I don't think it would work because Al Davis would be butting heads with Belichick
The only person Al trusted was Amy Trask, she is like the daughter Al never had. Mark's biggest mistake was not doing everything he could to keep her.

Hey, Dave..I also have been a fan since 1968...many great memories and now we have Genius Josh McDaniels....
Also further proof that the Davis family will always make Decisions that will set this franchise back.

She isn't interested in this trash team
Gruden was an excellent choice. Alot of people don't remember just how good that team was under Gruden. His final game as the Raiders head coach (until 2018) was against Bill Belicheck in the Tuck Game. The fact that Davis traded Gruden after watch Belicheck raise the Lombardi only to watch Gruden hoist it the next year shows that Al at that point in time was far too impatient. Should have stuck with Gruden and they likely would have won the Super Bowl in 2002

It worked the best the 1st time around because Gruden was ONLY coaching...I think the 2nd time around woulda been better if Gruden didn't have total control...Gruden is a hell of a coach BUT...lowsy at drafting/player acquisition.

Thank you for giving Gruden his proper due. And the reason why Al Davis traded Gruden to Tampa had less to do with impatience, and everything to do with his jealousy over Gruden getting the love that he got from the fans.

In other interviews she mentions she and Gruden didn’t talk much, and she didn’t think much of Bill Callahan has HC. But they all seemed to do their job well enough to build us a winning team for several seasons.
When he thinks no one is looking Jon behaves like a litttle boy I doubt Bill behaves like that.
AD might’ve balanced out BB. AD: let’s draft the fastest mfer in the draft BB: how about a safety Both: larry Fitzgerald
You all forget when Al hired John Madden, John ran the Raiders!
Need more Amy Trask stories. These are 💎! RN4L ☠️
Bill wouldn’t have lasted. AL woulda found ways to push him out.
Al should have left HER the team. Not stupid Mark.
Al Davis was clueless his last few years
Amy opposed the move to Vegas 👏 Smart woman
gannon may have had his best years in raiders but i still thought he was damn good with the chiefs bill woulda been a good coach for him
Reminds me I need to renew my Botox injections.
Wow, what the greatest franchise of all time could’ve been. That’s if they hired him.
I don't think it would have worked with Al Davis as the GM. The bad drafting would have frustrated Belichick.
I would love to hear Bill Burr's comments on this uplifting NFL interview between two "powerful" women!
Unless he had the foresight at the time to draft a then unknown tom brady, I don't see how belichick would've been a better pick than Gruden? Belichick sucked entirely in cleveland, and has sucked in new england without brady. Gruden won a lot with the raiders in his first stint there. Then he got tampa over the hump, and, in spite of what the haters will say, he had the raiders playing respectable football during his second time there. Yeah, the first year was rough. But then things got better each year after. And he did all of this with QBs (gannon, johnson, carr) that, on their best day, nobody would mistake for brady on his worst.
Al did Belichick a favor by not hiring him. No way he could have created a dynasty under Davis. Davis just didn’t have the patience. Unlike Kraft, that man had the patience to allow Bill to be Bill.
One minute in and she already sounds like shes trying to say she saw him for what he currently is, and that maybe true because nobody now wants Bill. For obvious reasons. Bill, in reality was all Tom, granted Bill was a good defensive coach but the offense of the Patriots was all Tom. Could Bill have been a great defensive coach? We don't know and will more than likely never know now because of his current situation. In hindsight we all need to understand that Al understood football, until his later years, and everyone makes mistakes. Gurden became a good choice for that team in that monent. I honestly don't think the Raiders would've been able to do anything will Bill because of who he is.
Yeahhh but he wouldn’t have had Brady soooo
If Mark Davis would only humble himself to seek opinions from others before what seems like taking a stab at it! Props to Amy!

John gruden was a good coach.. he brought us back to the playoffs… before the crazy NFL got involved
If true, the world wouldn't know who Bill is, was. He would of lasted a year or two, and been fired.
The Princess of Darkness.
Mark isn't that sharp. Just my opinion. Gruden could spot certain talent, but wasn't always on the mark. He could of built a possible Superbowl team in time.

Brady left because he wanted to prove he could win without Bill and wanted to expose Bill. He also wanted receiver's to throw to finally besides Moss, he's had no great receivers. He took GRONK with him. Lol
Unless Brady came too…….Belichick would’ve been just another coach

Sad that Al left the team to Garbage Mark instead of Amy
Rich Gannon wasn't the QB, Jeff George was the QB and Al had a man crush on him. Bill would have loved Rich more because of his FEARLESS no nonsense. As I always say when he took those video games way and pool balls he was flirting with danger. A lot of Raider defensive players were collectively the most idiotic in the league, not to mention usually the biggest. Bill would have liked that discipline and fearlessness.
Al Davis destroyed the Raiders
More salt in the wound
Bill belichik wouldn’t have the success in Oakland since we didn’t have Tom Brady
Yah. It's 90% Brady. Belichick has had 4 years without Brady, and only made the playoffs once.

Brady left a Patriots team that was full of holes and went to Buccaneers team that was only a QB away from being a contender, it's not a fair comparison.
Yeah higher Bill belichick Brady made the Patriots what they were without Brady who's belichick's
BUT, what is Belichick without Brady? As the years pass it's not looking so good for Belichick...

So winning 2 Super Bowls (XXI & XXV) as Defensive Coordinator for the NY Giants is losing? Belichick has 8 rings (1 more than Brady!). However, 100% agree w/ Amy the 2 of them were exponentially more successful together - 6 rings over 2 dynasties.
