Let me rephrase things, I don't think he'll have them on the right route given the way things went in Seattle over his last few years. His choice in coordinators as well as him turning the back on some of his core principals that he had when he first landed here is what lead to his decline here. Also keep in mind, whatever culture he does set could just as easily be undone by the guy that follows him.The Raiders have filtered through a lot of coaches in recent years, some of them very young. A culture setter could be just what they need. I don't think every hire a team makes needs to be with the mindset that they'll be around for decades. He signed a three-year contract with a fourth year team option. If he has them in the right direction in 3-4 years, that job will be very attractive.
Is he good with players still? Sure, but that isn't enough. One of his core beliefs was his success in the NFL was tied to control. He is not going to have that in Las Vegas. I don't think this is going to be a successful stint.
