it gives the organization a chance to review Steve Young as a head coach and not need to bring on any extra payroll for the rest of the season. If it doesn't work out, they start fresh with new people next year......this would be my guess on the thought process.

I do believe Bruno did the best he could and did what he thought was right, it just wasn't working and a change was needed, he's not a fool he saw this coming.

With the experience Craig Bedard brings coaching in Sweeden and with the under 17 western teams I felt he would have been the better assistant to promote.

It was long overdue.Got rid of a screaming control freak and allowed an actual coach lead the team. Just look at the team record when Bruno was at GM meetings or scouting trips. GM job is a position in it self and in this day there is no one that can do both with success. Every player here is Brunos ....so if they do not win its all him..he was being a detriment now to attendance...if he would not have stepped down now hw would have been escorted out of town on sunday'''''after another short handed goal against and blowout

I was shocked by the vicious edge to the comments toward Bruno & the team in the "comments" section following the PA Now article on the press release. Not sure how much hockey knowledge some of these "fans" and readers have, but its obvious there is a lot of anger and frustration towards the Raiders after building high expectations in the community during the preseason for this year.
Don't forget that when he came here the team was one of the most dysfunctional franchises in the league. Off-ice discipline, frat-boy culture of the players, personality conflicts, you name it, we had it. That has all changed and we have a team of polite, respectable players who have a very professional attitude and represent our city well.
I think a lot of the good changes that Bruno brought to the organisation will be overlooked because of the underperformance of the team so far this year.
I think that everyone who follows the Raiders had high hopes for this year. Perhaps Bruno should have turned the reins over to Steve at the start of the season, but I really think he expected to do well this year, and wanted to be in a position to take credit for the success if it happened. Didn't turn out well, so he ended up manning up and taking responsibility for the lack of success. I'm impressed he realized that a fresh perspective might spur the players into achieving their potential. Good luck to Steve. Hopefully the team responds with a great 60 minute effort tonight.
God, we need a win tonight! Please PLEASE support the Raiders tonight, they are in need of all the fan support they can get. Let's show them we care.
