New GMs, HCs, OCs, DCs, QBs, WRs, OL, DL… so on… The raiders need new ownership. It’s time they got with the modern times. The only constant variable in the last 20 years of mostly misery is the Davis family. Thoughts?

While you’re not wrong on the coaching carousel, my biggest fear on Mark Davis selling is the new owner will come in and the Raider image and brand will change.
New logo? New uniforms? New brand? … New name? Like it would be stupid to mess with the Raider brand, but how many times have you seen business people or shareholders make stupid fucking decisions about a brand. What if Elon comes in and buys the Raiders and changes them to the Las Vegas X? Unlikely? I’d like to think so. Impossible? This is my concern.
The current Raider brand and appeal is mostly suited towards their largely blue collar working class fanbase. Go watch that old HBO special on Oakland sports. That’s the image, and that image is tightly bound to the Davis family.
I’d like to see Mark get some better advisors in his ear. He selflessly admits he doesn’t know football like his dad did. He needs to see that the people advising him aren’t doing a good job and get better people in. I’m talking above the GM/HC level.
