Some fans crack me up. When Kris Richards got called for a potential coaching job, there were people here who had the actual nerve to say this was a Rooney Rule thing. As if he's somehow done a terrible job. Meanwhile, we're hiring Schotty, who gets repeated chances but has been a perennial failure. And Ken Norton, who by all accounts left the Raiders defense WORSE off than better. Seems like a good guy
I'm neither excited or depressed about our recent hires. They may turn out great, Pete may turn out to be a genius on this. But no objective person can look at this and say that these are absolutely good hires. I suppose they'll have to prove themselves and I for one, hope they do. I would hate to waste away this young talent
I will say though, I wish Kris Richards the best. Unlike the over the top criticism, I do genuinely feel he did a good job. I give him a B+. He dealt with a lot of adversity and handled it well. I have no idea why we're so convinced Norton or Schotty will be the guy, but I'll be right there cheering anyway
