MediaNews reports San Diego Chargers offensive coordinator Cam Cameron has turned down the Oakland Raiders' request for an interview regarding the team's vacant head coaching position.

I almost feel bad for the Raiders and Al Davis.

Glad he isn't taking every interview that's out there--it at least shows he is committed to coming here should things work out.

 

[arthurracoon]

well, good to hear that he accepted our request.

Wow... Amazing how such a historic franchise has fallen as far as it has. A team that any coach would love to lead back in it's hey day now has OC's turning down interview offers. Amazing...

Until Al Davis stops being such an idiotic ******, that franchise will suck and it will be a coaching nightmare.

I seriously think Davis is starting to suffer from Alzheimer's, or some other such debilitation. I wonder how that would be received in the NFL?

Its going to have to be an assistant coach already with the team. There might not be a team in the NFL more devoid of talent or rather talent that cares(Porter/Moss).

Their pass defense was good but a big part of that was that everyone could run on them, they gave up over 2100 yds rushing for the season, so why pass.

Rob Ryan is my prediction. He is their DC coach and well liked by the team.

Next coach for Oakland Raiders...







Dennis Green

 

[PJ1]

And we actually lost bad to this team.

 

[ajcardfan]

Maybe he did this to tell the Cardinals he really wants our job?

I doubt it, probably more of a slam on Davis, but that would be nice.

 

[Russ Smith]

Maybe he didn't want to lose to the Chargers twice a year against the offense he built?

 

[New Mexico]

His stock definately just went up in my book. Plus, L. Tomlinson was just interviewed on NBC prior to the Seahawks/Cowboys game, and when he was asked why the offense has been so explosive, he credited Cam Cameron, and said Cameron has been able to call all the plays without any imput from M. Shottenheimer. A bit of a slam on Marty Ball, but nice to hear Cameron get the credit.

 

[Redrage]

Nice slam against the Raydahs!

 

[Assface]

"Black hole" now refers to their head coaching job.

don't

 

[WildBB]

And we actually lost bad to this team.

And I think that was the end for Green.

 

[Boltpower 21]

Cameron turned down an interview from the Raiders last year as well.

I think it's safe to say any hot coaching prospect can turn down the Raiders and not hurt their chances.

 

[Russ Smith]

Supposedly Green is a candidate for Oakland too although not official yet.

Another rumor is that Calvin Johnson is trying to gauge the Raiders' interest in picking him #1 with the idea that if they will pick him, he'll stay at Georgia Tech one more year to avoid them. I've read that on 2 draft sites now, nobody has a quote from him of course they're just saying that Johnson isn't so much asking what is my draft status as, will the Raiders pick me.

 

[Faithful]

See things could be worse...at least the guys we asked to interview, accepted!!

Russ, I can't see Green giving up next years salary from the Cards by taking a coaching position in the NFL this year. Greens MO is one to take the money. It could be he did that to Minnesota to make a point.

He could take money for doing nothing, and then go back to ESPN or something, or he could take another 5 year deal with oakland and make more money in the long run.

 

[ARZCardinals]

That's sad for any Raiders fan. That team has a ton of holes. I'd get Coughlin if I were them.

Raiders | Davis looking for young offensive mind
Mon, 8 Jan 2007 12:17:35 -0800
Steve Corkran, of the Contra Costa Times, reports <A href="http://www.kffl.com/team/28/nfl">Oakland Raiders managing general partner Al Davis is looking towards a young coaching prospect with a bright offensive mind to serve as the team's next head coach. The Raiders were expected to interview Southern California assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach Steve Sarkisian Monday, Jan. 8



So much for DG goin there they want a young coaching prospect...DG is neither, he's not young and he can't coach

 

[Ed Burmila]

I can't believe what a joke the Raiders are. They used to be a successful franchise and now I think most coaching candidates would rather get AIDS than work for Al Davis.

That team was the worst I've ever seen on an NFL field this season. Art Shell? He was out of coaching for what, 10 years? And how Randy Moss can end up with like 600 yards for the season is beyond me - even with a lousy QB(s).
