Hue made horrible trade for Raiders in Palmer deal and wanted to do the same for AJM.
He is useful as a coach but should never be in the upper echelons of the hierarchy in my humble opinion.
He is the reason our OL sucks so freakin badly now with his foolish picks.
He got a couple of nice players at other spots but nobody that is great.
But do like him as an assistant except for OC, or DC and think he will help this year per Marvin having to coach D.
Yet still checking out if he is named HC next season.
I was a big Hue as OC fan but you are very right in calling out the influence of Gruden ...maybe his impact was underestimated at the time.
Plus another massive compliment is that he had to hit in the 2011 draft after the CPalmer fallout and without a full off season prep for his rookie QB and WR.
The fact we transitioned from the Palmer era to Dalton era pretty seamlessly in one constrained off season was a damn impressive coaching and drafting job
