Ziegs camp has to be the one leaking stuff to Hondo, right?

So why was Jimmy G hired? Bitch ass GM.

They were plants. I don’t trust Jimmy either. I don’t care if he cheers on the guys in the locker room. I don’t care he “put his body on the line”. He got a check, he had to put his body on the line. Who wouldn’t for 20+ million plus dollars. It just reeks really fuckin bad of behind the scenes bullshit going on. I implore the NFL take ahold of JMD and Jimmy G’s phones to investigate any conversation that may have occurred before he brought him over.

I’ll take the titles word for it, I can’t bear to listen to that dude talk for 35 minutes.

When has the HC being the GM ever actually worked? I swear, it was so incredibly obvious that one of the biggest issues with Gruden was going to be his control of the roster. Then you go and do the same fucking thing with the next HC hire.

When is Davis going to learn hire a fucking good GM, then work with him to hire a good HC. They don’t have to be best friends or even know each other. The GM should have a lot of scouting and roster building experience. Obviously you want guys that can work with eachother. Like obviously if the HC likes someone or dislikes someone they can work together to move talent around. But we should never hire someone at HC who has unchecked roster power again.

That is a hideous building

I thought Hondo didn’t know shit, so why are we believing this now? Confirmation bias?

Tired of having fake GMs that cower to a mediocre coach.

Look at the Steelers organization. Kevin Colbert was GM for 2 different coaches and was responsible for getting the coaches hired and picking players. It shouldn’t be the opposite way.

Ultimately, it was on Zieg to attach himself to McD in the first place so he deserves blame for bad moves like this even if he didn’t have the same personnel power.

Wow Mcdaniels wore the pants in that relationship.

If that’s from Hondo it’s the fucking truth.

Just another example of why it’s a horrible decision to let the coach have final say on personnel. It’s shocking that some people still want Harbaugh to get the job. We’d be repeating literally every mistake.

Funny, when my boss and I disagree, she tells me what the correct thought process should be.

Old news time to move on Raider nation.

As much I hated McDaniels. If dude was making the money he was making, he wasn’t going to defer to GM. Especially at the QB position. That was probably the decision that ultimately cost McDaniels his job. Which is weird in a sense that Raiders also drafted AOC. But my all accounts, that was who Zig wanted and convinced him they should draft. His hubris was out of control.

There doesn’t really seem to be any negative stories about Zeigler. Unless i missed a story. Very likely

Dave just kinda be under McD control.
