He was angry because they weren't playing well. Chud was fired soon thereafter, the reason being that he couldn't get the players to play hard enough like Gus Bradley did. That doesn't explain what Banner and Lombardi did to justify their firings. They inherited Brandon Weeden. What were they supposed to do in year one to produce a quarterback? Draft Geno Smith? Sign Vince Young? There were no franchise QBs in the draft or free agency last year and you can't just produce one out of thin air. They traded Richardson, which was a smart move, and received a 1st round pick, which will now give them the ammunition to get said franchise QB in this year's draft. That's laudable, not a fireable offense. But maybe I'm just missing something.

Were gonna hear him masturbate again over offensive line
Lmao
Nobody ever thought the Sonics would move either. All it took was an opportunistic buyer and a seller willing to listen for the right price.
I bet the Niners would love for the Raiders to move, they could monopolize the Bay Area/NorCal market.
I highly doubt it would happen, I'm just saying. The biggest problem is that OKC still needs to build an NFL stadium.

I'm sure the California teams would love for the Raiders to leave, but unless it's Los Angeles, I don't think the Raiders will leave Oakland. Now if OKC was offering a state-of-the-art stadium....
Nah, not even then. Lol.

Whatever metric or expectation that was in place for Chud was probably reasonable given that roster. The Jags game was brutal.

I guess the question is who was responsible for firing Chud? Was it Haslam, or Banbardi?

Seeing the Circus in Cleveland makes me real grateful, Oakland's craziness has come to a stop.

Bottom line is Lombardo and Banner were awful, this is huge addition by subtraction. Ask anyone in the league what they thought of the two and you know they should have never even been employed.
Now they have the promising GM in Farmer to guide them through the most important Draft since the return.

The news so far today is great for Browns fans.
New coach however, that'd be hilarious.
Aint going to happen. Do you think Pettine is going to be feeling sad he's now going to be working with Farmer instead of Lombardi and Banner? Absolutely not.
