Executive of the Year

Reggie McKenzie, Oakland Raiders

It wasn’t long ago that Oakland fans were clamoring for McKenzie to be fired. Ownership resisted, and that patience has finally paid off this season.

Oakland sits at 7-2 and are atop the AFC West. This is a young team that is good and very fun to watch. They’re likely a year away from being a Super Bowl contender because of some defensive issues, but they’ve very close.

McKenzie deserves credit for rebuilding what was a terrible roster when he arrived. It was ugly at times along the way, but the results we’re seeing right now speak for themselves.

Others deserving votes: Thomas Dimitroff, Howie Roseman
