaching change pointed out to me a trend they are focused on bringing to their team for 2025: a physical brand of football. Pointing to the Chargers, Chiefs, Packers, Lions and Eagles, he made it clear that this season has proven running the football is part of a winning foundation. Trends always make their way back around!

• New Raiders minority owner Tom Brady represents “excellence,” according to Raiders majority owner Mark Davis. While Brady is busy broadcasting for Fox and may have only 10 percent equity in the Raiders, I expect his involvement in running the team to be closer to 90 percent. We already know the organization wants to lean on Brady when picking a future quarterback. One of Davis’s strengths is his openness to listening to experienced football people, and he values Brady’s understanding of what it takes to win at a high level.

Yes! I'll drink the 2025 kool-aid. Call it future-aid!

It’s too early to say whether Ben Johnson, the Detroit Lions’ highly regarded offensive coordinator, will become a head coach, but he is widely considered one of the top candidates. Despite interest last season, he chose to remain with the Lions to continue to learn and grow. With that in mind, the playcaller hopes to work with a strong owner and quarterback, but I’m told he will be particular about his pick. We’ll see if this is the cycle when he decides to jump in.

• Coach Prime isn’t landing at The Star. The 57-year-old University of Colorado coach and Pro Football Hall of Fame cornerback has said publicly he wants to stay in college football, despite some theories that Jerry Jones is targeting his former star. Sanders holds an 11-10 record over two seasons with the Buffaloes, and as of now, I have not spoken to a team decision-maker interested in bringing Sanders in as an NFL head coach. (A real shame; his sunglasses would be perfect for that glaring sun in Dallas.)

I’m sure he would choose the train wreck known as the Raiders to finish off his career in the dumpster. Forget it. No way he would pick Las Vegas. He’ll have plenty of better options.
