Breaking News:
The :Oakland_Raiders: have announced the hiring of their next Head Coach. The Raiders have introduced Mike Smith as the new Head Coach of the Oakland Raiders. Smith was released from Atlanta last off season. The deal will be for 3 years and pay Smith 4.33 million dollars.
Breaking news:
:Miami_Dolphins: sign rookie Head Coach Daniel Singer to a three year deal. Terms of the deal have not been released.
Fan reaction to the signing of Smith has not been overwhelmingly positive. Many believe dropping Allen in favour of Smith is a lateral move at best. Smith brings a Hybrid D philosophy and a Power run O philosophy. Some personnel changes may be in order???
