Kubiak in his opening press conference

 

Reporter: Klint, what was it about this job that stood out to you above the other jobs?

 

Kubiak: Well, I was hoping to wait another week to interview with the Bills so I could coach Josh Allen and a team that is more Super Bowl ready but they decided not to wait for the best coach they could have gotten out if this cycle so this was the next best option I guess. Geno sucks, though, gotta do something about that

Weird how his only options were raiders or Cardinals due to the rules. Much better options, but couldn't talk to any teams

Good for the Raiders. The only way to go is up. He'll have Mendoza, Bowers, and Jeanty to build around on offense.

Yep and about $75 mil in cap space.

Zero expectations, zero income tax.  Seems like a good gig for him.

 

Cost of living in California negates this essentially. Still totally worth it of course.

I think the Bills knew they had no shot at him

 

They had no chance to talk with him. Every other team in the cycle was able to have a 1st interview with him. Beane was never going to wait more than two weeks just to have a first conversation with him. Because if you have that meeting and don't feel he is your guy, you are absolutely screwed by the timing of it all.

 

I'm just glad the Ravens didn't hire him. I'm sure Minter is a good coach but their OC hire is a 29 year old who has 1 year of experience as the OC in Chicago where he didn't call plays.

Oh well.  
 

would have loved the Shanahan passing game here but we are still pretty damn good.

 

I’m most interested in seeing who he hires as his DC.

 

still surprised by this with Shanahan and Davis family not getting along going way back  to Al not paying Mike after he fired him.  I always thought the raiders would be a no no in that circle.

Not only that, but good chance of losing out on a lot of the staff they may want, like Jim Leonard if they wait. 

 

That's probably the most interesting thing for me in all this. Who ends up taking the Cardinals job? If its Vance Joseph, leaves a hole at DC for the Broncos, one that Leonard may have taken.

I think it’s a better job than most people think but that division is a real uphill climb 

The division is tough, but if you just get to 9-8, the first year will be considered a success. Unlike in Buffalo, where you have to, at minimum, make the Super Bowl to be seen as an improvement over the guy who was just fired. Couple that with the first overall pick and a whole bunch of cap space, and the job looks pretty good. Not to mention that Tom Brady serves as a buffer between the staff/players and the questionable ownership. That's why Las Vegas is the job I would have taken if I were in his shoes.

In Vegas he gets 3-4 years to be in divisional

playoffs or  AFC championship game. 
 

In Buffalo you get 2-3 years to win it all. Plus taxes and snow. 
 

id take Vegas as well.
