RAIDER NATION Season THREAD:

Anyone on to the prospect of Trestman coming back as a coordinator?

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

I just want to know when we start narrowing the list. A lot of people have been or will be interviewed it seems.

 

[oaklandca]

 

[yungchamp]

So.....Carr is the qb for the future eh?

 

[romeezee831]

A lot of spots need to be addressed still. Hopefully Reggie can produce some solid picks for this upcoming draft. I wouldn't mind having Sparano as head coach though.

I would love to have Trestman as OC.  

 

[laker4lifeman]

Reggie better contact Suh I'm going to be mad if he doesn't at least try.

Chances of the Lions putting the franchise tag on him?

 

[albooboo]

Lions will not use the franchise tag on Suh. It will cost them $26 mil in guaranted money for the 2015 season. Suh will be a Raiders if Mckenzie wants him here.

 

[ishnaga]

I don't think they can, I forget the reason but... And Del Rio doesn't seem avg or below.

 

[HNL HI]

So far the name I like best is Bevell, worked with Favre/Rodgers as QB coach in GB and was the OC in Minnesota when Favre was there. We already know how Carr feels about Favre.
People on NT say Seattle's offense is boring and Wilson is average but hard to argue the results/efficiency.

 

[ishnaga]

I think there offense is struggling. Def doesn't seem they have the weapons anymore. Just hurry n finish the season already so we can get lynch (fingers crossed)

Rams owner planning L.A. stadium

LOS ANGELES -- The St. Louis Rams could be headed back to Los Angeles as early as 2016.

A year after purchasing 60 acres of land in Inglewood adjacent to the Forum and Hollywood Park, Rams owner Stan Kroenke has teamed up with the owners of the Hollywood Park site to build an NFL stadium, the Los Angeles Times reported Monday.

Stockbridge Capital Group, which owns the 238-acre Hollywood Park site, already had plans for a mixed-use community on the land that formerly housed the famed thoroughbred racing track, which closed in late 2013. Those plans will now include an 80,000-seat stadium and a 6,000-seat performance venue, the companies told the newspaper.

Rams owner Stan Kroenke plans to build an 80,000-seat stadium and a 6,000-seat performance venue on the land that formerly housed thoroughbred racing track Hollywood Park, according to a report.
Many proposed stadium plans have come and gone in the hopes of bringing the NFL back to Los Angeles after the city lost both the Raiders and Rams after the 1994 season, but none of those plans were ever backed by a current NFL owner capable of moving his team into the country's second-largest market.

The Rams are expected to convert their lease at St. Louis' Edward Jones Dome to a year-to-year agreement later this month and, if the team and the city fail to come to an agreement to build a new stadium, the Rams could move back to the area it called home from 1946 to 1994.

"We are excited to unveil an expanded plan that will bring a world-class sports and entertainment district to Hollywood Park," Terry Fancher, founder of Stockbridge, said in a statement to the Times. "We are committed to working with [the Kroenke Group] to build a project that will put Inglewood back on the map as home of the truly great sports and entertainment venues."

Developers of the project told the Times that no tax dollars would be used for the construction project, including the stadium, which could be completed by 2018. Before construction can begin, however, the project must pass several political and environmental hurdles and the Rams must, of course, commit to moving back to Los Angeles after the 2015 season.

Any NFL franchise interested in relocating for the next season would have to apply between Jan. 1 and Feb. 15 of that year, according to league bylaws, and prove it has exhausted all attempts to remain in its current location. The earliest a team could relocate to Los Angeles would be January 2016, and that team would likely play in either the L.A. Coliseum or the Rose Bowl until a new stadium is completed.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said last month that no teams would be moving to Los Angeles for the 2015 season.

The two teams that have always made the most sense to relocate to Los Angeles are the last two NFL teams to leave Los Angeles 20 years ago: the Oakland Raiders and the Rams.

The Raiders' lease to play at O.co Coliseum, formerly known as the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, has expired, and the team is now on a year-to-year agreement. Meanwhile, the Rams can get out of their lease agreement with the St. Louis Convention and Visitors Commission to play at the Edward Jones Dome, as well.

The third team in play for L.A., the San Diego Chargers, can announce its intention to leave San Diego between Feb. 1 and May 1 of each year through 2020 if it pays an early-termination fee tied to the bonds used to expand Qualcomm Stadium in 1997.

The original plan for Hollywood Park, which is 3 miles east of the Los Angeles International Airport, included the construction of 2,995 homes, 620,000 square feet of retail space and 25 acres of parks. A major park called Champion Park is slated to be constructed as part of the first phase.

There are two other stadium proposals currently on the table for NFL stadiums in Los Angeles. The Anschutz Entertainment Group, the company behind Farmers Field, a proposed $1.5 billion football stadium and convention center expansion in downtown Los Angeles, got a six-month extension in October to its existing agreement with the city of Los Angeles for the project.

AEG requested an extension to allow for additional time to pursue an NFL team and to further assess and develop an alternative development plan for the expansion and modernization of the Los Angeles Convention Center and the potential construction of another large hotel at L.A. Live.

It committed to spend up to $600,000 over the next six months to commission designs for a proposed alternative plan for the convention center expansion and improvement, as well as the possibility of an additional 750-room hotel adjacent to L.A. Live and the Convention Center.

A competing stadium proposed by real estate magnate Ed Roski in the City of Industry, California, a suburb of Los Angeles, has been deemed shovel-ready for years. But as is the case with Farmers Field, it needs a long-term commitment from an NFL team before construction can begin.

Roski's 600 acres in the City of Industry could be used for commercial development if a stadium never materializes. Nearly 20 years ago, NFL owners approved a plan to build a new, privately financed $200 million stadium in Hollywood Park to keep the Raiders in town after the Rams had already bolted for St. Louis.

The stadium would have been the home of the Raiders, at least two future Super Bowls and potentially a second NFL team. Raiders owner Al Davis, however, balked at the idea of sharing a stadium with a second team and headed back to Oakland.

Two decades later, the NFL could be looking at a return to Los Angeles and to the last, best stadium proposal the city had to keep the NFL in the first place.

Back to LA Rams?


I'm glad Mark and Reggie haven't done anything rash yet. Interview as many candidates as possible.

 

[raider5]

We interviewed Mike Shanahan?! 

 Don't do it, Mark...I'd rather stick with Sporano...

 

[oaklandca]

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Lol I would be interested in seeing Shanahan return.

 

[HNL HI]

Al rolling in his grave.

 

[The_Isomotion31]

I'd be down for Shanahan. lol. Can you imagine? He does have the best overall record out of all the candidates. But it can probably just be attributed to a longer tenure in the NFL.

 

[ishnaga]

Id rock wit shannahan also. Didn't kno he was still coaching. How are you guysbseeingnthis info of who we interveiw?

 

[HNL HI]

Twitter is the best place to keep track, though the bay area media doesn't seem to be as plugged in this go around.
