01/22/12 - Show #332: Reggie, don't be a Veggie - Raiders 2012 Search for a new Head Coach

Summary: TOPICS: Segment #1: "Reggie, don't be a veggie" After listening to introductory press conference for new Raiders General Manager Reggie McKenzie, Raider Greg was expecting a quick dismissal of many administrative personnel. There has been no announcement of such a reorganization so far, and Raider Greg and others are dissatisfied by that. Greg discusses his feelings on this topic and related issues. He comments on a recent article by Mike Silver of Yahoo Sports where Mr. Silver criticizes the firing of Hue Jackson. Segment #2: "The Raiders 2012 Search for a Head Coach" The Raiders have made no official announcements of who they are interviewing for head coach, but based on information coming out from "sources", Raider Greg and many others are not happy with the names being mentioned. Marty Mornhinweg, Mike Tice, and Dom Capers are the only ones with NFL head coaching experience, and their combined won/loss record is something like 80 wins, 140 losses. Segment #3: "Oakland's Proposal For Coliseum City" Raider Greg revisits an article that was published in the East Bay Express back on December 14th. It relates to an announcement that was made by Oakland Mayor Jean Quan about a plan to "build a massive sports village at the Oakland Coliseum. Dubbed "Coliseum City," the project is designed to be privately funded and would include a new ballpark for the A's, a new stadium for the Raiders, and a new arena for the Warriors, along with a convention center, hotel, and retail strip." The A's and Warriors are looking into their own plans to move those two teams, but the Mayor wants to try to keep all three teams in Oakland.

Why do we have to be reminded?" Raider Greg is tired of being reminded of the Tuck Rule game, so this will be his third rant of the show. NO BONELINE SEGMENT THIS SHOW. We only had one caller.
