you mad bro?

Not mad. I couldn't care less.

Just think it's shitty for a team to block an assistant when the guy has a chance at a promotion.

Also sends a bad message to other assistants possibly considering coming here in the future.

Every team in the league does it.

Besides it wasnt much of a "promotion" anyway

dbair wins again. These are those made up positions that teams have used to get around the no lateral move rule. Secret assistant to the coordinating head coach. Get your own ST coordinator, Oakland.

My guess is that if Decamillis had actually wanted to interview he would have been "allowed".

Well never know though, since the Cowboys blocked Oakland from even talking to him.

Assistant Head Coach > Special Teams Coordinator


I know this happens accross the league. Doesn't make it any less of a dick move.

Hmmmm on the 30th the Raiders ST coach left for St. Louis.

And then they wanted to interview DeCamillis for an "Assistant Head Coaching" gig.

I WONDER WHY

I don't think this is anything bad.

If decamillis wanted out I Am sure they would let him interview.

Seems like run of the mill stuff.

Besides it's getting late in the year to have to replace a coordinator. If we lose him other teams would deny us the ability most likely to steal a coach from them.

I'm not suggesting he wouldn't have handled ST duties.

But he would've also had the title as AHC.

It's a promotion, even if only in title.

By denying him the opportunity to even interview, we're essentially capping an excellent opportunity for him to grow in his career.

There was, afterall, rumblings of him being a candidate for the Jaguars HC gig, so he's appearantly well regarded in the league.

Dude I just layed it out for you.

The Raiders are scrambling to replace their ST coach. So they come up with this cute little "promotion" so they can steal ours. Which would in turn leave us scrambling to replace our ST coach.

no. Nothing is being capped, we're just not going to grant some sham interview to a team that's just trying to replace their ST coach by stealing ours. What's the problem with that?

No one is going to hire Joe decamillis as a head coach.

He has been around for a long time, his units are not even that good to be honest. They a just ok, but had two critical errors this year. Blocked punt against the jets, blocked fg against the giants.

He is a good st coach, he is never going to be the head coach of an NFL team.

If he wanted to interview with the raiders I am sure they would have let him.
