Report: Raiders leaning toward Aidan O'Connell as starting quarterback Sunday vs. Giants

New Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce's first decision may be to bench Jimmy Garoppolo and replace him with rookie Aidan O'Connell.

Owners out there lighting money on fire. He got a 6 year contract in 2022.

McDaniels was a complete disaster in both opportunities plus he ditched the Colts last minute.

Can't see how he ever gets another HC job in NFL.

Can't see how he ever gets another HC job in NFL.

With the average amount of income an NFL team hauls in and the Raiders doing even better than the average, I don't think there is too much thought given to eating a contract of a HC. In all probability, their income will continue to increase in future years.

The Las Vegas Raiders also have a relatively new stadium in the hottest market in sports. The team pulled in over $90 million in ticket revenue last season, tops in the NFL. And with a vast lineup of non-NFL events, including concerts and soccer games, the Raiders raked in another $70 million-plus, also a league high. All told, the Raiders are worth $6.2 billion, 22% more than a year ago.

During the 2022 season, average revenue for the league's 32 teams increased 8%, to $581 million, while operating income (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) fell 14%, to an average of $126 million, due to a big year-over-year increase in player benefits that were deferred because of the pandemic.

Too many teams hold on to coaches and GM's because it's "early days" even though all those early days have shown is that they are garbage.

This was the right move. Zeigler has been trash. Blew their high first round pick on trash Tyree Wilson. Brought in garbage Jimmy G while moving out a better QB, albeit not by much. Both his drafts have been meh and McDaniels has been garbage as a HC, as he was before.

Had to eat a lot of money to do it but right move. All they would bring are more years of mediocrity.

Josh McDaniels has been a horrible HC, it was dumb to hire him after his disaster in Denver. He will go back and be the OC for the Pats next year.

Don't know the money involved, but am guessing he's in VG financial shape.

Dunno. The Raiders are one of the most cash-poor organizations in the NFL. Mark Davis may still be paying off Jon Gruden and his staff.

How bad must McDaniels be to be fired by an owner who is willing to pay the contract money though the owner has no money

 

[TheCardFan]

This didn't age well.

What's crazy is that it was clear McDaniels was a terrible mistake last year and David reportedly was too cash-poor then. It'll be interesting to hear if anything happened to precipitate this. Maybe they found a way to clip him for cause.

My brother in-law is there. I've texted him, but crickets. Heard nothing back.

Has Chandler Jones tweeted about this yet

Cash poor is fake news. They may be poor cap wise but Davis is not cash strapped.

Mark Davis paid $6 million for the 6.32-acre lot in August 2020, and the 15,046 square foot home is located in a private luxury community called Ascaya. A city permit states that the mansion will include five bedrooms and ten bathrooms and will be valued at $14 million.

As that house was being built, in March 2021 Mark paid $5.3 million or a condo in Summerlin, Nevada. The two-bedroom condo has 2,800 square feet of living space and comes with a HOA fee of more than $35,000 PER MONTH! Mark sold this condo in January 2023 for $10 million, a $3.5 million discount to the $13.5 million he had been seeking at one point.

He also purchased Vegas’s WNBA team.

His net worth is $2.3 billion (2023)

AOC is a fan favorite. The kid can ball and he isnt as tentative as Jimmy GQ

similar to how fans here want to see Tune because Dobbs wouldnt throw deep... But AOC is a bit better than Tune ,,,,

So to summarize the Raiders;
Garbage
Trash

Meh
Garbage
Mediocrity

Talking about big leap, College DC to NFL Interim HC in less than two years.

I don't know what you think this proves. This is not unusual rich-people stuff.

The cash flow requirements for operating an NFL franchise are like an order of magnitude or more greater. For most other NFL organizations, these numbers are a rounding error.

 

[BurqueCardFan]

Wow, I never could have saw that coming. He did such a great job his first time around with Denver.
The good ole boys club of re-hiring all these trash coaches is a joke. Same with the coordinators (I'm talking to you Mike McCoy, Vance Joseph, etc...).

Another organization that struggles to blend football people with intelligence, and letting people do their jobs.
