Wow. Surprising especially since we are in week 4 of the NFL Season. Raiders do look horrible however a coaching change will do little impact. 

 

The person who really needs to be fired is the GM: Reggie McKenzie.

Yikes I figured either Miami or Tampa would strike first. The ghost of Al Davis is still haunting those halls for sure.

[CR91]

the raiders are gonna suck forever. absolutey no stability, no foundation, and no identity

Lovie sucked for years up in Chicago, and he'll do the same in Tampa. There's just enough talent in Tampa to hide his coaching deficiencies for a few years

They won today so he is safe for now.

It looks like the report might be false.

Way to go media! +1

[PrincetonTiger]

If this is true it won't make a difference

[Andrew Luck's Beard]

And in other news, Pep Hamilton's job is safe!

 

For one more week, at least... :O

[LordHelpOurColts]

The Raiders are the scourge of the earth

When the team puts up the most yards in any two game span in team history. Yes it is.

They enjoy the pain.

This actually does not surprise me at all. lol

[thedude]

Of course he's going to be fired.  Most people knew that before the season started.  The only question is when?  Before or after their bye week?

Now would be the time. Fire him & let the next coach come up with a plan for the Superchargers in two weeks.

[Colts_Fan12]

He's on the hottest la confora said it today he may be fired soon

[Bluefire4]

But.. but.. the Raiders had the best offseason.

[oldunclemark]

Raiders are 0-4, right?

with 2 games with KC left...2 games with San Diego left

,.and 2 games with Denver left..and the entire NFC West..still to pla

If they call you....turn the job down..

Who said that?

[TKnight24]

Plenty of the media and even some here on this very forum

I love Raider fans.

Not sure how signing a 30 year old RB in MJD and signing old veterans on defense is considered a "win".

I must have missed that. The Raiders had a weird offseason, to say the least. I don't remember anyone being excited about it. 

[Dr. Guildo]

Cub fans too & when they join forces.

Same thing I said, but hey..... It's the media. Sometimes it's just not worth questioning their comments

Not to mention voiding Veldheer's contract, who, by the way, is playing pretty well for the Cardinals.

Couple NFL network guys

Guess cause they signed Schuab, Woodley, got Mack in the draft, Rogers, etc etc

Now they see, the raiders are Still the raiders

Meh, I only remember Mike Silver being extremely irritated with the Raiders.

 

But I do think they had a good draft. Mack, Carr, Jackson, McGill...

To be fair, Donald Penn has played well in his spot.

I can't remember exactly who on NFL network was foaming about it but I so believe it was a few football players (ex-football players)

I don't think any of the coaches like Mooch or Cowell were impressed.

Can't remember who

[Superman]

To be fair, Donald Penn has played well in his spot. They overpaid him though.

 

Yeah, it was just a very weird situation that didn't make any sense at the time. And each game Veldheer plays kind of undermines their failed physical. But whatever, not my problem.

Probably Warren Sapp. He likes everything that a team does. 

[oldunclemark]

Who said that?

some folks who smoke a lot of weed

The Dennis Allen hire was a mistake from the start.  As for the McKenzie, a lot of people on these forums wanted us to bring him in when we let go of the Polians.

here we are.

Very classless move Raiders... calling Allen that he's fired instead of meeting him in person.

 

Again breaking news On FOX Sports: Raiders just called Dennis Allen and informed him he is fired

Charlie Weis called and said he's available

[MTC]

Raiders interim head coach is expected to be Tony Sparano, per Raiders beat writer. 

[bap1331]

The HC is not the problem. Youve got a rookie QB whos learning. Gosh, some teams are just so impatient. Apparently Oakland thinks that firing their coach will take them to the Super Bowl next season..

[Dr. Guildo]

The man is now officially done.
