No clue who that is but it seems like he’s purely speculating.

Schefter and to a lesser extent Jay Glazer and Rapaport are the only “insiders” who are worth a damn. The rest are just a mixture of agent dross, hearsay and speculation. Until one of those guys says something, we have nothing concrete.

Last one.
I've been leaning toward Kubiak mostly because of his resume/experience, but since he's "untouchable" for the next 2 weeks though it might seem like a year for some of us, I now think Webb is the most likely pick, especially after watching that video.

If he’s untouchable then that’s by his choice as league rules allow us to interview him this week. If chooses not to do so then I’d say he really doesn’t want to be the HC here

Interviewing him is one thing, actually hiring him is obviously something else. And I'd be surprised if he or Seattle would welcome the unneeded distraction of interviewing before the SB.

My point is that the 2 week grey area might be too long and too risky for the Raiders to endure, so I believe they will pivot to Webb. I would think we'll know more about which way the Raiders are leaning in the next day or so, because otherwise, they could risk missing out on both Kubiak and Webb.

The author seems to have forgotten some things when writing this. Such as cellphones and computers that have cameras embedded in them, and airplanes that make far away places closer.

I watched the video on Eisen show. I mean he's not wrong in anything he said. Nobody knows what the structure is here. Brady is the man but we're conducting interviews without him present or virtual? Make it make sense.

I wasn't really taking a stance either way...just putting it out there for consideration. But for me, and possibly a HC candidate, the perception of the Raiders' current situation might be a turn off for those candidates.
On the other hand, the Raiders do have some building blocks for a new regime...so who knows?

He's been pretty plugged in with past stuff. Moreso than the beat writers if I'm being honest.

Yes sir. Wouldn’t have shared it otherwise. He’s staking his reputation on this one, let’s see if it hits (we’ll know very soon I think).

I’ve never said that a good QB does not make a good OC. Phil Jackson has zero NBA championships without Jordan or Bryant, so they made him the great coach he is. See how that works?

Buffalo hung 30 on a defense that gives up an average of 18.3 per game, and that’s with FIVE turnovers. That’s really impressive, imo.
