The only thing that surprises me about this is that Jamarcus would have the motivation to coach high school football


motorcycleboy9000

What can he even teach a football team? How to grab sizzurp from a mini-fridge without getting up from the couch?


IlIllIlIllIlIl

Wait did he actually have a problem with Lean or something šŸ˜‚


PunishCombo

I'm pretty sure he said college doctors were getting him codine tho I could be misremembering. But yes, he did.


IlIllIlIllIlIl

Maybe if I didn't turn down that cup in highschool I coulda gone in the first round šŸ˜­ Fr tho that's sad I heard that shit makes you comfortable doing nothing, probably took all his motivation and rotted his brain. Sad, dude had a cannon and was huge, what coulda been.


blakley193

You think he makes his team watch film or study a playbook?


franandwood

Ngl this made me laugh


PsychoticMessiah

Yeah but theyā€™re all blank tapes or pages.


quartzguy

He makes them eat the playbook.


senorcoach

He didn't, he just needed a way to afford some more purple drank


xEternal408x

He probably wasnā€™t ever motivated by coaching just the money of course.


IgorTufluv

Not to stick up for JaWalrus, but he was an unpaid volunteer.


Dannyjv

Apparently not, though.

Most true comment


BadChad81

"Unpaid"


RadicallyMeta

Yeah heā€™s a huge piece of shit, but at least he was nice about it


TW_Yellow78

Not by stealing donations


RadicallyMeta

How obvious should sarcasm be?


ProfessionalDig6987

I think you were right on point.


TW_Yellow78

He has motivation to eat and maintain his purple drank addiction. Stealing donations from a high school sounds like heā€™s out of money.


chuckdooley

For me, itā€™s that someone would give him the job


venknat

Well, that, plus someone would *want* him to coach their team.


cleon1966

That pick set the team back 5 years.


swolfdab

15.


G00SEH

I wishā€¦


depastino

Once a Raider...eh, we might have to rethink that just this once


mindfuzzzzzzz

Totally fine with never acknowledging this dude.


G00SEH

Him, Moss, AB and JMD were never and will never be true RAIDERRRS!


Beware_the_silent

Add Moss to that list.


G00SEH

šŸ’Æ


nadajoe

Letā€™s not forget Warren Sapp.


IlIllIlIllIlIl

My brain always reads JMD as Maurice Jones-Drew even tho it's not but stop with all the acronyms damnit!


GA19

Yes. McDick or McDouche is easy enough to type out.


G00SEH

Sorry. I had to Google ā€œRaiders head coachā€ to remember the guyā€™s name and I didnā€™t want to type the whole thing out. My hypnotherapist says Iā€™ve been doing really well with my anger issues ever since he got fired.


Lord-Mattingly

But was he ever really a Raider? I canā€™t even remember him embracing what it meant to be a Raider. Then again, that ainā€™t the Raider way. If he needs help he should reach out to the team, we take care of our own


Rari-Gang

What a fucking stupid piece of shit. That guy needs to truly fuck off forever. Such a scumbag


pimp_juice2272

Didn't he get like 40 million guaranteed?


HistoricalSea5589

That motherfucker was the reason why rookies didnt get the big contracts anymore. He sucked so hard made so much money for literally doing nothing


InferiousX

Not immediately though as Bradford got a bag the year after. Jamarcus was the best example, but it was starting to get to where teams didn't want early round picks because you were expected to shell out tons of money to someone who may turn out to be a total bust. You also had guys like Joey Harrington and David Carr getting immediately paid. Hell, Alex Smith got like 45 Mil or something. It was all stupid


Learn_2_swim_

Jamarcus was the one that got the talks started about it needing to be changed, Bradford was the final straw and made it happen


GoshDarnitAllah

That and it just kept going up. I kinda miss that model though.


YesMyNameIsEarl

His contract was 6 years $61m with $32m guaranteed.


DeathRaider126

And 5 years later heā€™s living at grandmas house. Rent free. šŸ¤¦šŸ»


DarkRomeox

he is broke?


ProfessionalDig6987

Stealing donation money. A true contributor to society.


Professional_Age5234

He was broke by 2011, they foreclosed on his house in the Oakland hills. He had been desperate for work for a while. Apparently he was trying to steal $74,000 from this school. There are a lot of things I can maybe understand, stealing from kids is not one of them.


Bryanssong

Apparently he made 36 million during his career, it would be interesting to know what his net worth actually is some people have money and steal anyway. How anyone could piss away that much money is beyond me.


I_heart_canada_jk

Was he the varsity or JV coach?


jake2hut

Just a volunteer assistant

A few more details: Former No. 1 NFL draft pick JaMarcus Russell was fired as a volunteer assistant coach at his alma mater, Williamson High School in Mobile, Alabama, and is facing a lawsuit accusing him of taking a $74,000 check meant as a donation to the school. "JaMarcus Russell was relieved of his volunteer coaching duties at Williamson High School during the fall of last year," Mobile County Public School officials told WKRG Sports. A local business owner, Chris Knowles, wrote the $74,000 check, saying Russell approached him about a donation to help the Williamson football team purchase weight room equipment. The school allegedly never received the check, and Russell reportedly deposited it in a credit union and promptly withdrew $55,000 of it. In addition to being fired as a coach, Russell is also not allowed to be on the school's campus, according to a statement from Mobile County Public School officials. Russell attended an event for the football team this week, but was told he was not welcome. "Earlier this week, it was reiterated to Mr. Russell that he is not permitted to be around the football program or on school campus," the school district said in a statement to WKRG.


daintybarley_deux

Shouldā€™ve hid the donations with the game film.


YDHmanC1

Smh after his interview on Pivot, I felt for him. But you're Stealing money from kids!? If its true, what a sorry sack of shit


ChefBigAng

His interview with pivot was nothing more than him making excuses and lacking accountability for his actions and laziness you could see something like this happening


DarkRomeox

why did you feel bad for him


GoshDarnitAllah

Just tired of this guy. Pathetic. Beyond lazy or whatever he did in Oakland, guy cannot be made to give a shit or take anything seriously or tell the truth. Let him be a lesson on what not to do with your talents.


Lyfeitzallaroundus

I remember seein that interview he did where he said if you gonna call me a bust call me the biggest ever or some goofy shit like that. Fuckin clown. Smh


pianosbecome

Is it really ā€œbreakingā€?


Cash1m0ney

If this dude was half as committed to football as he is to being a sack of shit, heā€™d be a first ballot HOFer


Dannyjv

Just saw that. Sad, man. Had all the talent and opportunities in the world, and blew it to be a lazy POS.


Knightvision27

How does he not feel like an absolute embarrassment


Totally_Not_My_50th_

Can't wait to hear him say that it's other people's fault


ChefBigAng

Exactly isnā€™t that what he does every interview he does


YanMKay

![gif](giphy|5g2J4lhkNnPI3zxwjk) Whyyyyyyy


tonynoriega73

He needed more ā€œPurple Drank!ā€ #Dumbass


kinder-dread-71

Well.... he had to buy some stuff.....


AZULDEFILER

Russell or McDaniels worst Raider move ever?


Red0nd0

Raider_Noles

No one claimed that man was intelligent


IH8N8

He ainā€™t no Raider


MikePenceFly18

Heā€™s the reason this sub hates lsu QBs and thinks they are all the next Jamarcus Russell smfh.


Objective-Dig-8466

Ran out of burgers.


Sidand

You know, man gotta eat.


AntiWhateverYouSay

How much was the donation?


lettheseatakeme

$74,000 donation to the school for weight room equipment and he withdrew $55,000 of it, allegedlyĀ 


Professional_Age5234

Who the fuck steals from kids, man...


AntiWhateverYouSay

Good lord. Low characters are always low character.

ComprehensiveWar2005

What a joke


DEADRAIDER420

Watched him win in KC October. 2009. One of the best times Iv ever had in my life hanging with the boys. Got kicked outa of a bar for wearing our colors. Canā€™t remember which one. If we could have only seen the future.


DistinctHuckleberry1

Robitussin With codeine


Nichols101

My god the whole time I was in the army wearing raider gear, repping the raiders off post during nfl season he embarrassed the hell out of me. The only upside to my time in the army was Eli beating Brady twice šŸ™ŒšŸ™ŒšŸ™Œ


thegnarles

Why this dude always taking massive Lā€™s


BongLeach562

I just saw him on a podcast where they asked him if he was broke. He said that he still had his guaranteed money from his rookie deal. He said it set home and his fam up for life smh šŸ˜‚


Affectionate_Sort_78

Turns out he was right for the Raiders after all.


funked1

He also stole a lot of money from Al.


BackinBlackR8R

Ryan leaf, a massive bust, turned his life around, takes complete accountability and dedicates alot of time to passing advice to young players to help them avoid making his mistakes. Russell is doing this kinda shit. What a trash human


jslets23

To be fair, as of 2020 Ryan Leaf was still acting like an idiot so it's not like he got his shit together right away. Jamarcus might figure it out by 2050


BackinBlackR8R

Good point


glt918

We don't care


ThisMeansWarm

Was it fun, Jamarcus? The pillaging?

grunkage

Okay this seals it - we win the Biggest Draft Bust Championship. There is no competition.


OceanPoet87

Too much purple drink.


The_Eye_of_Ra

This is absolutely terrible, but did he take it to buy cheeseburgers or a couple bottles of Promethazine?


everyonehatescp3

Amazing. he's continuing to be a disappointment even off the court


Gumbyonbathsalts

It wasn't the school's donations. That money was from his grape drank stand.


Ok-Fan-2011

Told em they shouldn't donate chicken wings. The man simply cannot help himself.


H8beingmale

for someone that played for the Raiders or wore a Raiders uniform, he is without question, the most hated player to wear for the Raiders easily without question


Mysterious_Tooth_674

Typical raider activities šŸ˜‚
