Ejiro Evero and Mendoza

Or

Kubiak and Ty Simpson.

Say KK comes in and says he wants the picks of the Jets.

I fail to see the “fun”.

Let’s Go Mendo!!!

This is actually the part that doesn’t scare me. While beautiful and all, it’s only for a few months a year. Remainder of the year is basically suicide watch with all the gloomy weather. Been here for over 50 years, it’s not fun.
I’d go so far as to say the fans in Oakland had more manners most of the time.

Yea but I believe Klint was quoted saying he was tired of relocating. Hopefully the jump to HC makes it all worth it for him.

Just for fun, how long can you hold a bong hit?

That's my thinking. They just moved so no deep ties to the area. He knows he wants to be an HC so a move is in the cards at some point. They move to LV now and he could be here for a decade or more. His kids have a settled situation growing up.

^^^Can't quit laughing.

For everyone questioning the Cardinals interview, maybe that's part of the appeal for him. He knows this gig will be at least a few years and maybe him or his family like that area to set up a residence? Things like that have to be in consideration

You never know. I think his priorities will more likely lean towards the likelihood of team success, but family matters too. The Vegas area, outside of the strip, is pretty nice really.

Yep just throwing another angle out there as we all have a tendency to put blinders on every once in a while

It's a day of waiting for information but, in reality, if the day ends with a complete lack of information then it's probably all good. A weird waiting game.

I think the second best result would be hearing nothing
Best would be that they have agreed to him being with the Raiders
Worst would be an announcement that Kubiak has removed himself from consideration.

If we hear nothing, he is coming to the Raiders.

To add to this regarding team success, the Cardinals don't have a history of cycling through coaches every year either. Deservedly fired or not, that has to weigh on the mind a bit also. Im of the opinion that our job isn't head and shoulders above the Arizona job as some may think
