Klint Kubiak - Officially Head Coach

[JRaider17]

Figured it is best to start a new official thread around Kubiak being our HC as the other one was built up so much around the search. His introduction presser is at 11 PST today.

Klint Kubiak reveals how Tom Brady recruited him to join the Raiders

Klint Kubiak wanted to work with Tom Brady
In his first media availability as the Raiders head coach, Kubiak gushed about the opportunity to work with the seven-time Super Bowl champion. He even joked about how he's going to regret being so nice to him:

“Really excited to work with Tom,” Kubiak said. “He made the mistake of giving me his cellphone number. He might wish he never did that because I’m going to be calling him a lot. What I’m excited about is that we have different offensive backgrounds and how we can pull ideas from each other.”

Kubiak revealed that getting a chance to pick Brady's brain and work with him was one of the main reasons why he took the Raiders' head-coaching job:

“Obviously, he’s the greatest that’s ever done it. In the interview process, the passion that he spoke with on all things football got me excited about the opportunity to work with him,” he admitted. “Plenty has been said or speculated about how that relationship’s going to go. That’s one of the main draws to come here is to get to work with (Brady), get to work with (Spytek).”

Multiple teams reached out to Kubiak, so it's not like the Raiders were his only choice. That's the perk of having the most famous and accomplished football player of all time as a minority owner.

Kubiak's Seattle Seahawks averaged a whopping 28.4 points per game last season, the third most in the league. The Raiders, on the other hand, averaged a league-worst 14.2, per ESPN.

The Raiders will probably take projected No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza to be their quarterback for the future. Once again, Brady's influence and input might work wonders for an organization that has struggled to find its way for decades now.

the individuals who trash Brady's impact should give this a glance... ::cough:: SMS ::cough::



On another note, while watching that Kubiak presser, was anyone else listening to it in hopes Kubiak would take a drink of water? perhaps it's my attention span but, that sticky mouth sound the mic was picking up started driving me crazy, lol.

I think it’s likely significant that Maxx wasn’t there (considering he always participates in these). Marks comment about not speaking to Maxx about it and even if he had, he wouldn’t share is also suspect because Mark isn’t smart enough to come up with that on his own, he’s been coached on how to handle this subject.

Yeah there was room to read into it for sure. Xramfan has it right it will happen or it won't and we should be good either way.

O’Connell showing up at Kubiak’s presser in no way hinders nor helps his chances of staying a backup Qb on the team.

I don’t know. First impressions and all. That wispy teenager mustache may cause Coach to think 3rd on the depth chart immediately.

I saw that too. I think it was a matter of him not being in the room but being there, which makes sense because he was actually called out as if he were there. So the plausible excuses used for Maxx actually applies here. Like maybe he was in the bathroom. But I'm damn sure I saw him there in some of the other vids. Maxx left after coffee

Yep, I can tell from the photo that Bowers is either about to or just finished taking a shit.

For you guys who are not Christians, you might have to get used to this talk from Klint,

[Jeevo]

I just hope that God out some good scheme stuff in there for Klint to use.

Maxx wasn’t there because it wasn’t about him. He ain’t about to play second-fiddle to no Head Coach hire or whatever. Especially if it isn’t one he told them to hire. Mamba mentality baby. If it ain’t ‘bout you, it ain’t ‘bout shit.

Say what you want about Mark Davis, good bad or meh.. he Loves the Raiders & he's not just some nerd billionaire who invested in a team as yet another money making asset. It actually matters to him at his core. He's made mistakes & I think he's learned from them. Evidence of that is allowing Spytek to do his job in this process of reset in finding the HC. Love that he let some legends sit up there with GM & HC without spotlight on him as the owner. Good on ya Mark

Pfft. Is this a joke? He hasn’t invested in shit. He inherited it. A nerd who created something that made billions is WAY more f[raiders_icon]cking impressive than a guy that got all his wealth as a gift. It took him less effort to become owner of the Raiders than it does to wipe yesterday’s PF Changs from his asshole.

Congratulations Doofus, it only took you 15 years of repeating the same mistakes over and over again before you finally realized someone who knows football should make the football decisions.

Don’t know what reality you live in, but if it takes a fella 15 years of repeating the same mistakes before he finally gets it, there’s no f’n blue ribbon for that shit.

Relax, sit down, and watch the games Doofus. As long as you and your peabrain just stay a fan, we all might actually see the Raiders win some shit.

Great news we finally got a HC for raiders and hopefully Mendoza is drafted by the raiders….

And for everyone moaning about Crosby not being at the press conference; what does it matter; when Crosby was on the team we were still the worst team in the NFL; so in other words Crosby really did not make that much difference for the team….

If I am him, I do whatever it takes and being there does not hurt. I am merely pointing out that being there or not being there is not a thing. Maxx not being there is almost certainly a move to not distract from the moment given all the wild speculation that they want to trade him.

Agree about Maxx, but O’Connell being there, not being there, has zero to do with him remaining on the team next season. It he had been there, and I have no idea if he was, it would be for nothing more than support and respect to Kubiak.
