Oakland Raiders: Reggie McKenzie was architect of his own demise

Dry your eyes, Oakland Raiders fans. We may be losing Reggie McKenzie after the season, but we may be – will hopefully be – getting somebody who can actually evaluate NFL talent and build a competent roster.

With reports that McKenzie is gone once the season concludes, there have been a lot of interesting reactions, to say the least. Most of the theories center around head coach Jon Gruden – Mark Davis’ eternal mancrush and $100 million dollar man – drop kicking McKenzie out the door.

And while there may be a kernel of truth in that, there is one far more radical (and probably accurate) theory most aren’t stopping to consider: McKenzie’s demise has come around as a result of nothing more than McKenzie himself.
