Denny Green soon to be Raider coach?
Rumor has it former Arizona Cardinal head coach Dennis Green might be the next Oakland Raider head coach. ESPN reported that owner Al Davis no longer wants Lane Kiffin as the coach and is considering Denny Green.
Davis has drafted up a letter of resignation for Kiffin to sign. Kiffin has refused to sign the letter and dares Davis to fire him. So as you can see chances are Lane is gone.
The bigger issue for Raider fans is the potential hiring of Denny Green. As a Cardinal fan I was in favor of Green coming to Arizona originally. But when I heard that Green didn’t have the passion for coaching that he once had, and wasn’t a coach that communicated well with players, I wanted him gone. Once Denny left the Cardinals, players really started to come out and express their true feelings about the coach. None of it was particularly positive. I personally never expected Green’s name to be brought up in head coaching conversations after his poor performance in Arizona.
Maybe Al Davis is just really losing it. First, he hires a coach that looks like he just got out of diapers, now he’s interested in a guy that’s over the hill and lacks passion for the job. Until Davis gives up the team, or steps aside I don’t see anything good coming to the Raiders organization. If Oakland does end up with Denny as their coach, it will set back any growth this team could’ve made for another five years.
