I don't even understand the whole culture concept when the next HC is just going to bring in his own. So what does Pete offer, a 3 year culture rental? I just will never understand the hire.

Normally I'd agree. It just sounds like that organization got pretty out of control and that's what they seem to be looking for more than anything. I mean you could say the same thing about his age too, is he still going to be coaching in his late 70's, I doubt it.

The combo of John and Pete have the potential to become Saviors in the eyes of Raider Nation.

Hires Chip Kelly as OC. Ohio State has officially lost all their best coaches

Man.

I'm... I'm pretty jealous of the Raiders staff right now, man.

What an incredible hire.

I think Pete was burned out here tbh and having a dual title did not
help, now he can focus just on being a HC.
This may make all the difference in how he coaches now vs the last few
years in Seattle.
I hope he does well and a part of me does miss him but it was past time
here for him to go.
The loyalty to crap OCs/DCs and players who didn't compete anymore really
got on my last nerve.
I hope he had enough time to reflect on those type of things and has the eye of
the tiger back.
He needs to just be the motivational guy and let his coordinators do the other stuff or he’s going to struggle. Curious to see if the time off gave him a chance to rethink how he does things. I’m rooting for him too but it’s really hard to change your ways in your mid 70’s. I fear this isn’t going to end well for Pete.

Don't think he's re inventing himself at this point and why would he have to?

I don’t think he needs to reinvent his whole approach but I’m guessing he does in regards to the scheme stuff. Just went stale the last 3 years even with pouring almost all of his resources into the defense.

My hope is his main focus is on creating an environment for a young QB to flourish because I think that is his strength not defense like many others do at this stage

Kelly fits the Raiders personality, score and try to intimidate, I am curious to see how Petes conservative mentality when they are ahead is going to mesh with him.
