PQ, I agree with you but in davis' situation it's not a butting in thing. He was instrumental in forming the AFL and was the raiders first head coach in 1960. He was given a small percentage of ownership in 1964 and through greed and desire ended up with 80% in 2005 after yet another battle in court with the surviving family members of a part owner. In 2007 he sold an estimated 10% to pay debt's and to make tommy kelly the highest paid DT in history (at the time) Also paying gerbil wilson 36 million for three years,javon walker 55 million and terdell sands 20 million. They all were/are busts. kelly is not a starter, walker has not played a full game in 2 seasons and wilson is gone. sands is a players that maybe see's 5 play's a game.
davis runs every aspect of the team. cover 1 defense since the 60's. man coverage. The only leeway given is to offensive play calling. However personnel decisions are all made by ad. That is why there are no reputable HC's knocking on the door for a job. And when a coach tries to coach the team, he gets the kiffin treatment. An attempt at public humiliation and an attempt to deny pay. (still in court) Actually the reason Shanahan alway's got the bronco's to beat us was because when davis fired him after 8 weeks, he owed him a million dollars that he never paid. kiffin took him to court.
Like I said, I wish he would just die.
JJ is following close,but not the same path.
