08:01 AM ET 01.11 | Hue Jackson, perhaps somewhat understandably, felt betrayed. [Jackson] wanted more power, and he wound up with no power. He's out after going 8-8 in his only season as Raiders head coach. Jackson, who is friends with new G.M. Reggie McKenzie, was stunned by the development. "He's going to gut this place," Jackson told [CSNBayArea.com]. ... "He [McKenzie] wants to bring in his own guys. No job is safe right now." That sounds like a promising development for the Raiders. While some will connect Jackson's firing with the instability of the last decade in Oakland, McKenzie is making a clean break from the past. Raiders fans should want a fresh start, with changes at every level of the coaching staff and management.

Was Hue "pissed"?

Only time will tell. This housecleaning may end up being a setback for the Raiders, who seemed to be getting it together before they got hit by injuries last year. Still, they've been kind of disfunctional for years,

I thought the setback would be trading away virtually all your draft picks for a washed up quarterback and an unproven one

True, but it seems the J-e-T-S are making a run for dysfunctional No. 1.

This can only be a positive step for the Raiders, Al is gone, new GM, maybe it will be run like a NFL franchise...

Yep so maybe they can save some money by not scouting anybody projected to go in the first 5 rounds

I agree with you. In that division they did not need a lot of change to win. With all of the problems at seasons end, they still had a chance for the play offs.

A fresh start is exactly what the Rai-duhs need. Good move by McKenzie. If Davis really stays out of his way like he's promised, McKenzie will right the ship.

Hue, you were 8-8, a winning percentage of .500. Go over to the next post to learn that you gotta have at least a .542 to get two NFL teams to drool over you. Maybe next time, dude.
