Sounds eerily similar to what happened with Mac and the Bears back in the day.

WOW Cardinal fans feeling sorry for another team.

Now that's bad.

This morning in local radio they were asking people to call in if they knew who Sean Payton was. EVeryone was ripping the hire, regular radio not sports. I just ran out to Home Depot, same station, and now callers are ripping the Raiders because Payton rejected the job! Pretty funny, didn't want him, but apparently don't like that he rejected the job either.

as one astute DJ put it, let's see 2 years ago Jim Fassel DEMOTED Payton and the offense promptly took off and made a playoff run. Then he gets canned and Bill Parcells hires him. Then Parcells personally tutors Quincy Carter(as we all saw on ESPN over and over), and apparently all this convinced Al Davis that Payton was qualified to be the head coach?

What's funny is I personally think Art Shell would be a good hire, I know AZCB34 and I discussed him before as a guy who would be a reasonable hire for the Cards if we couldn't get a better coach. Davis is amazing, he is just determined to hire someone that everyone scoffs at, so that when he wins, he can say I'm smarter than you.

The Bill Walsh rumor is being resurrected right now on Bay Area radio.

At this rate we may end up with local sports reporter Gary Radnich as the next Raider coach.

Rumor has it that Section 11 will be the next Raider coach.

You would think that this could only happen to the Cardinals?!

I thought about taking the job, but there's no way I could work for Al Davis. The money, fame and fun just can't compete-it's just not enough to get me out of my unemployed student status.

I was a ballboy for EIU when Payton was the QB. He was an excellent QB and was also a very intelligent and personable guy. He was a person that was respected by everyone that knew him.

I don't remember which NYC daily, but there was a major story centered around how difficult it is to work for Big Al and how the coaching-grapevine around the NFL gets the word out to prospective HC coaching candidates (like Peyton).

Are we emerging into a new era where people in the coaching profession pass up one of the 32 rare opportunities to become an NFL head coach because they want to protect themselves and loved ones from the nightmarish affects of working for someone with a reputation of being a really bad boss?

Times they do change. I look at this as a good sign.

Which 1/2?

I'd assume the top, since Husker fans already have all of the heads.

But, really, who's going to want a bunch of Frank Solich bottoms?
