I don’t know why the Raiders wouldn’t consider bringing Reggie McKenzie back to the organization. He was doing a decent job as GM there until Gruden decided to throw him under the bus.
So Miami will not let him leave, and no one blames them. Not even Mark Davis.
If you recall, Reggie McKenzie was dragged through the mud for his drafting. In 2012 he only had two picks and the NFL gave him compensatory picks, inherited issues. In 2013 Reggie was roasted for reaching hard for DJ Hayden and it only got worse from there, good thing that Latavius Murray was a grand slam. The 2014 draft was the usual, the Raiders failed to jump up and get Sammy Watkins and let Mike Evans go, never mind the Johnny Manziel drop. In 2015 McKenzie took it hard for Amari Cooper over Kevin White and the multi round reach for Mario Edwards. In 2016 it was actually suggested that Reggie had no business being a GM.
In short Reggie McKenzie was cut down and criticized his entire time with the Raiders. It doesn’t matter who Mark Davis hires, they will get the same treatment. Wait until Antonio Pierce goes on a 3 game losing streak, the comments here and the sport media will be ruthless.
Not great but did draft Derek Carr and Khalil Mack. Also shored up the Online with acquisitions of R Hudson, Osemele, Penn.
I heard the Eagles OC Johnson is a candidate for HC for the Panthers,LOL. Please hire him away !
