Captain_Quint Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Looks like hes been hangin around with Olson at the losers table. Jags, Raiders... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Oh, good! Greg Olson told Rapoport of his firing from the Jags in 2016: "Couldn't find an identity in the run game." So we decided to hire the coach that couldn't find a running identity to save the OC's job. The OC that we're interviewing tomorrow. Awesome.

Doc Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 The identity of the run game: Shady McCoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed83HOF Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 not trying to be that guy, but offense is very uninspiring thus far...yuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jokeman Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Oh, good! Greg Olson told Rapoport of his firing from the Jags in 2016: "Couldn't find an identity in the run game." So we decided to hire the coach that couldn't find a running identity to save the OC's job. The OC that we're interviewing tomorrow. Awesome. That's why we hired Juan Castillo to be the run game coordinator. But I agree I'm meh on Olson as OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 He didn't have much to work with in his day. I don't really think you need to teach Shady, Gilislee and Felton much. Uninspiring hire but to me, the RB coach is one of our least important hires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) He's yet another mediocre coach who under performs consistently. How do these guys continue to get jobs? They have some damn good agents. A quote from the Florida Times Union when the Jags hired him: "Oakland’s run game statistics were woeful last year. The Raiders were last in yards per game (77.5) and rushing touchdowns (four). In Skipper’s six years, the Raiders’ running game finished 21st, second, seventh, 28th, 12th and last. Oakland’s combined six-year run-game ranking was 16th in yards and 12th in yards per attempt." Edited January 18, 2017 by dpberr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 not trying to be that guy, but offense is very uninspiring thus far...yuck Castillo and Boras are very good coaches. I would prefer to have kept Kromer for OL but Castillo is very good. Who are you against and why, besides this guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually pretty good production for McFadden who was injured half the time and Michael Bush, with no passing game whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
