Davis to Kiffin: just resign, baby

Davis is what is wrong with Oakland. How can you give a coach 1 year. How can you blame Moss' new found success on Kiffin?

The only time I don't like the Raiders is when they are playing an away game. Because then we are stuck watching their game instead of a real NFL game.

This from Randy Moss at media day yesterday:

"I really thought something special could happen in Oakland," Moss said. "Things started getting in the way, with coaching and play-calling and players and stuff like that. The team concept was sort of screwed up in Oakland ..."

What the Raiders need is some stability and cohesiveness. Not sure Kiffin is the man to do that, but it seemed as if some strides were made last year.

the raiders is where all the football player that have felony's end up at anyway, leave him alone.
he has his hand's full of misfits.
if anything they should be called the challengers!!

I am most tired with the quotes from "NFL insiders" vs. the official press releases from the Raider organization. All season long, they have been conflicting reports. Like this from today's sfgate regarding Kif: www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/0...

While coaches on Kiffin's staff are expressing concern about their futures in light of Davis' latest power play, Raiders CEO Amy Trask denied that Kiffin has been stripped of his authority over his staff and the roster.

"His authority remains unchanged," Trask said last week when asked if Kiffin had lost any personnel control of the team and whether there was a rift between the owner and coach. "That's simply not true. He has all the authority he had when he was hired. The authority he has or had under his original contract remains unchanged."

So which is it?

and I thought we were bad off with Mike Nolan and the idiot Yorks... Bring back Eddie D!... I used to have respect for Al but hes clearly senile now...

Someone would need to call a voodoo priest to wake Art Shell from his slumber first. Is he sleeping underground or is he sleeping @ Tom Walsh's b&b in Idaho?

Either way, someone would have wake that big dude up and he was barely awake during his first run as coach in the '90s.

I thought Kiff was possibly the answer..maybe the next Chucky...we can't have another retread.

Might as well let Rob Ryan be the coach if Kiff is outta there.

Denny Green would be a good choice, but I'd like to see Art Shell get another shot, this time without Randy Moss and Jerry Porter undermining him

Nah...i'm with you. I'm not sold on kiffin either--he 'seems' a bit conservative for my tastes. But damn, I can only say 'seems' cuz we're not even gonna give him a fair amount of time for him to atleast show what he's about. I WANNA freakin see first!

The raiders are the effing laughingstock of the NFL. I feel like puking. The effing LAUGHINGSTOCKS! Al will never get a "good" coach to hire (and more importantly STAY -- ie: Jon Gruden) cuz Al won't let them make a lot of important decisions that good coaches NEED to make. If you were a half-decent coach, would you wanna be in a situation where the 80 year-old owner tells you who is gonna be playing, who's gonna be drafted, and who your damn assistants are gonna be?

AND DENNIS GREEN!!! Oh my gawd, don't get me started!

I feel like crying right now.

"The crazy-ass owners named Al Davis are who we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

I will help you:

it makes no sense because Al Davis is involved ....

Reminds me of a lawyer friend I have who, as legend tells it, during a round of layoffs at his firm called one of his buddies and spoke this memorable line:

"I am hiding under my desk ... If they can't find me ... they can't fire me!"

Dennis Green?! Wtf has he ever won? We need some stability, and yeah, I believe Davis actually lost it when he pushed Gruden out. That was the beginning of the end.

Watch your step! Al Davis spilled his marbles all over the sidelines.
