A new coach, new staff, and new faces among the players. The Raiders have certainly dispensed with the idea of waiting to rebuild. Al Davis is committed to winning here and now. The new roster has much promise, young and old, but can these Raiders return to the post season this year after such a drastic face lift?.

Hello football fans. I'm Eastbay, and I've been a Raider fan since the day I was born. I was there when the Raiders bested the Vikings in Superbowl XI. I was around when Jim Plunkett ousted the Eagles in Superbowl XV. I witnessed the immortal beating the Redskins took from us in Superbowl XVIII. Yep, I've witnessed the glory days of our Raiders and stuck around during the lean years. With that in mind, I made this website to celebrate two things:
The Oakland Raiders are back! |
|
The Oakland Raiders will revisit the Superbowl! |
Now that we have THAT out of the way, allow me to share my take on the Raiders 2002 season: The release of Jon Gruden: an end of an era. I've always believed in Jon Gruden as a coach and despite the heavy price that the Buccs have paid for him, I don't think they'll be sorry.
Bill Callahan now hopes to fill the void recently created by Gruden's absence. Free agent acquisitions and (supposedly) a return to Power Football should bring out team back to the playoffs for the third straight campaign.
