I remember when we hired daboll and people thought it was a bad hire Despite leading one of the top offenses in the league (after decades of misery) some people still think that was a bad hire and were happy to see him go. It makes no sense. 2 2 2 Quote

BuffaloBillyG Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Did some digging on both he and Martin. I favor Martin at this point. 2 Quote
jahnyc Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Maybe they are promoting Hall and are also looking at these candidates potentially to be the new WR coach. 3 Quote

bigK14094 Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Always worth interviewing as you might learn something. And, maybe they have another job for this guy. Let McBean do their job. 3 1 Quote
Dr.Mantis_Toboggan Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Kinda wish they'd just see if they could hire Jordan Palmer and let him and Josh do their thing. Quote

Jim Bob Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Quote During his tenure as the offensive coordinator, Bennett helped orchestrate an offense that finished with 96 touchdown passes since 2015, the most in the NFC and second most in the NFL during that time frame despite missing All-Pro quarterback Aaron Rodgers for nine games in 2017 due to injury. As a former running back, Bennett was able to guide his running back corps to an average of 4.41 yards per carry in the same time frame, a mark that ranked sixth in the NFL. Additionally, Bennett led an offense that ranked eighth since 2015 with a 58.8 percent conversion rate in the red zone, including a third-place finish in 2017 with a success rate of 61.9 percent. In 2017, Bennett's offense ranked fifth in the NFL in yards per rush (4.47 avg.), despite having to shuffle the backfield due to numerous injuries, including starting RB Ty Montgomery who missed eight games. The offense also tied for sixth in the NFC with 25 touchdown passes on the season. Guided by Bennett, Rodgers put together one of the most prolific passing seasons in club history in 2016, tossing for 4,428 yards, completing over 400 passes for a completion percentage of 65.7, while adding an NFL-high 40 touchdowns through the air to just seven interceptions. In wake of Rodgers' success under Bennett's tutelage, Nelson and WR Davante Adams combined for a league-best 26 touchdown receptions. Nelson led the league with 14 scores of his own, adding 1,257 yards receiving and 97 receptions, the fifth most in the Packers history, en route to earning the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year Award. Additionally, the offense as a whole averaged 27.0 points per game, the fourth-best mark in the league. At the helm of the offense for the first time in 2015, Bennett emphasized ball security, as the team's 17 turnovers were the fifth fewest in club history and also ranked fourth fewest in the NFL that year. Bennett's primary focus was most apparent with Rodgers, as he posted the third-best pass interception percentage (1.4) in the NFL, throwing just seven interceptions on 572 attempts. Bennett oversaw an offense that saw its quarterback post over 30 touchdown passes (31) for the fifth time in career. Green Bay also rostered four wide receivers that notched at least 50 receptions in the same season, just the third time (1983 and 2002) the feat has been accomplished since 1940. The offense's incredibly efficient play helped guide the club to a franchise record seventh consecutive playoff berth (2009-15). https://www.raiders.com/team/coaches-roster/edgar-bennett 1 Quote
AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 He turned Zay into a serviceable WR … he must be a genius 😂 2 1 Quote
Boatdrinks Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Just now, ArtVandalay said: Sorry but we can't afford to screw around with Allen in his prime. We already wasted this year with stupidity. They’re not screwing around. Just doing what they have to do. I believe the best move would be to hire Ken Dorsey as OC. There are many reasons, but his rapport with Josh and staying with the E-P offense are key imo. Don’t want any steps back offensively when they are an offensive team 49 minutes ago, Steptide said: Lots of over reaction to these interviews.

Doesn’t make sense. Quote
Casey D Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 This Board on these coaches reads like the 2018 Josh Allen thread during the draft. Thank God the front office did not listen then. I mean no one here has any idea about these guys personalities, back stories, coaching philosophies, ability to adapt to the talent at hand or much of anything else except I heard of him, or the team he coached for was no good so it must be his fault. I trust the front office has a much better idea of who will fit and who will not than anyone here. And they have already said Josh will have input. Trust the process. 2 1 1 2 Quote

Former player - played for Packers and Bears RB coach, then WR coach, then OC for Green Bay for 2 years (2015-2017) Pack offense was 15th, then 4th, then 21st in that time stretch, but that may have more to do with McCarthy than with Bennett Was fired along with McCarthy and hired to coach WR in Las Vegas Bottom line, he has "Offensive Coordinator" on his resume working with a star QB, but it's unclear how much play-calling experience he actually has; from what I can deduce, he was more like the Curtis Modkins type. 1 hour ago, Warcodered said: Hah now you can't tell who the Rooney rule candidate was.
