Only 4 games in? Wow.

How many coaches have they had in the past decade?

I can only hope it's true. It doesn't matter how many coaches in the last decade... DA is terrible and he needs to go... along with Reggie McKenzie.

Gotta love the sports media! Gotta be the first one to get that scoop, who gives a damn if it's actually accurate or not?

Yes, I am fully aware that the original story is not from NFL.com. I just checked there for an additional source.

I put it on Facebook in the third quarter as a premonition. I think many SEC teams would beat the Raiders, they look awful. The only surprise is they let Allen finish the game and fly back on the team plane. I would have left him in London and let him find his own way back.

well they did it ... Allen fired

Yes, they are sure to turn this season around now.

I've never understood the rationale of firing a coach in the midst of a season that's already started. It never seems to have any positive net effect and in many cases it just makes things even worse. If it were me, I would have kept him through the end of the year and started looking for his replacement around December.

It's not about turning around a season that is already lost. It's about doing something right for a change. DA should have never been hired. He was...is a wet behind the ears coach that doesn't have near enough experience to be a HC. Thus entire mess rests soley on Reggie McKenzie's shoulders. He is the worst GM EVER! He hired DA. He fired Hue Jackson. He brought in the geriatric troops. He had $65 million to spend and he did nothing with it. He let Veldheer and Houston walk. Fuck Reggie! And Fuck Mark Davis too... sell the team you fuckin' idiot!

I think it is a classier thing to fire someone at the end of the season instead of during the season.
