The Raiders are 1-2. A quick look at the standings reveals that there are 16 teams with a 1-2 record or worse, a full 1/2 of the league. No one in their right mind would fire a first-year head coach in the first half of the season unless something really bad happens, like if an Urban Meyer or Jon Gruden-type of situation arises.
Even if the Raiders lose their next 6 straight games to start the season 1-8, I don't see Pete getting the hook. IMO his job is safe this season. As 4XPIPS said, if any coach is on the hot seat, it's McDaniel, in his 3rd season, and/or Daboll in his 4th, but even those guys aren't going to get canned this early in the year.
Once teams start getting mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, then we can start a death watch thread.
