how do you know.

When we were in the Super Bowl, we had energetic coaches and upper management (Jon Gruden, Bruce Allen). But Al Davis threw them out because Al likes to run this team like an emperor, and won't let the coaches/management do their thing.

Gruden was not our coach when were in the Super Bowl.

There comes a time when a leader has to step down or relinquish his power, and that time should have been 5 years ago. As it stands, Al Davis refuses to give up any of his power, and that is severely hampering our team.

A good team needs good coaching and good upper management. Davis is not managing the team well, and we'll never have good coaching because Davis wants too much control and nobody really good wants to coach here. So for that reason, the Raiders will never be great until the day Al Davis relinquishes his power or steps down.

Al just needs to hang it up and stop running this team into the ground.

just walk away...
