Boom Go The Raiders!

Hue Jackson was fired today, and I am neither surprised nor upset by the news, as promised. Here's what Jackson said about McKenzie: “He’s going to gut this place. He wants to bring in his own guys. No job is safe right now.”No job is safe? With those four words, our defense just got a lot better, and the standards of professionalism in Alameda just got raised. Simply put, McKenzie has decided to pave a new Raider Way, and that's fine by me. When you don't post a winning record in nine seasons, a major shakeup is in order, not to mention long overdue. We've already been down the road of half measures, and that hasn't worked. The tree is being uprooted, and I expect it to produce much tastier fruits in the near future.This new Raider Way is simply about returning to the original Raider Way, which was all about winning.And I think we can expect to see a lot more of that over the next few years.
