Stunning News...James Lofton in as Raiders new coach?

Journeyman · Jan 16, 2007

That is the heavy rumor.

:monsters-

Well, he is a Stanford grad...........and a former Packer.

2PLAYSMAX · Jan 16, 2007

heard this as well

Would be nice to seem some recently retired players get a chance to coach, similiar to what the NBA with Avery Johnson did.

why not? players probably connect better , along with the fact the coach understands the new rules/plays better

Comical.....I went to that AFC Championship game (90 or 91) when the Bills crushed the Raiders 51-3......Lofton having a great game that day!!

Chargers WR coach, James Lofton. His WR's did so well this week the Raiders had to hire him. Great hire that will guarantee the Chargers 2 more wins next yr no matter who our coach is. Lofton was a nice hire on the cheap to fit the minority bill. Classy guy with nice credentials, but no head coaching experience.

I heard Lester Hayes was not available so Davis said "get me Lofton".

Just can't believe the moves Oakland is making!

I remember the game well -I had Buffalo that day...those Bills teams were usually money up in Orchard park....good times!

Nothing like having a wide receiver as a head coach.:lolBIG:

i was pondering that earlier. how come wr's dont become head coaches more often?

good thing the raiders are grabbing him now before anyone else does. tomlin, wisenhunt, rivera are mentioned for every job but i guess nobody has thought outside the box yet and hired a man with no coordinator experience.

Sad thing is Ron Rivera really wants the job. His family is from the area, and his wife owns a travel agency there. Looks like Al Davis is going the cheap way again.

earl · Jan 17, 2007

:ughhh: do the raiders even know what they are doing these days? tradition of excellence is in bad shape.

Joe_Hallenbeck · Jan 17, 2007

Lofton also played for the Raiders as well in between GB and Buff.

Is this a suprise....They will be at the bottom as long as A. Davis is around

Basically from ESPN PTI this is not likely to happen
