New coach ………. Again

[Raidernation1979]

What’s your thoughts? I prefer young offensive minded with a fresh DC. Kubiak, Cooter, Kafka and pair them with someone like Al Harris as the DC.

[Grumpy13]

I’ll stay on the same train of thought and throw this out there. Hire Signetti and draft Mendoza. Bring in a strong defensive coordinator, give them a solid three years for development and see where it goes.

[raiderjohn]

Raiders are a joke nationally, "what team fires 67% of their coordinators, but keeps 100% of his kids on staff."

[LayneStaley]

Kubiak or LaFleur, in that order.

Kingsbury is getting up there in age but he's a distant 3rd, and he's a douchebag for what he did to us before.

Yeah f[raiders_icon]ck Kingsbury.

[Attyla]

Yeah fck Kingsbury.

I don't take that stuff personally. He used us to improve his situation and it worked. He got the gig he wanted and got to coach the QB he wanted to coach and again it worked. So we got shafted, and I am sure nobody was happy. But we are getting our guy two years later and I am good with that, I want my QB of the future and I am about to get him. And Kingsbury? He will get his HC gig. Good for him, like every coach in the league that does not coach the Raiders, I hope he shits the bed but that is not special hatred for the guy.

YES, i was just thinking about this, this morning. Cignetti will be in high demand though if he can bring hoosiers a Title. I was reading up on him. Cignetti is a five-time conference coach of the year and a two-time national coach of the year. He is the only college football coach to have started 10–0 with two different teams in consecutive seasons, achieving this unique distinction with James Madison University in 2023 and Indiana University in 2024. During his first season at Indiana, he was named the Big Ten Coach of the Year after leading the Hoosiers to a program-record 11 wins and their first-ever College Football Playoff berth. In 2025, he repeated as Big Ten Coach of the Year as Indiana completed the first 12–0 regular season in school history and won their first Big Ten Conference title since 1967.. Keep him with his QB and Bring Mendoza and Cignetti to the Raiders

Coaching philosophy
Commentators and players have described Cignetti's programs as emphasizing tempo, physicality, and discipline with practices designed to be "fast, physical [and] relentless" while remaining "smart, disciplined [and] poised". He frequently frames execution as "one play at a time" with each snap treated independently to build consistency over the course of a game.[31][32]

Reporters covering Indiana's transition under Cignetti have highlighted a deliberate culture reset—professionalism, accountability, and a "winning mindset"—paired with higher practice tempo and tighter organization.[33] Cignetti has also said he prefers efficiency over sheer volume in practice, using fewer of the allowable sessions or hours and focusing on pace and organization to simulate game pressure.[31]

Analysts often connect Cignetti's approach to his time on Nick Saban's Alabama staff, particularly around evaluation, roster construction, and sustaining culture through clear expectations. In 2025, Saban said Indiana's rapid turnaround reflected Cignetti's evaluation and culture work amid frequent roster changes, adding that Cignetti "has done a really good job as a head coach".[34]

National coverage has characterized his public tone and on-field identity as unapologetically aggressive, noting his "attack" ethos and unwillingness to "play nice".[35] Earlier national profiles also traced how his methods and messaging traveled from prior stops to Indiana as part of the program's turnaround.[36]

Former players and colleagues from his assistant-coaching stops have described Cignetti as an exacting teacher and an intensely focused preparer, sometimes calling him a "cocky nerd" for his combination of blunt candor and studied approach to the job.[28] A 2025 profile in The Athletic reported that Cignetti became known for marathon film sessions in which he repeatedly rewound plays to critique players' footwork and assignments and for occasionally stepping into drills himself when quarterbacks failed to execute a rep, reinforcing his standards for precision and preparation.[28] The same profile noted that he prefers concise, high-tempo practices that often finish in roughly 90 minutes, emphasizing efficiency over volume, and that he stresses eliminating "self-imposed limitations" while delivering feedback that players have characterized as direct but constructive

So you clowns think that Cignetti who just signed his 8 year 93 million contract in October is going to break his contract 4 months later to come to the NFL to coach The Raiders ???? ROFL

Um...Jimmy Johnson, Bill Walsh and Dick Vermeil would say otherwise. As would many others.

[RickRyb]

On a tangent, does anyone know if Mendoza has a QB coach at Indiana?
