Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis doesn’t plan on doing things the way his late father Al Davis did and I can’t say I blame him. He plans on making many changes over the next few months.
“It’s a brand new day,” Davis said per NFL.com. “When he came to the Raiders in 1963, there were maybe six coaches, eight coaches, maybe four front-office people. Scouts like Ron Wolf and those guys. They did it on a shoe string.
“The business part really wasn’t there. It was all football. Just win. Over the years, it just grew and grew and grew and I think the size of the league and the size of the organization and the different things you had to deal with, media and all those things, kind of dwarfed the capabilities of the organization. Instead of a clean start with the organization, there’s been a lot of plugging holes.
“So at certain point in the near future, after careful evaluation, there will be a more modern structure so to speak.”
Davis has been very happy with the way new general manager Reggie McKenzie has put the new structure in place.
“I have the utmost confidence in him to do it,” Davis said.
Davis admits “this will be a learning process.”
