First NFL Coach of 2008 fired! ...

[Paul Wozniak]

Isn't Oakland on a bye-week? What the hell was he waiting for?

I am hearing Davis is going to stiff Kiffen on the money for the rest of the contract and thats why it took a while to fire him because he was going over to get ready to stiff him. What a classy guy!

The Raiders said the move was made for cause, meaning they will likely try not to pay Kiffin for the remainder of his contract. He signed a two-year deal worth about $4 million with a team option for 2009 when he took over last year. Kiffin's agent Gary Uberstine had no immediate comment.

..and with that said, I will officially change my prediction fom 6 to 7 possible wins to 3. This is the kind of things that just makes you wanna pick another team. How the f**k do you expect for a team to improve when you an owner that just refuses to let a coach coach. IF AL DAVIS is THAT smart a football man, why not wheelchair his criptic ass from the morgue he calls the owners suite and coach??!! As long as this f**king corpse owns the team, the Raiders will NEVER win more than 5 games again. And as for that c***suck** Rob Ryan who underminded Kiffin thinking that by swallowing for Davis would get him the headcoaching job, he gets whatever he deserves!!!

Such language. Good thing your not angry over this.

Will I guess nobody can fire All Davis he does a good job of that on his own.

Watching the press conference, I gotta say either Al or Lane can sure spin a story. Whos telling the truth?

I was just about to post the same thing. I've always blamed Davis, but after watching that, either Kiffin deserves at least some of the blame or Old Man Al deserves an Academy Award.


BTW,
I haven't seen Davis speak in years, and he was a lot more lucid than I would have given him credit for.

Thank goodness this decision was made.

Now salsa can get on with the rest of his life.

The funny thing is...I actually wrote an email to the organization because of all that's been going on. It started out really well....until I mentioned that piece of sh** Ryan....then all the expletives starting coming out. Like now.... I think Rob "Get-your-head-outta-Davis' a$$" Ryan has just surpassed my hatred for Dusty Baker...

....we have a new undispputed heavyweight champeen....!

 

[SabresRule]

Don't worry, Salsa.

you still have The U, the Heat, and the Marlins.

At least they know what direction they're going in.

BTW, I have an idea- why not change avatars as a 'protest?'

Bill did it in the summer.

Ive been a Kiffen sympathiser, but damn, wheres the fricken offense. Rob Ryans defense has been on fire. I know they fall apart in the 4th quarter, but at least they show up for part of the game. As a Raider fan i cant say im as disappointed as i thought i would be to hear this news. My brother on the other hand is an emotional mess, lol.

Al did it to Shanahan, and he's held a grudge (and a winning record vs. the Raiders) ever since.....

Well....you gotta remember...the Raiders have ABSOLUTELY no playmakers at the WR position....NONE. IF you go back to the last 4 drafts, IF Al Davis would have been worm food....the Raiders could have drafted Calvin Johnson from Georgia Tech....Larry Fitsgerald from Pittsburgh and Matt Lienart throwing to them. They STILL would have had Michael Bush and they would have had no issues drafting offensive linemen in rounds 2 through 4. But NNNNOOOOOOOO.....

..."shoulda, woulda, coulda....and if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle!!!!"

I would change it, but though the players don't know me from the average hotdog vender out on the street, I will still support the players and the coaches....

...except the Douche Nozzle Rob Ryan!


"end the Rob Ryan ABORTION NOW!!!"

ouch!!! i hadn't seen al davis in a long time. i was truly shocked how destroyed he is. at times he was lucid but others he was way out there. gone!!! It's a shame to see a genius like him just wither away. It's time for change at the top. he did say he would hire for next year someone to handle personnel. they need someone to take some of these things off of al's hands.

Al Davis looked horrible. His press conference made me want to puke. I can't believe he tells all the lies about the coach. Kiffin had the class not to retaliate when he had the prime opportunity. Even the ESPN announcers said he was distraught and couldn't talk about it.

And people wonder why Al Davis has trouble finding an experienced head coach that wants to work for him. The good ones (like Chuckie Gruden) leave as soon as they can.

Matt Lienart NO THANKS! Everyone else on the list is fine!

Well...gotta remember...he has not played well because he has been injured. But the Raiders also passed on the guy who torched in against the Broncos too....there were PLENTY of QB choices that year.
