  • OAKLAND RAIDERS HEAD COACH JACK DEL RIO Opening
    OAKLAND RAIDERS HEAD COACH JACK DEL RIO Opening Statement: We talked about coming into this ballgame about their ability to feast on turnovers; it’s a big part of what they’ve done to start the year. Definitely one of the ‘must’ coming in is to protect the ball [and] take it away ourselves, we end up minus four today. Clearly, that was one of the biggest factors of the game; I mean, usually is. Minus fours, not many people winning with minus four. We had two guys: one didn’t finish, one didn’t ever make it. Jamize [Olawale] with the hamstring on the long run that got called back and Seth [Roberts] [who is] sick. Found that out on the bus ride over. Left him active with hopes we can get some fluids in him and have him appear, but he never was able to make it. Those are the only things that were brought to my attention. Got off to a great start. Looked like we were going to have a good day, but offensively, it came out right down the field, had a fourth down attempt and got it, and went ahead and finished off the drive and got a touchdown there. Then, defensively went out and did a nice job of getting them stopped, and we had a good start to the game. Then we continued to play, and the end of the day, we look up, and we’re only 3 of 13 on third down. I would imagine a couple of those came on that first drive, so that’s not real good.

  • Tomlin Latest Minority Fellowship Grad to Join Head-Coaching Ranks; Makes It a Foursome with Edwards, Lewis & Smith
    TOMLIN LATEST MINORITY FELLOWSHIP GRAD TO JOIN HEAD-COACHING RANKS; MAKES IT A FOURSOME WITH EDWARDS, LEWIS & SMITH The NFL MINORITY COACHING FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM keeps producing head coaches. In 2007, it will be MIKE TOMLIN, new head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers who is only the third head coach in the past 38 years for the club. Tomlin interned with the Cleveland Browns in the summer of 2000 when he was the defensive backs coach of the University of Cincinnati. He joins three other minority coaches who partook in the fellowship program who are now NFL head coaches – HERM EDWARDS of the Kansas City Chiefs, MARVIN LEWIS of the Cincinnati Bengals and LOVIE SMITH of the Chicago Bears. These four make up the majority of the six African-American head coaches in the league this year. The NFL Minority Coaching Fellowship Program, instituted in 1981, provides training-camp positions for minority coaches at NFL clubs. Nearly 1,000 minority coaches have participated in the program since its inception.
