Sean Payton: Rejecting Raiders despite Happy Meals 

Who’s Winnie?

And that way ruined the Raiders for 40 years

His son did

Gruden did but Al couldn't handle it.

Cookie Money Al Davis hated his son

@jr That's fine. I respect your opinion. I feel that Sean Payton is a much, much better coach & someone that I would much rather have than Chucky. He's so intelligent, creative & very well organized & efficient in his execution of his offense. He makes the very best of what he has & utilizes them to their strengths. Mark Ingram, his rb for example, isn't the fastest, most explosive, athletic rb, but Sean makes it work. Even the WR corps. Aside from Michael Thomas now, Most of their WRs are usually under the radar, mid round - undrafted type talent & they end up being effective in his system. Drew Brees, even at age 40, is still playing at a very high level & is still one of thee top QBs in the league today. Personally, I feel that Sean Payton is the better coach because of his intelligence, resourcefulness, creativity, leadership & people skills. The Saints still have the majority of the same coaching staff they had 10 years ago when they one the super bowl & they are still relevant, still fresh & still have one of the best offenses in the league. Sean is the man & if we have a shot of getting him to be our coach in 2020 , I'd definitely go for it & wouldn't hesistate at all. He's that good of a coach.

The issue is that in NO Payton has final say on roster personnel and a great relationship with Mickey Loomis. Al Davis always had to be GM so it wouldn't have worked the same.

@@Matt-cr4vv That's interesting because Mickey Loomis said they would always try to come to an agreement but that, at the end of they, Loomis had the final say.

Lovin me some SP

Well Davis always had all the control especially over the roster and the draft. Coaches hate that. I'm a Raiders fan and as pissed as I was that he didn't take the job, I was more pissed that Al couldn't let it go. Everyone knew the Raiders weren't going to be good again with an 80 year old man running the team.

Raider fan since "73 however Davis was an absolute embarrassment the final 10-12 years of his life. He should have realized the game passed him by and gone off to some memory care home. I'd cringe every time he was on the sports news. When he canned Lane Kiffin was the worst! Blood shot eyes, drool coming out of his mouth, mispronouncing his OWN team (he called them "the laiders"!).

Exactly. Al was completely gone by then. Like Jerry Jones now. Im a huge Raiders fan but he dodged a huge bullet.

He was a legend. He was the youngest AFL Coach, became AFL Commissioner, and took over the team. He brought the team 3 championships. But that isn't what truly makes him a legend. What makes Al a legend was his generosity for former players, his fight for civil rights, and the fact that he hired the first black head coach and the first female executive. For a guy who was painted the bad guy all those years he was the most high quality human being. It just stinks that his refusal to relinquish any control of the team into his old years has stood out so much in comparison to how much he did in his lifetime.

From a fellow Saints fan, LOL, (WHO DAT!) probably because he would have complete freedom to just coach the Saints how he wants to. Knowing what we know about Payton now, it's HARD to see him being a successful head coach under an owner like Jerry Jones or Al Davis. I think Payton would need more control than owners like them would be willing to concede.

I'm a Raiders fan and I'll let you know exactly what Bill Parcells was saying. Al Davis was 75 years old at that time and he was extremely hard to work for even when he was younger. Imagine being a coach and wanting to draft Calvin Johnson but instead watch as Al Davis drafts JaMarcus Russell instead. The scouts and coaches wanted to draft Aaron Rogers. Davis drafted some fast guy, I think it was a wide receiver with bad hands. Al Davis ran the whole draft and ran the whole roster. Everyone in the NFL knew how bad it was for coaches who worked for Davis. It really was a bad situation. Parcells was being kind by saying it was a 50-50 situation. The Raiders had no shot of being good again until Davis retired or otherwise.

Mr Davis was getting a lil senile

You are spot on Eric.

Payton made the right decision not going to Raiders.

Lane Kiffin proved your point. At first I thought Kiffin was wrong and an a-hole. But, as time always does, it started to reveal more and more of the facts. Now I have done a 180 and feel Kiffin might have been in the right and it was Davis who was losing it to alzheimer's.

That you. Yes he was. Makes me wonder if Mark is really his son. Complete opposite

Marcus Allen said otherwise when I talked to him face to face in a St. Louis Walgreens when I was checking him out...

And I'm punching air

@Jr 😡😡😡😡

It was all about speed for Al Davis

Who's that?

Hows your brain? Just about every team passed on Rodgers bud.

You better pray his 2019 draft is solid. He took a playoff team to a 3 win season

Gruden is good!!

85Raidernation the rite track as in the back track lol. Gruden is ass

@Alan Flores Rome wasntn built in a day. I knew when Gruden was re hired this could take 3 years.

@@Showtime504 oh your another one of those fire the coach now type of fan. Well you keep banging your gong. This is gonna take 3 years. Relax.

85Raidernation it could take 3 years or set them back 6, this team was a 12 win team a couple years ago so I was kind of expecting him to get them close to that status but looking in hindsite he’s got to get his guys in and build the team in his vision. He definitely has the picks to do so, so we will see in a few years. PS I don’t think Carr will be his QB of the future

u forgot del rio once mus grave left too it was fuckd

It annoys me it’s happy socks. It’s just colored socks. It looks wrinkled but zoom in, it’s just colored. I like em

Dustin Newman Literally read that as you being annoyed by the fact they were happy socks at first

its like the only thing any right minded person can see

He was tryin to flirt with graeme

😁😂😂😂😂😅😆😄😆🙃🙃🙃🤓🤓🤓🤓😲😲😲😲😲

Kevin Kaatz as raiders fans, we all know al Davis would not give Sean Payton the power to coach the team. It would not have worked.

Now he is part of a great coaching tree

Kevin Kaatz you still would have no talent, no defense and no QB. That equals sucking

Remember history is written differently when other things occur. The success New Orleans has/had doesn’t mean it would’ve been the same in Oakland.

He wasn't the only one to turn down Al Davis over the years. Bill Belichick comes to mind.

They would still be in Oakland

Salvadore Liberto Nah. They don’t wanna look like Liberace

It wasn't Al's book You Putin/Trump puppet.

Jack Tate, butthurt much?

Grow up moron.

Believe me. You don’t want Bruce Allen. Trash back then. Dumpster fire today.

MileHi Raider heard the same thing, Al didn’t think he was ready to be HC

@@duke9430 Yeah Al is gone so now they twist the story

The job he thought he had was with Green Bay Packers not the Oakland Raiders! The Packers went with Mike McCarthy instead.

@@JesseVealIII right!

Me too. Also in another thread on this video, someone mentioned our scouts begged Davis to draft Aaron Rogers but he went with a really fast guy.

If this the first time of hearing this you must’ve fell off the bandwagon at some point because this was common knowledge when Our Raiders hit the skids....I’m not trying to be a Raider Gate keeper but knowledgeable Fans knew of the McD Cheeseburgers at the interview story.

he came to his senses... twice

Creepy Stares flakey.

He was smart forget the bucs

gary jackson he thought he wanted to do it twice though.

What do you do for work?

What makes him awkward?

Unknown Lopez 😲😲😲😲😞😢😢😢😢 no shit

Guillermo Rivera Ohh the lorax sock having head ass

His jacket is wack

It's not the team's fault that the city couldn't afford or want to build them a stadium just like SD lost their team Oakland losing their team but the only difference is that the Raiders actually have fans all around the country that's why we're the Raider Nation and everyone else rips on our culture just look at all these teams wearing black now like the 49rs and every other team making all black baseball caps with their team logo like wtf why don't u guys rock your own colors leave the all black look to the team that started it.

No way, don't compare a person who hired the first Black head coach, to a racist piece of shit like Trump.

Have you seen the 🐻 s play they suck at every phase. I'll buy the saints in the playoffs and maybe the 🐄 s go one and done. But let us look at the results from the RaiderNation dumping Mack and Cooper. The immediate return was three 1st Rd picks in back to back drafts. Now sure both the cowboys and bears salt immediate returns from their trades. And yes both teams made it to the playoffs in the first years with their new players. However they both were one and done. And since the beginning of this season both teams have tremendously underperformed expectations. while the raiders have rebounded from a 4 and 12 season last year and I'm knocking on the door of entering the playoffs. So yeah suck on them lemon's...😅😅😅. by the way Max Crosby's a better player as a fourth-round pick than Mack this year or as a rookie! Facts!

huh?

What he Means is Working WIth Bill Parcells that was his Law School .. Did not matter where the team was ..

A joke of a franchise would have never won 3 Super Bowls.

EnjoyLifeNow24 you're literally talking about FORTY yrs ago. U werent even born the last time they won a ring probably lmfao

For your information I was 10 years old when they won their first Super Bowl in Pasadena, Ca in 1977, Super Bowl XV in 1981 and I will always remember Super Bowl XVIII (1984) and the display of greatness of the great Marcus Allen, Lyle Alzado, Ted Hendricks, Howie Long, Lester Hayes, Mike Haynes, Jim Plunkett, Todd Christensen and head coach Tom Flores who won two Super Bowls for the Raiders and he is still being ignored by the board of Hall of Fame of the NFL. I have seen coaches who have never won a Super Bowl being inducted in the NFL Hall of Fame. Ask a Minnesota Vikings fan, Buffalo Bills fan, Cleveland Browns fan, L.A. Chargers fan, Arizona Cardinals fan, Atlanta Falcons fan, Houston Texans fan, Tennessee Titans fan, Cincinnati Bengals fan, Jacksonville Jaguars fan and any other fan of a football team that has never won a Super Bowl about what if feels not having their team being crowned Super Bowl Champions until this date. Were you already born when the Raiders reached the peak of glory in those 3 occasions? What is your favorite football team and how many Super Bowls has your team won?

EnjoyLifeNow24 Whoopty fucking doo, your franchise sucks and has sucked for the last decade and a half and with Chucky Cheese at helm, it'll suck for another decade and a half because of loyal to a fault fans like you who live in the past and have zero criticism nor demands for a franchise that treats u like shit. I had to put up with 10 yrs of Jeff Fisher, and never once during that horrendous time did I mention anything about the glory days of the Greatest Show on Turf, nor the days of Eric Dickerson, Jackie Slater, Henry Ellard, Flipper Anderson or Kevin Greene. I never basked in our Super Bowl win when Jeff Fisher was running the franchise into the ground. The Rams were a joke, and all it took was getting rid of Fisher, signing a savvy vet on the O-line in Whitworth and hiring a brilliant young coach who relates to today's players. SAME EXACT roster and we won our division and made the playoffs. In first place again this yr, because WE PAY OUR PLAYERS, we dont jerk them around and not reward them for outperforming their contracts. Players want to play for us and our coach. NOBODY wants to play for the Raiders, especially with that egomaniac nutjob Chucky Cheese running it. Raiders fans love to blame the media and the "haters" for stating simple FACTS. Nobody hates the Raiders because they suck. U have to be good to have haters, cuz hate stems from jealousy. You need to look yourself and your team in the mirror and understand that the NFL is a what have u done for me lately league, not a live in the past 4 decades ago one.

@@louzer2566 Oh shut the fuck up "Loser!" Raider fans are our own worst critics! We don't need suckas like you spreading your Raider hate around; the Nation already critiques our team with a sharp and merciless eye. You have no idea. Just worry about your own team.
