Been a Raider fan for a longtime now and I'm so happy to see him bring back that Raider Mentality
Lmao yea raider mentality but horrible coach/coaches 😂
@@thirdstrike4 looks like we got some typical Raider hater here
@@Megacooler96_he’s on every comment let him have his fun time.
@fernandosantiago1679 yeah I noticed. Just a typical troll
@@thirdstrike4 You're definitely a charger fan.
2024 coach of the year!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Whoa there bud, I'd love that too but baby steps. This man don't need no unreasonable expectations
Bro chill I’m a big raiders fan but 😂😂
I could see it if he keeps the defense playing like the last 9 games hes got it
Saw dis comment & thought he raider fan fasho! But is he lying?
As a bronco fan this dude is dope you can tell right away He knows that he doesn't know everything but knows who does
Gangsta’
Agree bro
Ain't always what you know but who you know and what you bring. We'll see it how he does. As a raider fan hope for the best but I don't hold my breath.
The fact that he went 5-4 after inheriting a team that was run into the ground by McDummy shows he's a good coach too. Not many coaches could do that.
🙏 As a Raider fan also hope the Broncos make a comeback and AFC is the best and most competitive division.
This is the first time in a long time i have been excited to be a Raiders fan. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!! ☠️ 🏴☠️
Same!
First time to be excited in the off season for sure 😂
Best coach for the Raiders.
One win over .500, smokes cigars, wore a Raider hat once, coached linebackers for 18 months...... but sure, BEST coach......
Absolutely love this guy. Wish more coaches were "down to earth" and less corporate and cliché.
They messed around and let a real one in the building 💯
That's my coach. I know their will be growing pains, but I will be patient as can be. Go #Raiders
We gotta come out swinging this year!!!
No patience allowed when we could've had Harbaugh or Vrabel.... if we come out and get 4th in the division and our offense sucks then he's on thin ice.
I like how he called him out on his make up! 😂
Man, I haven’t been able to smile while watching my coach in a very long time. I’m so happy and I finally don’t feel like this is false hope this time! lol it’s been a rough 23-24 years for this raider fan.
I am with you 100%
Never been prouder to be a Raiders fan can't wait to see what Tom and Champ put together for AP Graham And Getsy!
Wishing AP well. Sounds like a solid guy.
The Realest Raiders Coach I've ever seen in my Lifetime I appreciate his Culture and Moves and inspiration for Raiders players to run through a Brick Wall RN4L
Lets Go AP! Lets make the Raiders the most feared team!
That's hilarious. Especially in this division.
We put up 63 on the chargers. We beat the Chiefs on Christmas and made Kelsey throw a temper tantrum. We also made mahomes cry. So far so good
Nobody wants none of this defense...what you talking about!@@weztciide619
*again
@@weztciide619the division the raiders placed second in after having a terrible coach? 12-5 if AP was the coach from the beginning. Nuff said
I LOVE IT! Circle freakin K coffee!!!!! Now that is what ya call … no frills - get down to business… RAIDERRRRRS!
😂 i saw that
Shows he doesn't need a $15 coffee like some people, he's normal why hate on him??
it's a compliment. Actually a high compliment.
I seen that. Me and coach make that same stop in morning my tumbler got that 🏴☠️ on it. If this offense does a little bit this team is gonna be special. Raiders vs everybody 🏴☠️ ☠️ ☠️
I’m finna go get some circle k coffee right now
I left Dallas Cowboys and became Raiders Nation🔥🔥🔥
Welcome!!!
Welcome to the silver and black 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
@itsBennett Thanks. I been a fan of Dallas Cowboys since 1991, but enough of the shenanigans there. I deserve a change🔥🔥
just drop the “s” and make it Raider Nation & tell them it’s only one nation at the end. 🏴☠️
@@ramendahomie 🔥🔥
Let’s go AP
As a Raiders fan it’s hard for us not to root for him he’s one of us. He’s a Raiders fan living every Raiders fans dream which is to do everything possible for the Raiders to win. Raiders need someone like him and also respect his humility to ask for help and surround himself with experienced guys.
Coach AP is gonna take us the promise land love his confidence leadership his style the raider way first time in a long I feel we're gonna go all the way raidersss
AP is real. Not fake. Go Raiders!
Facts 🤷🏿♂️💯
Raider Nation is the biggest fan base in the world. Raiders is a global brand and we support AP. The Raiders Way + RNWA... Just Win 🏴☠️
On a coaching scale of 1 to 10. AP is a 10. Perfect Raiders Head Coach. Raaaaiders
AP has a ton of energy and I love it. My 8 year old wouldn’t even be able to keep up. He’s gonna do great things for us.
This dude rocks!!! Best of luck to him next season
literally the perfect coach for them
Dude I would run through a wall for AP. That man wants me to push through on my everyday life. RAAIIDDEERRSS!!!
RAAAIDERSSSS...love that we have AP as our coach. Great interview, thanks!
AP is what the Raiders needed. He gonna coach us to the bowl 🤍🖤
Bro the chargers got Jim Harbaugh ….
@@steez9609 You scared??
@@JD-ww9fc no
@@steez9609 Good you shouldn't be..
@@steez9609 oh, you mean the guy who was 7-9 his last time in the nfl... over ten years ago.
The first time I heard him. I Said Damnit THAT'S OUR COACH
The Raider machine has laid dormant since '02... now, we finally have the right man to bring the old Raider smash mouth football back! That win in Kansas Shitty was just the beginning... AP is the man to bring back the competitiveness, the fire and the attitude! Raider Nation can rejoice! RAAAAIIIIDDDERRRRSSSS!!!!
Raiders on pace to beat Mahomes 6 times before he retires 😂👍
Seahawks fan here, and I really like this dude. His passion is infectious. I can tell why players respond to him.
Every time AP speaks you just get that ADRENALINE pumping and feel INVINCIBLE!!! I am ecstatic for this upcoming season, let's go 📣RRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIÍIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSSS 💀🏴☠️💀🏴☠️💀🏴☠️
AP getting the full time gig and retaining Patrick Graham is such a relief for the raiders. Shame we missed on OC. Hopefully that's not the downfall.
Don’t think we missed on an oc season hasn’t even started yet
Hopefully we get the qb right. That’s the last piece. If getsy fails, it should only be a 1 year trial
AP made it work with Josh McDummy's assistant as OC. Im sure he can win with getsy
I'm a Niner Girl & I'm so happy for the Raiders to have AP as their Head Coach!! He's gonna do amazing things!!
Much appreciated from Raider Nation. Good luck this weekend! Go get that ship 🏆 #beatthechiefs
Can’t wait til next season🎉😊 Let’s do this!
That’s my coach! 🫡🏴☠️
Good interview!! So pumped for AP, the whole organization, the community and the Raider Nation!! ☠️🏴☠️☠️🏴☠️!!
LETS GO!!
AP YOUR AWESOME coming a long time raider fan RAIDERRSSS
Los Angeles Raiders 4-life 👊🏼☠️✊🏼
AP the best coach since John madden, art shell and Tom Flores
Settle down.
😂🩶🖤🏴☠️☠️🏁💯@@joenobody5631
Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
5-12 Harbaugh and KC running a train on the Raiders
When have the chargers ever ran a train on the raiders? They've had Herbert for years buddy calm down and we put them out of playoff contention.
Ap lets light it up next season
Just get players back to being nasty. That's all we have wanted and AP can do this. Much respect.
When you roll up to the Stadium in a 64? It, doesn’t get anymore Gangster than that!!! AP is the Raider way!!!! RAIDEERRRZZZZZ 🏴☠️💀☠️💀☠️🏴☠️
Love AP. Keep it up brother! We got this!
No problem addmiting this cried when we hired AP...it felt like a 20 year weight lifted of off my shoulders..its hard when you love something and it treats you bad for 20+ years
Love AP let’s goooo raiders !!
I love the interview...GO RAIDERS!!!!
We love AP
As a Raider fan I'm always hopeful for the season. However I've never been more exited for a coach to bring back that Raiders mean spirit that put fear in the hearts of their opponents. Raider Nation is back #ThatFanLife
Love the f-bomb on the ESPN cut 😆
Having the Niners and chiefs in the Super Bowl at our house, it’s gonna make the Raiders wana go get one too!!!! AP is going to lead us there!!
Arrowhead West 😂👍
@@wc1994 sound dumb af
He’s the one to change the culture fasho
Poverty franchise
Awesome interview
Hope he succeeds i love this new wave of player coaches coming in and having success. Dan Campbell and Demeco Ryans most recently. I hope Antonio Pierce is next
Best coach of the year
Let's Go Raiderzzzzz
AP for president ☠️☠️
I’m 45 years old, and this is the most excited I’ve ever been about a Raiders coach. I’d run through a brick wall for this guy and I know ever player on the team would too. Just win baby!!!
All these dudes want to play for him me too
I am soooo friggin excited about this guy. He is saying all the right things. We HAVE TO WIN so we can keep him around forever. GO AP!!!! RN4L!!!!
Straight to the point type of coach. Reminds me of Mike Tomlin on
He's taking the Raiders to the promise land.
Coach pierce thank you for being what Commitment to Excellence is.
i don't understand why AP gets hate
Confident people make insecure people feel even more insecure.
I don’t know anyone who hates on him there are just 10000000 better coaches out there…
@@vicp7078better coaches that got less interviews around the league than him?… lol ok
How do you know that? You may be looking at the future HOF coach!!! @vicp7078
im a big raiders fan, i love him but personally aside from the chargers game he was to conservative
That circle K cup is all you need to see. Circle K coffee is not the prettiest or the fanciest coffee but goddam it, it gets the job done when you need it. Be like Circle K coffee my friend.
I love it!!!!
"I'm not passing any tests" lmao
Hope AP resurrects the raiders. The NFL is just better when certain teams are relevant and the Raiders is one of those teams.
Houston fan here . This guy sounds like a great coach already ! Happy for yall !
I live in Vegas but I’ve been a Bears fan since 1985. This guy has me wanting to go all in with the Raiders.
Come on over to the dark side. It’s fun here 🏴☠️
This what a raiders coach should be thank you god
Absolutely without a doubt a great hire from his player perspective, not a raiders fan but I hope this guy can win in Vegas
as a chiefs fan i'm sad the raiders have a good coach again
R A I D E R S‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥😎
RAAAAIIIDDEEERRRRSSSSS!!!!! LFG AP!!
Circle K fresh brewed coffee every cup ❤
Thank you Mark Davis for learning from your mistakes. Thank you for listening to the players this time. Thank you for hiring the right man to bring glory back to this franchise. Commitment to excellence.
RAIDER NATION BABYYYYYYY. I always want success for my team, but this year more than ever because I want to see AP succeed! AP is a True Raider
A.P. That's my Coach. RAAAAAIIIIIIDDDDDDEEEEERRRRRRSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Teams will FEAR us once again.
Great show
AP had them boys ready to suite up again!
Don't worry, next season we will be a playoff team, might take some time to become a superbowl team.
Make sure you put Jackson on the coaching staff
Awesome interview with AP fellas!! I have thought and been saying for a long time that it’s going to take a Raider, somebody like AP, to make it work for this organization!! It’s a unique organization and it has to be this way! I’m so happy Mark Davis finally realized that too!! Just to have the raiders back to being The Raiders is worth the price of admission to a game!! Winning again sure helps too! 😉
Raidersssssssssss
I think AP was meant to be one of The Raiders' best coaches, Madden,Flores, Pierce ! #RNFL Since '73
The coach we needed baby 🙏 let’s go get Jayden!!!!!
Love this guy!!!!!
GETTING LOUDER AND PROUDER!! RRRAAAIIIDDDEEERRRSSS!!!
AP da MAN! Let’s go! RN4L
Congrats, well deserved👏🏾
ONE NATION
Love it!
I really don't think people understand...like really understand how intelligent this man is. Extremely self aware of his strengths and weaknesses and knows how to use both to position himself and the team for success. Don't be fooled by the naysayers saying that he is a rah rah coach. He knows what he is doing!
So Ready! Raiders!!!
So So happy with this hire .Thank you chucky
The Raider Way is back....Bout time we've been lost at sea to long....Play time is over... Let's get it AP
good job
Great hire!
That Circle K cup was ready to run through a wall for Coach
