The two of them talked by phone last Wednesday. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to plugging a \u003ca href=\"http://www.oaklandgrown.org/gift-card/\">new gift card that can be used at multiple local Oakland businesses\u003c/a> and reflecting on how to get the economy going, Quan talked about the \u003ca href=\"http://recallquan.com/\">effort by some to recall her\u003c/a> and the impact of the Occupy movement. Here are some of the highlights:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A poll showed your approval rating at 16%. Does that affect your ability to govern?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThis is a very tough job I have I can’t worry about the day to day polls…it’s we just have too much at stake. I haven’t had the time really to sit down with my family and talk about the long term politics. We just want, the holiday season is particularly important to any city. We want to get the economy going to as well as we can to help all the residents of the city.\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Are you taking the effort to recall you seriously?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nI think I have to take everything seriously. I hear that sour grapes of certain candidates that lost in the past might be funding the signatures. I think that’s a shame. What I’m hearing is even some business people who might not have liked what happened in occupy, they’re happy now, they want the city to get back to business. A recall can be very divisive and it can be very time, energy and money consuming, so most business people I’ve talked to have said they’re not supporting the recall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are some of the ways you’re trying to drum up support for downtown merchants in Oakland?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nAs you know the Oakland economy has been pretty hard hit like most of the Bay Area, and the downtown demonstrations have particularly hit our downtown merchants, even Chinatown which is nowhere near downtown tells us that they had 40% drop off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what we’re hoping to do is remind people that Oakland has 40 unique and distcint neighborhoods and invite them to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A lot of the merchants, though, are still pretty angry at the handling of the protests and feel business has gone down and really blame you. How are you going to win those people back? \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nI get beat up from both sides. There are people who thought we could leave [the occupiers]. And then there are those who thought I should have taken them out on the first day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think most of us across the country, the mayors who have had to deal with this, we didn’t know quite what to expect. When the camps first started they were mostly peaceful and positive palces. But by the second week in many cities, because of the problems urban palces have with the homeless with mentally ill people, and unfortunately in the Bay Area we have very negative archist group that likes to fight the police and wouldn’t work this the city…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think by taking the time, particularly the second time, to talk with the demonstrators, particularly those who wanted to be peaceful and to work with our churches and our comunty groups I think you’ve had a final resolution that’s been more peaceful and more lasting than some fo the other cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland last weekend had three different events that had nothing to do with the encampment around the 99%.

The two of them talked by phone last Wednesday. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to plugging a \u003ca href=\"http://www.oaklandgrown.org/gift-card/\">new gift card that can be used at multiple local Oakland businesses\u003c/a> and reflecting on how to get the economy going, Quan talked about the \u003ca href=\"http://recallquan.com/\">effort by some to recall her\u003c/a> and the impact of the Occupy movement. Here are some of the highlights:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A poll showed your approval rating at 16%. Does that affect your ability to govern?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThis is a very tough job I have I can’t worry about the day to day polls…it’s we just have too much at stake. I haven’t had the time really to sit down with my family and talk about the long term politics. We just want, the holiday season is particularly important to any city. We want to get the economy going to as well as we can to help all the residents of the city.\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Are you taking the effort to recall you seriously?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nI think I have to take everything seriously. I hear that sour grapes of certain candidates that lost in the past might be funding the signatures. I think that’s a shame. What I’m hearing is even some business people who might not have liked what happened in occupy, they’re happy now, they want the city to get back to business. A recall can be very divisive and it can be very time, energy and money consuming, so most business people I’ve talked to have said they’re not supporting the recall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are some of the ways you’re trying to drum up support for downtown merchants in Oakland?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nAs you know the Oakland economy has been pretty hard hit like most of the Bay Area, and the downtown demonstrations have particularly hit our downtown merchants, even Chinatown which is nowhere near downtown tells us that they had 40% drop off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what we’re hoping to do is remind people that Oakland has 40 unique and distcint neighborhoods and invite them to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

How are you going to win those people back? \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nI get beat up from both sides. There are people who thought we could leave [the occupiers]. And then there are those who thought I should have taken them out on the first day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think most of us across the country, the mayors who have had to deal with this, we didn’t know quite what to expect. When the camps first started they were mostly peaceful and positive palces. But by the second week in many cities, because of the problems urban palces have with the homeless with mentally ill people, and unfortunately in the Bay Area we have very negative archist group that likes to fight the police and wouldn’t work this the city…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think by taking the time, particularly the second time, to talk with the demonstrators, particularly those who wanted to be peaceful and to work with our churches and our comunty groups I think you’ve had a final resolution that’s been more peaceful and more lasting than some fo the other cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland last weekend had three different events that had nothing to do with the encampment around the 99%. I think the movement is going to move on from the encampments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are you negotiating with Occupy protestors now?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nI wish that I could negotiate with so called Occupy Oakland.

Still, Quan is only one year into a four-year term. Crisis communications consultant Chris Lehane — who knows from political low points (think Monica Lewinsky. He helped manage that scandal in the Clinton White House) — \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/11/07/interview-political-consultant-chris-lehane-on-how-big-city-mayors-should-handle-occupy-wall-street-protests/\">told Scott Shafer last week\u003c/a> that Quan can still come back from the Occupy Oakland crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think ultimately people in these positions will be evaluated over the long term,” Lehane said. “She’s apologized, which is important, particularly for politicians, who almost never apologize. This situation is so big, there’s going to be little she can do in the day to day. Politicians have to realize you’re not going to immediately come back, they have to have a long-term strategy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Given her history, that she came up through community activism, she’s someone who can step up with an interesting policy or program and seize the moment in a positive way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yesterday, KQED’s Joshua Johnson interviewed Quan fresh off her defeat on Measure I, a $60 million parcel tax that would have been used for a range of services related to public safety, city services, and infrastructure needs. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing in particular I found interesting about the mayor’s answers, as well as those she gave in a recent \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/11/09/mayor-quan-on-all-things-considered-weve-got-the-extended-interview/\">national interview with NPR\u003c/a>, is how sympathetic she appears to be to the Occupy movement’s goals and even its internal processes, going so far in the NPR segment as to explain in detail the reasoning behind the Occupy Oakland general assembly’s refusal to let her address the encampment. To which All Things Considered correspondent Martin Kaste said, almost incredulously, “but you’re the mayor!” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is Joshua Johnson’s interview. A transcript follows the audio. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/11/quanjohnson.mp3\">\u003cstrong>Audio: Jean Quan on Failure of Measure I, Occupy Oakland, and the City’s Economy\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n[audio:http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/11/quanjohnson.mp3|titles=quanjohnson]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are your thoughts on the outcome of the Measure I election? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not surprising. Even the San Francisco tax measures went down. In Oakland we’ve been a little distracted so the people who normally would have been out there campaigning for this didn’t have much time to work for it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it means we will not be able to restore some of the services we cut. At the beginning of the year I put out several options, including an all-cuts budget. Luckily the employees of the city gave back 10 %., undertaking for the first time major pension reform relief in the city. Even the police are now paying into their pension. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We could have restored some of the cuts, some full-time senior programs, some road and tree people, some park maintenance people, to add and upgrade our technology at the libraries, which needs constant funding to keep the internet and other services going. And probably most importantly for Oaklanders, it was going to allow us the extra money for police recruitment and training. The baby boomers are retiring and the replacement of police officers are probably the most expensive cost. It costs us about 100k to train and recruit new police officers. With boomers retiring at a higher rate, we really don’t necessarily have enough money right now to keep up with that. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My biggest hope is that the economy in Oakland swings up a bit. We’re hoping to make a couple of good announcements on new projects in Oakland and eventually we’ll be able to cover that. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>It seems like all of this has been something of a double whammy. You’ve got the Occupy protesters which scared off some business….\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, we had this perfect storm. I think it would have been hard to pass Measure I anyway. But we thought we had to try to give Oaklanders a chance to try to step up. It would have been a quarter a day. Otherwise what we have now is an all-cuts budget. We have the potential loss of a couple of businesses downtown. And a lot of small businesses are really hurting. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And you have the cost of Occupy Oakland, which will probably be several million dollars. Luckily for the first time in many years we have a full reserve and it will mean other things won’t get done in the city unfortunately\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Where do you see the opportunity for Oakland to bounce back and keep growing? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland is in the center of the Bay Area and we’re an amazing city. Downtown Oakland is one of the most exciting places in the Bay Area. Just six months ago the New York Times said we have some of the best restaurants in the Bay area. We have a thriving art scene. If you come down on First Friday, you’ll see thousands of people visiting our art galleries and enjoying music and nightclubs downtown. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland was one of the few cities predicted by the Association of Bay Area Governments to continue to grow in jobs and housing over the next decade. I think that’s going to happen. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately there’s a national stereotype about Oakland. But it’s one of the most diverse, exciting cities in the country. We’re going to come back. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you have any concerns as to Occupy protesters either at Snow Park or a retrenching at Frank Ogawa?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was very heartened the night we cleared the park that the protesters were very peaceful, that they talked about getting on with the work of the 99%. I’ve been following all the tweets in the different groups; they’re going to start organizing around the school closures in Oakland. I understand there’s going to be some picketing of banks this weekend. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Snow Park people have till Monday; they have a group of people that have been working really hard to find an alternative place. I hear one of the local churches may be willing to work with them. I think we move on, and it could be a model for the rest of the country. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think the movement’s gotten diverted on the encampments and across the country they haven’t really been able to contain the crime or the large homeless population and it becomes a whole sap on the resources instead of moving on with the organizing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Oakland, our winter shelter opened yesterday so we’re hoping that a large number of the homeless that were staying in Frank Ogawa Plaza will be sheltered there for the rest of the winter. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\nHave you notified Snow Park that Monday is the day to go?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They made a deal with the police chief. All last week we tried to get people to leave. I myself talked to nine or ten of the tents that were in Frank Ogawa Plaza. The police chief gave them a week to find a permanent home. We expect them to be gone by next Monday.\u003c/p>\n\n",

To which All Things Considered correspondent Martin Kaste said, almost incredulously, “but you’re the mayor!” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is Joshua Johnson’s interview.

Even the San Francisco tax measures went down. In Oakland we’ve been a little distracted so the people who normally would have been out there campaigning for this didn’t have much time to work for it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it means we will not be able to restore some of the services we cut. At the beginning of the year I put out several options, including an all-cuts budget. Luckily the employees of the city gave back 10 %., undertaking for the first time major pension reform relief in the city. Even the police are now paying into their pension. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We could have restored some of the cuts, some full-time senior programs, some road and tree people, some park maintenance people, to add and upgrade our technology at the libraries, which needs constant funding to keep the internet and other services going. And probably most importantly for Oaklanders, it was going to allow us the extra money for police recruitment and training. The baby boomers are retiring and the replacement of police officers are probably the most expensive cost. It costs us about 100k to train and recruit new police officers. With boomers retiring at a higher rate, we really don’t necessarily have enough money right now to keep up with that. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My biggest hope is that the economy in Oakland swings up a bit. We’re hoping to make a couple of good announcements on new projects in Oakland and eventually we’ll be able to cover that. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>It seems like all of this has been something of a double whammy. You’ve got the Occupy protesters which scared off some business….\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, we had this perfect storm. I think it would have been hard to pass Measure I anyway. But we thought we had to try to give Oaklanders a chance to try to step up. It would have been a quarter a day. Otherwise what we have now is an all-cuts budget. We have the potential loss of a couple of businesses downtown. And a lot of small businesses are really hurting. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And you have the cost of Occupy Oakland, which will probably be several million dollars. Luckily for the first time in many years we have a full reserve and it will mean other things won’t get done in the city unfortunately\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Where do you see the opportunity for Oakland to bounce back and keep growing? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland is in the center of the Bay Area and we’re an amazing city. Downtown Oakland is one of the most exciting places in the Bay Area. Just six months ago the New York Times said we have some of the best restaurants in the Bay area. We have a thriving art scene. If you come down on First Friday, you’ll see thousands of people visiting our art galleries and enjoying music and nightclubs downtown. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland was one of the few cities predicted by the Association of Bay Area Governments to continue to grow in jobs and housing over the next decade. I think that’s going to happen. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately there’s a national stereotype about Oakland. But it’s one of the most diverse, exciting cities in the country. We’re going to come back. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you have any concerns as to Occupy protesters either at Snow Park or a retrenching at Frank Ogawa?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was very heartened the night we cleared the park that the protesters were very peaceful, that they talked about getting on with the work of the 99%. I’ve been following all the tweets in the different groups; they’re going to start organizing around the school closures in Oakland. I understand there’s going to be some picketing of banks this weekend. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Snow Park people have till Monday; they have a group of people that have been working really hard to find an alternative place. I hear one of the local churches may be willing to work with them. I think we move on, and it could be a model for the rest of the country. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think the movement’s gotten diverted on the encampments and across the country they haven’t really been able to contain the crime or the large homeless population and it becomes a whole sap on the resources instead of moving on with the organizing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Oakland, our winter shelter opened yesterday so we’re hoping that a large number of the homeless that were staying in Frank Ogawa Plaza will be sheltered there for the rest of the winter. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\nHave you notified Snow Park that Monday is the day to go?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

When I grew up, on one hand it was BB King and Miles Davis and John Lee Hooker. On the other hand it was Dolores Huerta, Cesar Chavez, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Gandhi, so I just thought both of those dimensions were one. To learn music to heal yourself, your family, and this planet. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because this planet is sick with fear. We invest so much time and energy and money into the Pentagon, which is the place for fear. We made a difference with Vietnam, we were part of the Black Panthers, we were part of the hippie movement, questioning authority if it’s not enlightened by God. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And we’re still here, the people from Woodstock. We’re still here to ignite the youngest to say don’t be complacent and don’t be ho hum. Without brutality or being vulgar, make a difference. Go out and stop the war. War is not the answer.

My alma mater was the Fillmore. Hanging around with Bill Graham and all the other musicians. What I did learn from here was the principle of caring. Teachers had a lot of passion and were really present with the students. They looked you in the eye and everything else stopped, you mattered. That’s what I take from Mission High School, those teachers who taught me to be 150%, not 50 or 100. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You’ve given guitars to school, have been very generous. What did you hope to change here? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fear, brutality, genocide, suicide. Music is harmony and unity. When a person’s not in harmony with themselves, then they do harmful things. If we can change Mission High School, then we can work on Richmond and Oakland and the other schools. If we can integrate spiritual values, without using the word religion, then you would not see so much violence from police to brown people here in San Francisco. Because I’m very aware of the brutality that happens between the police and the people. Trigger happy. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The more you educate people, the more they have a sense of self worth, of value, the more they value other people’s rights, and the more they embrace and feel oneness with their heart and with their light. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do these kids remind you of yourself?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Absolutely. They’re the architects of tomorrow. It’ll change America to be what it’s supposed to be. America is a social experiment. Right now, we have a spiritual deprivation. We’re pretty good at arrogance. We’re number one at nothing. I don’t say it when I’m in another country but when I come home I can say it because it’s my house. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We need in schools not necessarily Buddha, Krishna, but we need spiritual values.

Said Keith Shannon, who deployed with Scott to Iraq, “Scott was marching with the 99% because he felt corporations and banks had too much control over our government, and that they weren’t being held accountable for their role in the economic downturn, which caused so many people to lose their jobs and their homes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott is currently sedated at a local hospital awaiting examination by a neurosurgeon.

(Note: The interview was conducted before Howard Jordan was named interim chief.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s next for the Oakland Police Department?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think everybody is in shock. Batts in his announcement put a number of \u003ca href=\"http://oaklandlocal.com/article/oakland-police-chief-resignation-leaves-public-safety-projects-tailspin\">public safety projects into a tailspin\u003c/a>. And there’s no clear indication of who might be next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of projects could be seriously affected. The first one is that the city is holding a big public safety summit, expecting about 800 residents to attend. Batts was spearheading this; he used his bully pulpit to ask people to participate. It’s unclear if he’ll still be a part of it at this point. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second thing affected is the city’s upcoming mail-in ballot election. Measure I is asking for an $80 parcel tax. Residents have been hesitant on this so far, even with some money going for public safety initiatives that Batts was working on. Now with the chief saying he’s not going to be around, it’s unclear whether property owners will get behind the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the biggest things is this \u003ca href=\"http://www.oaklandcityattorney.org/notable/Riders.html\">negotiated settlement in the Riders case\u003c/a> that a federal judge is asking the city to come into compliance with. The federal courts have asked the OPD to institute a number of compliance measures on civil rights after the feds busted police for violating the civil rights of some residents in the scandal of some years ago. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since that time the city has struggled to come into full compliance, and right now there are 12 issues outstanding that the city needs to address to fully satisfy the judge, who is threatening a federal takeover.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are these problems that any Oakland police chief would face?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the problems that Batts faced will continue to snag any incoming chief because of how the city of Oakland is organized. The chief has to report to a lot of heads. I can see some of that being fixed but, I imagine that’s going to continue to be a daunting issue. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the biggest issue is the limited resources available — the department being understaffed. Batts came in with this grand plan for fundamental change, but in the summer of 2010, the city, under severe financial constraints, began asking officers to contribute to their pension. The union and the city went back and forth, and as a result, 80 officers were laid off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s really when the Batts administration took a turn. He announced that the city could no longer respond to 44 non-violent crimes. And then there were some police shootings and the Oscar Grant demonstrations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then to the surprise of everyone, he was a candidate to be San Jose police chief. Since then, for the most part city hall watchers have been keeping a wary eye on the chief, expecting him to jump any moment. But it still took a lot of folks by surprise. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When is Batts leaving?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We really don’t’ have a specific date. I think there’s going to be some negotiation around his salary. The contract is actually pretty open; it doesn’t penalize him if he leaves early. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor Quan has reached outside of city hall for some of her key appointments, including the new city administrator, who comes from San Jose. So there could be someone from inside, but at this point, we’ll have to see what Quan is going to do. This has been a pretty big blow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is the process for choosing a new chief?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chief is appointed by the mayor, and the city council would approve the contract. It’s a pretty straightforward process. Former Mayor Dellums, who appointed Batts, conducted a nationwide search. I’m pretty sure Mayor Quan will follow that route in selecting a new chief. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Anything else?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some city council members were taken aback; they said they got an email just like everybody else. I think there were a number of councilmembers who would have liked to have been informed ahead of time. Larry Reid, the council president, was informed beforehand. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What does that say about the relationship between Batts and the city council?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think the relationship has had its tensions. Batts has been seen as a supporter of both gang injunctions and juvenile curfews, two very divisive issues. The city council is locked in an internal struggle on both of those. I think that was a little discouraging for Batts, and I think that affected his decision. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you think his leaving will affect how the council decides on those issues?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don’t think so. At this point people have pretty firm positions. Both of those items are under review and each side is calling for studies to show exactly how effective they are. Until those studies are completed, I think people will stay with their positions.\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of projects could be seriously affected. The first one is that the city is holding a big public safety summit, expecting about 800 residents to attend. Batts was spearheading this; he used his bully pulpit to ask people to participate. It’s unclear if he’ll still be a part of it at this point. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second thing affected is the city’s upcoming mail-in ballot election. Measure I is asking for an $80 parcel tax. Residents have been hesitant on this so far, even with some money going for public safety initiatives that Batts was working on. Now with the chief saying he’s not going to be around, it’s unclear whether property owners will get behind the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the biggest things is this \u003ca href=\"http://www.oaklandcityattorney.org/notable/Riders.html\">negotiated settlement in the Riders case\u003c/a> that a federal judge is asking the city to come into compliance with. The federal courts have asked the OPD to institute a number of compliance measures on civil rights after the feds busted police for violating the civil rights of some residents in the scandal of some years ago. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since that time the city has struggled to come into full compliance, and right now there are 12 issues outstanding that the city needs to address to fully satisfy the judge, who is threatening a federal takeover.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are these problems that any Oakland police chief would face?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the problems that Batts faced will continue to snag any incoming chief because of how the city of Oakland is organized. The chief has to report to a lot of heads. I can see some of that being fixed but, I imagine that’s going to continue to be a daunting issue. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the biggest issue is the limited resources available — the department being understaffed. Batts came in with this grand plan for fundamental change, but in the summer of 2010, the city, under severe financial constraints, began asking officers to contribute to their pension. The union and the city went back and forth, and as a result, 80 officers were laid off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s really when the Batts administration took a turn. He announced that the city could no longer respond to 44 non-violent crimes. And then there were some police shootings and the Oscar Grant demonstrations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then to the surprise of everyone, he was a candidate to be San Jose police chief. Since then, for the most part city hall watchers have been keeping a wary eye on the chief, expecting him to jump any moment. But it still took a lot of folks by surprise. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When is Batts leaving?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We really don’t’ have a specific date. I think there’s going to be some negotiation around his salary. The contract is actually pretty open; it doesn’t penalize him if he leaves early. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor Quan has reached outside of city hall for some of her key appointments, including the new city administrator, who comes from San Jose. So there could be someone from inside, but at this point, we’ll have to see what Quan is going to do. This has been a pretty big blow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is the process for choosing a new chief?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chief is appointed by the mayor, and the city council would approve the contract. It’s a pretty straightforward process. Former Mayor Dellums, who appointed Batts, conducted a nationwide search. I’m pretty sure Mayor Quan will follow that route in selecting a new chief. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Anything else?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some city council members were taken aback; they said they got an email just like everybody else. I think there were a number of councilmembers who would have liked to have been informed ahead of time. Larry Reid, the council president, was informed beforehand. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What does that say about the relationship between Batts and the city council?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think the relationship has had its tensions. Batts has been seen as a supporter of both gang injunctions and juvenile curfews, two very divisive issues. The city council is locked in an internal struggle on both of those. I think that was a little discouraging for Batts, and I think that affected his decision. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you think his leaving will affect how the council decides on those issues?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don’t think so. At this point people have pretty firm positions. Both of those items are under review and each side is calling for studies to show exactly how effective they are. Until those studies are completed, I think people will stay with their positions.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

(AP) — Al Davis, the renegade owner of the Oakland Raiders who bucked NFL authority while exhorting his silver-and-black team to “Just win, baby!,” died Saturday. He was 82.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Hall of Famer died at his home in Oakland, the team said. The cause of death was not immediately disclosed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis was one of the most important figures in NFL history — a rebel with a subpoena. That was most evident during the 1980s when he went to court — and won — for the right to move his team from Oakland to Los Angeles. Even after he moved the Raiders back to the Bay Area in 1995, he sued for $1.2 billion to establish that he still owned the rights to the L.A. market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was Davis’ willingness to take on the establishment that helped turn the NFL into money-making giant that it is — the most successful sports league in American history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Al Davis’s passion for football and his influence on the game were extraordinary,” commissioner Roger Goodell said. “He defined the Raiders and contributed to pro football at every level. The respect he commanded was evident in the way that people listened carefully every time he spoke. He is a true legend of the game whose impact and legacy will forever be part of the NFL.” \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Davis was hardly an NFL company man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not in the way he dressed — usually satin running suits, one white, one black, and the occasional black suit, black shirt and silver tie. Not in the way he wore his hair — slicked back with a ’50s duck-tail. Not in the way he talked — Brooklynese with Southern inflection. Not in the way he does business — on his own terms, always on his own terms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elected in 1992 to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Davis was a trailblazer. He hired the first black head coach of the modern era — Art Shell in 1988. He hired the first Latino coach, Tom Flores; and the first woman CEO, Amy Trask. And he was infallibly loyal to his players and officials: to be a Raider was to be a Raider for life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coach Hue Jackson told the team of Davis’ death at a meeting in Houston on Saturday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis was charming, cantankerous and compassionate — a man who when his wife suffered a serious heart attack in the 1970s moved into her hospital room. But he was best known as a rebel, a man who established a team whose silver-and-black colors and pirate logo symbolized his attitude toward authority, both on the field and off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until the decline of the Raiders into a perennial loser in the first decade of the 21st century he was a winner, the man who as a coach, then owner-general manager-de facto coach, established what he called “the team of the decades” based on another slogan: “commitment to excellence.” And the Raiders were excellent, winning three Super Bowls during the 1970s and 1980s and contending almost every other season — an organization filled with castoffs and troublemakers who turned into trouble for opponents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Al was a football man — his entire life revolved around the game he loved,” said Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams, an original AFL owner of the Houston Oilers. “He worked his way up through the ranks and had a knowledge of all phases of the game. That experience aided him as an owner. He was quite different from every other owner in that way. As an AFL guy, he was in that group of people who pushed our league forward. I didn’t get to see him over the last few years and I know many, including myself, will miss him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Born in Brockton, Mass., Davis grew up in Brooklyn and graduated from Erasmus Hall High School, a spawning ground in the two decades after World War II for a number of ambitious young people who became renowned in sports, business and entertainment. Davis was perhaps the second most famous after Barbra Streisand.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had a reunion in Los Angeles and 500 people showed up, including Bah-bruh,” he once told an interviewer in that combination of southern drawl/Brooklynese that was often parodied among his acquaintances within the league and without.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A graduate of Syracuse University, he became an assistant coach with the Baltimore Colts at age 24; and was an assistant at The Citadel and then Southern California before joining the Los Angeles Chargers of the new AFL in 1960. Only three years later, he was hired by the Raiders and became the youngest general manager-head coach in pro football history with a team he called “the Raid-uhs” in 1963.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">He was a good one, 23-16-3 in three seasons with a franchise that had started its life 9-23.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Then he bought into the failing franchise, which played on a high school field adjacent to the Nimitz Freeway in Oakland and became managing general partner, a position he held until his death.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">But as the many bright young coaches he hired — from John Madden, Mike Shanahan and Jon Gruden to Lane Kiffin — found out, he remained the coach. He ran everything from the sidelines, often calling down with plays, or sending emissaries to the sidelines to make substitutions.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">In 1966, he became commissioner of the AFL.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">But even before that, he had begun to break an unwritten truce between the young league and its established rivals, which fought over draft choices but did not go after established players.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Although the NFL’s New York Giants’ signing of Buffalo placekicker Pete Gogolak marked the first break in that rule, it was Davis who began to go after NFL stars — pursuing quarterbacks John Brodie and Roman Gabriel as he tried to establish AFL supremacy.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Davis’ war precipitated first talks of merger, although Davis opposed it. But led by Lamar Hunt of Kansas City, the AFL owners agreed that peace was best. A common draft was established, and the first Super Bowl was played following the 1966 season — Green Bay beat Kansas City, then went on to beat Davis’ Raiders the next season. By 1970, the leagues were fully merged and the league had the basic structure it retains until this day — with the NFL’s Pete Rozelle as commissioner, not Davis, who wanted the job badly.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">So he went back to the Raiders, running a team that won Super Bowls after the 1976, 1980 and 1983 seasons — the last one in Los Angeles, where the franchise moved in 1982 after protracted court fights. It was a battling bunch, filled with players such as John Matuszak, Mike Haynes and Lyle Alzado, stars who didn’t fill in elsewhere who combined with homegrown stars — Ken Stabler, another rebellious spirit; Gene Upshaw; Shell, Jack Tatum, Willie Brown and dozens of others.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">After lengthy lawsuits involving the move to Los Angeles, he went back to Oakland and at one point in the early years of the century was involved in suits in northern and southern California — the one seeking the Los Angeles rights and another suing Oakland for failing to deliver sellouts they promised to get the Raiders back.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">“Personally, I was fond of him,” Bengals owner and president Mike Brown said. “He battled with the NFL, and a lot of us wished that had not been where things went, but under all that was a person I respected. It saddens me to hear that he is gone.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Davis aged, his teams declined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">The Raiders got to the Super Bowl after the 2002 season, losing to Tampa Bay. But for a long period after that, they had the worst record in the NFL, at one point with five coaches in six years.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">It is fitting that this year’s Raiders team is built in typical Raiders fashion with a bevy of speedsters on offense capable of delivering the deep-strike play Davis has always coveted, a physically imposing defensive line that can pressure the quarterback and an accomplished man coverage cornerback in Stanford Routt.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Once a constant presence at practice, training camp and in the locker room, Davis was rarely seen in public beyond the bizarre spectacles to fire and hire coaches where he spent more time disparaging his former coach than praising his new one.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">He did not appear at a single training camp practice this summer and missed a game in Buffalo last month, believed to be only the third game he missed in 49 seasons with the franchise. Davis did attend Oakland’s home game last week against New England.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Although he was no longer as public a figure, he was still integrally involved in the team from the draft to negotiating contracts to discussing strategy with his coaches. Jackson has said Davis was unlike any other owner he had worked for in his ability to understand the ins and outs of the game.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">“I’ve never had the opportunity to sit and talk football, the X’s and O’s and what it takes to win in this league consistently on a consistent basis, and there’s nothing like working for coach Davis,” Jackson said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">While other owners and league executives branded Davis a renegade, friends and former players find him the epitome of loyalty.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">When his wife, Carol, had a serious heart attack, he moved into her hospital room and lived there for more than a month. And when he hears that even a distant acquaintance is ill, he’ll offer medical help without worrying about expense.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Disease is the one thing — boy I tell you, it’s tough to lick,” he said in 2008, talking about the leg ailments that had restricted him to using a walker. “It’s tough to lick those diseases. I don’t know why they can’t.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few years earlier, he said: “I can control most things, but I don’t seem to be able to control death.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis is survived by Carol and their son Mark, who Davis has said would run the team after his death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"columns\">\u003cem>Columnists\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/raiders/ci_19070932\">Al Davis was all about winning\u003c/a> (Mark Purdy, SJ Mercury News)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/raiders/ci_19070916\">Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis, a man for all seasons\u003c/a> (Cam Inman, Bay Area News Group)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/raiders/ci_19070911\">Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis, life to the fullest\u003c/a> (Tin Kawakami, SJ Mercury News)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/raiders/ci_19070900\">Gary Peterson: Al Davis did it his way\u003c/a> (Gay Peterson, Bay Area News Group)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/raiders/ci_19071056\">Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis had loyal friends, sworn enemies\u003c/a> (Monte Poole, Bay Area News Group)\n\u003c/li>\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/ann_killion/10/08/al.davis/index.html?eref=sihp&sct=hp_t11_a5\">Davis’ death robs NFL of an iconic, one-of-a-kind presence\u003c/a> (Ann Killion, Sports Illustrated)\n\u003c/li>\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/peter_king/10/08/al.davis/index.html?eref=sihp&sct=hp_t11_a2\">Davis impacted football history, and did it on his own terms\u003c/a> (Peter King, Sports Illustrated)\n\u003c/li>\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AlM2cTcENXkTTymgQSAzl8w5nYcB?slug=jc-cole_al_davis_respect_100811\">Brash, combative Davis made his mark on the game\u003c/a> (Jason Cole, Yahoo!

(AP) — Al Davis, the renegade owner of the Oakland Raiders who bucked NFL authority while exhorting his silver-and-black team to “Just win, baby!,” died Saturday. He was 82.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Hall of Famer died at his home in Oakland, the team said. The cause of death was not immediately disclosed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis was one of the most important figures in NFL history — a rebel with a subpoena. That was most evident during the 1980s when he went to court — and won — for the right to move his team from Oakland to Los Angeles. Even after he moved the Raiders back to the Bay Area in 1995, he sued for $1.2 billion to establish that he still owned the rights to the L.A. market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was Davis’ willingness to take on the establishment that helped turn the NFL into money-making giant that it is — the most successful sports league in American history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Al Davis’s passion for football and his influence on the game were extraordinary,” commissioner Roger Goodell said. “He defined the Raiders and contributed to pro football at every level. The respect he commanded was evident in the way that people listened carefully every time he spoke. He is a true legend of the game whose impact and legacy will forever be part of the NFL.” \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Davis was hardly an NFL company man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not in the way he dressed — usually satin running suits, one white, one black, and the occasional black suit, black shirt and silver tie. Not in the way he wore his hair — slicked back with a ’50s duck-tail. Not in the way he talked — Brooklynese with Southern inflection. Not in the way he does business — on his own terms, always on his own terms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elected in 1992 to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Davis was a trailblazer. He hired the first black head coach of the modern era — Art Shell in 1988. He hired the first Latino coach, Tom Flores; and the first woman CEO, Amy Trask. And he was infallibly loyal to his players and officials: to be a Raider was to be a Raider for life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coach Hue Jackson told the team of Davis’ death at a meeting in Houston on Saturday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis was charming, cantankerous and compassionate — a man who when his wife suffered a serious heart attack in the 1970s moved into her hospital room. But he was best known as a rebel, a man who established a team whose silver-and-black colors and pirate logo symbolized his attitude toward authority, both on the field and off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until the decline of the Raiders into a perennial loser in the first decade of the 21st century he was a winner, the man who as a coach, then owner-general manager-de facto coach, established what he called “the team of the decades” based on another slogan: “commitment to excellence.” And the Raiders were excellent, winning three Super Bowls during the 1970s and 1980s and contending almost every other season — an organization filled with castoffs and troublemakers who turned into trouble for opponents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Al was a football man — his entire life revolved around the game he loved,” said Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams, an original AFL owner of the Houston Oilers. “He worked his way up through the ranks and had a knowledge of all phases of the game. That experience aided him as an owner. He was quite different from every other owner in that way. As an AFL guy, he was in that group of people who pushed our league forward. I didn’t get to see him over the last few years and I know many, including myself, will miss him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Born in Brockton, Mass., Davis grew up in Brooklyn and graduated from Erasmus Hall High School, a spawning ground in the two decades after World War II for a number of ambitious young people who became renowned in sports, business and entertainment. Davis was perhaps the second most famous after Barbra Streisand.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had a reunion in Los Angeles and 500 people showed up, including Bah-bruh,” he once told an interviewer in that combination of southern drawl/Brooklynese that was often parodied among his acquaintances within the league and without.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A graduate of Syracuse University, he became an assistant coach with the Baltimore Colts at age 24; and was an assistant at The Citadel and then Southern California before joining the Los Angeles Chargers of the new AFL in 1960. Only three years later, he was hired by the Raiders and became the youngest general manager-head coach in pro football history with a team he called “the Raid-uhs” in 1963.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">He was a good one, 23-16-3 in three seasons with a franchise that had started its life 9-23.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Then he bought into the failing franchise, which played on a high school field adjacent to the Nimitz Freeway in Oakland and became managing general partner, a position he held until his death.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">But as the many bright young coaches he hired — from John Madden, Mike Shanahan and Jon Gruden to Lane Kiffin — found out, he remained the coach. He ran everything from the sidelines, often calling down with plays, or sending emissaries to the sidelines to make substitutions.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">In 1966, he became commissioner of the AFL.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">But even before that, he had begun to break an unwritten truce between the young league and its established rivals, which fought over draft choices but did not go after established players.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Although the NFL’s New York Giants’ signing of Buffalo placekicker Pete Gogolak marked the first break in that rule, it was Davis who began to go after NFL stars — pursuing quarterbacks John Brodie and Roman Gabriel as he tried to establish AFL supremacy.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Davis’ war precipitated first talks of merger, although Davis opposed it. But led by Lamar Hunt of Kansas City, the AFL owners agreed that peace was best. A common draft was established, and the first Super Bowl was played following the 1966 season — Green Bay beat Kansas City, then went on to beat Davis’ Raiders the next season. By 1970, the leagues were fully merged and the league had the basic structure it retains until this day — with the NFL’s Pete Rozelle as commissioner, not Davis, who wanted the job badly.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">So he went back to the Raiders, running a team that won Super Bowls after the 1976, 1980 and 1983 seasons — the last one in Los Angeles, where the franchise moved in 1982 after protracted court fights. It was a battling bunch, filled with players such as John Matuszak, Mike Haynes and Lyle Alzado, stars who didn’t fill in elsewhere who combined with homegrown stars — Ken Stabler, another rebellious spirit; Gene Upshaw; Shell, Jack Tatum, Willie Brown and dozens of others.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">After lengthy lawsuits involving the move to Los Angeles, he went back to Oakland and at one point in the early years of the century was involved in suits in northern and southern California — the one seeking the Los Angeles rights and another suing Oakland for failing to deliver sellouts they promised to get the Raiders back.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">“Personally, I was fond of him,” Bengals owner and president Mike Brown said. “He battled with the NFL, and a lot of us wished that had not been where things went, but under all that was a person I respected. It saddens me to hear that he is gone.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Davis aged, his teams declined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">The Raiders got to the Super Bowl after the 2002 season, losing to Tampa Bay. But for a long period after that, they had the worst record in the NFL, at one point with five coaches in six years.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">It is fitting that this year’s Raiders team is built in typical Raiders fashion with a bevy of speedsters on offense capable of delivering the deep-strike play Davis has always coveted, a physically imposing defensive line that can pressure the quarterback and an accomplished man coverage cornerback in Stanford Routt.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Once a constant presence at practice, training camp and in the locker room, Davis was rarely seen in public beyond the bizarre spectacles to fire and hire coaches where he spent more time disparaging his former coach than praising his new one.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">He did not appear at a single training camp practice this summer and missed a game in Buffalo last month, believed to be only the third game he missed in 49 seasons with the franchise. Davis did attend Oakland’s home game last week against New England.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Although he was no longer as public a figure, he was still integrally involved in the team from the draft to negotiating contracts to discussing strategy with his coaches. Jackson has said Davis was unlike any other owner he had worked for in his ability to understand the ins and outs of the game.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">“I’ve never had the opportunity to sit and talk football, the X’s and O’s and what it takes to win in this league consistently on a consistent basis, and there’s nothing like working for coach Davis,” Jackson said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">While other owners and league executives branded Davis a renegade, friends and former players find him the epitome of loyalty.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">When his wife, Carol, had a serious heart attack, he moved into her hospital room and lived there for more than a month. And when he hears that even a distant acquaintance is ill, he’ll offer medical help without worrying about expense.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Disease is the one thing — boy I tell you, it’s tough to lick,” he said in 2008, talking about the leg ailments that had restricted him to using a walker. “It’s tough to lick those diseases. I don’t know why they can’t.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few years earlier, he said: “I can control most things, but I don’t seem to be able to control death.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis is survived by Carol and their son Mark, who Davis has said would run the team after his death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
