If
I was the General Manager
Another bad year for sports...well for me at
least. My Raiders will not being going to the playoffs, Donovan McNabb
(my favorite player) is done for the year, and my Dodgers suck. The
sport gods must not like me.
I'm a huge Raider fan so it pains me to say
this; I hope they lose the rest of their games. I say this because I
want the Raiders to get a high pick the draft. By the way, I don't care
what you infindels think. The Raiders are very close to being a great
team.
What would I do if I was the GM? Well for
starters Oakland needs a new coach. Norv Turner sucks harder than a
desperate hooker. Hey Norv! How the hell can you have Randy Moss
and Jerry Porter and not light up the score board? Moss is "hurt", and
he knows there is no point in busting his ass anymore, and quite
frankly I don't blame him. Besides its not like when the Raiders
are in the huddle Randy Moss says, "Nah
nah, fuck that. Check this out Kerry. I'm just gonna go deep. You just
chuck the ball down the field and I'll consider thinking about catching
it." I blame Norv Turner for not being able to use Randy Moss
effectively. Not to mention all the mistakes that out killing the team.
Someone get Tom Flores on the phone please!!! Not going to happen but I
can still dream right?
All kidding aside, if it was my call I would be
going after Eric Mangini. He's the defensive cordinator for the
Patriots. Why him? Well when the Pats were riddled with injuries last
sesson, he was still able to make the defense work. That's pretty
impressive if you ask me. Yes he might be young, but Al Davis loves to
take chances when it comes to hiring head coaches.
If Mangini is a no go, I would go
after the defensive coordinator for Notre Dame, Rick Minter or the offensive coordinator/running
back coach Michael Haywood. Why do I like these two guys from
the Fighting Irish? Because anyone working underneath Charlie Weis, is
a possiable good choice. Wouldn't hurt bringing in all three of these
coaches in for an interview after firing Norv Turner's ass.
The next guy that needs to go is Kerry Collins.
The guy plays scared, fumbles the ball too much, and always seems to
make mental mistakes. Marques Tuiasosopo might do a better job, but that's
not saying much. Time to draft another QB Raiders!!! If the my team can
finish 4-12 they might have a shot at a very good pick. I would love it
if the Raiders drafted Matt Leinart. I think he could fit well in the
Raiders' system. He would have a lot of offensive weapons to use.
Leinart could make Randy Moss a very happy man. If getting Leinart
doesn't happen, I could live with trying to get someone in the NFL
now. A couple guys come to my mind. Matt Schaub and Billy Volek.
So there you go people. That is what I would do
if I was the Raiders GM. You might not agree, and I really don't give a
shit if you do.
That's all I have to say.
Talk to ya later...
