mike silver...

A writer for Yahoo Sports who used to work for Sports Illustrated.   A CAL grad and a CAL fanatic.  I generally enjoy reading his column.  I don't always agree with the guy, but he's better than most of the sports writers out there.

He just wrote about Mark Davis the owner of the Raiders being over his head.  I basically agree with him.
Silver seems to be a fan of recently fired Hue Jackson.  I liked Jackson until his team fell apart at the end of the season.  Watching the Raiders led by Jackson was very frustrating.  They blew too many big leads.  That can be attributed to bad coaching.  His tirade after losing to the Chargers was ridiculous.

Hue Jackson needs to reestablish himself as an offensive coordinator somewhere before getting another opportunity as a head coach.  I don't see it happening for awhile.

The Raiders have weapons on offense and their defense is suspect.   Winston Moss the current assistant head coach/linebacker coach of the Green Bay Packers is the early favorite to replace Jackson since newly hired GM Reggie McKenzie was the director of player personnel of the Pack.  And both are former Raiders.
