There's reason to celebrate Raider Nation, for on the morning of February 3rd, 2009, Ted Tollner and John Marshall were added to a coaching staff that now includes everything except a head coach.
Who the hell are these guys? Tollner's had as many jobs as me! His jobs paid better and didn't require name tags, but really, is being o-coord of the 2005 Detroit Lions any more respectable than my freshman-year gig at Kay Bee Toys?
Telltale sign #1 your team is fucked: the only guy willing to co-ordinate the offense is a glorified seat-filler.
Telltale sign #2 your team is fucked: JOHN MARSHALL IS HIRED TO COACH THE DEFENSE.
Marshall runs a 4-3, he loves smaller defenders, and his defenses are fun to watch if you're playing offense against them. Picture Rob Ryan with two extra decades (though Rob Ryan may not have a job in two decades).
I can only think of two feasible scenarios for Marshall's hiring...
1. Davis is stuck in the 1970's and thinks Jack Tatum and Lester Hayes are in the backfield.
2. Davis is stuck in the 1820's and thinks he's getting a Supreme Court Justice to discipline the defense.
Why does this team bother interviewing coaches? An application would be just fine.
Have you ever...
- Worked for the San Francisco 49ers?
- Coached in the Pac-10?
- Been fired at least 3 times?
If you said "yes" to all 3, welcome to the Raider Nation!
