Del Rio: I don't see why the Raiders won't win the AFC West
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...-the-afc-west/
he last time the Raiders won the AFC West, it was at the end of the 2002 season, when Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” was the No. 1 song and The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers was the top movie at the box office. It’s been a long time. But new Raiders coach Jack Del Rio doesn’t see why the Raiders can’t win the AFC West this year. “Goal No. 1 is to win our division, and I don’t see why not,” Del Rio said in a video on the team’s website. Raiders offensive line coach Mike Tice added, “We’re going to be a championship football team.” In the time since their last playoff appearance, the Raiders have gone from Bill Callahan to Norv Turner to Art Shell to Lane Kiffin to Tom Cable to Hue Jackson to Dennis Allen to Tony Sparano as head coach. All those coaches arrived with optimism that they’d be the ones to win in Oakland. Maybe Del Rio will finally be the coach who can actually turn things around. |

I really think they'll be better than expected this year. Del Rio isnt a bad coach.

8? Gtf outta here. They have Mack and Copper but what else should teams look at? Carr may be good but that is unknown. No way they win 8.

Agreed. They have some nice pieces in place. What they really lack is organizational continuity...

Ouch. I have to wonder though, does that go a hundred percent to his coaching or does draft ability/talent assessment/front office factor in as well?

What was he supposed to say? We'll probably stick with what we do best and go 4-12 again!

There have been rumors that Del Rio more than wore out his welcome in Denver. An Oakland blogger even claimed that Del Rio and Elway got into an altercation at some point last year.
As for how he'll do in Oakland, I think Del Rio will be good for them. He can instill a fighting spirit in their players and they won't be pushovers anymore. Players didn't respect Dennis Allen, Del Rio won't have that problem. |
