Urban Meyer Next Oakland Raiders Coach ????
RAIDERS GOING URBAN?
Amid a growing wave of rancor that's conjuring bad memories of the failed Bill Callahan experiment (not the Super Bowl year, but last season), we're hearing indications that coach Norv Turner might get the one-and-done treatment in Oakland. Word is that the Raiders have their eyes on Urban Meyer of Utah. We're picking up unconfirmed reports that the Raiders had an informal meeting with Meyer following the Utes' 51-28 win at San Diego State on Saturday. The Raiders, coincidentally, played the Chargers in the same venue the next day. And the 42-14 thumping the Raiders took at the hands of San Diego's pro team surely did little to dampen Al Davis' interest in the guy who'd bested the day before San Diego's college team. Apparently, there is interest on both sides. Meyer, we're told, fits Davis' formula for hiring head coaches: he's young, he can put together a vertical passing game, he's innovative, and he's not yet to big for his britches (so Al can control him). Stay tuned.

If I were Meyer I'd say thanks but no thanks!!! and your last sentence is the very reason... If Al wants to win consistently he has to give up this idea he can and will control his coach. Without autonomy no Raider coach will have much success.

Good read,I say look into that possiblity next season..I don't think Norv is the answer as a head coach for his past record would indicate he is not cut out to be the head guy but rather as a cord. of some kind..I'm all for wholesale change's if it makes this team better and more competitive once again!

If Al wants to control the team he needs to drag his ol bones from the luxury suites down to field level.

I don't know how likely this is, but I would love to see this happen. Eight weeks into the season and I have seen enough.
We need to replace currly mullet Ryan and his creative (stupid) defense as well.

I posted this this morning in the Rumor Mill. It is from Pro Football Talk.Com. They often post some wild stuff. I was looking for Willis to confirm or deny.

I think the fans should get to vote for the coach. Let's look at it this way. We as fans are sort of like taxpayers right? Since we buy tickets, beers, pay for parking, and buy merchandise. SO in a way you could look at that revenue as "taxes". Let's say Al Davis gets to pick 3 coaching candidates and then we all vote. We pay their salaries, but we have no say? We go to games and support the team, but we have no say? That sounds like a one way relationship to me. Some fans (and I don't include myself) are very football smart and I think we would do a fine job in choosing a coach...
I feel like I'm taking it in the shorts by this organization...
