Warren2ThaG Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 http://www.sportingnews.com/images/128036/article.jpeg------------Report: Raiders want to fire coach Tom CableYahoo's Jason Cole reports that Raiders owner Al Davis is hoping to fire head coach Tom Cable at season's end. Citing a "source familiar" with ex-assistant Randy Hanson's case against Cable stemming from a training camp fight, Cole says the Raiders are cooperating with the NFL so that Cable can be fired for cause. Davis would then be off the hook for Cable's remaining salary. The league is exploring whether to force Cable into psychological evaluation and counseling for his history of (alleged) physical abuse against Hanson and women. ---http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=jc-directsnap111009&prov=yhoo&type=lgns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 This team is not going to do anything until they get Al Davis out of the front office. That isn't going to happen until he dies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BasX Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Shannan has been there done that, and Holmgren is starter than that. I wouldn't be surprised to see a college coach, but it will be someone out of left field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I wonder if Holgren or Shanahan are interested in the job?I doubt it man, that place is a hell hole right now. Lane Kiffin came out of there and is going to have an elite team in Tenn. soon and his recruiting skills are unthinkable. Someone they should look into getting is someone out of college that just wants to make it big time. Because they have no clue what they are getting themselves into. That team has no quarterback, the run game is led by Justin Fargas and they have no defense. I doubt any coach of this era with a few exceptions would be able to go there and turn that team around, especially with Davis in charge.

Owner Real Deal Posted November 11, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 The Raiders need to bring back Coach Gruden.I second that. And Shanahan will never be associated with Al Davis again. That ran its course and blew up. Gruden would've already sat Russell, and he'd be calling his own plays, no matter what Davis wanted.

Mentch Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I second that. And Shanahan will never be associated with Al Davis again. That ran its course and blew up. Gruden would've already sat Russell, and he'd be calling his own plays, no matter what Davis wanted. That's good advice. But if the Raiders somehow miraculously turn around this season, will he still be fired? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BasX Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Coming from a Steelers fan this may sound bad but I feel sorry for Raider fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog17k Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 The Raiders were pretty decent back in the early 2000s. What happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentch Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 The Raiders were pretty decent back in the early 2000s. What happened? Yep, 3 division titles and a Super Bowl appearance. Since they lost the Super Bowl, and since Gannon suffered a career-ending injury, things have only gone downhill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted November 12, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 The team's football IQ and Al Davis' age are polar opposites, and continue to strongly oppose each other every season. Thing is, I'm starting to think that, because of this accurate observation, Al Davis' birthdays come ten times a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
