This is why the Raiders have sucked forever. They never stick with a guy. Yes, they have been AWFUL this year, but you cant expect greatness in a season and a half
I don't know who in there right mind would want to take a job in that dumpster fire they call a franchise. Not sure what the coaches name was before Allen, but they were idiots letting him go when they did. I think he was .500 for the year and he got the boot. Pretty sure AL Davis ghost still runs(haunts) that franchise.
Does the NFL want them in LA? They are a mess from the top down. The ownership isn't going to change. For a team to be in LA the NFL needs to find an owner that is willing to spend the money needed to win. Having a ****** in team in LA is worse than having no team at all. The fans there will only support a winner.
You can't achieve any sort of stability when you are constantly switching. They seemed to be heading in a somewhat positive direction with Tom Cable but then Al Davis' kid took over and fired him IIRC.

The NFL needs the raiders to be successful. They are one of the most historicaly significant teams in the NFL. I think the Leauge should take over the team.
The ghost of Al Davis still haunts the Raiders. They have a roster full of high priced guys that used to be pro bowlers but are way past their prime. They are still suffering form a lack of draft picks that Al traded for.
I'd say the current woes are not caused by the coach but by the head office.
Heck, they paid Jarmacus Russell $7M this summer. Anyone remember him ? Anyone?

Talk about a shutdown corner! Can cover 3 guys at once. Appears the raiders have at least 1 talented player on defense.
Mike Shanahan lasted about 4 games into his 2nd season in 1989. Shanahan did have to take on a staff made up of assistants that were there with the previous coach.
