THE OFFICIAL OAKLAND RAIDERS 2009 SEASON THREAD
- Thread starter Meta4iCAL
- Start date
this is on espn insider today:
At one point a few weeks back, it looked like Tom Cable had saved his job with the Oakland Raiders; the team had found some magic with Bruce Gradkowski under center, and everyone seemed to have forgotten about the whole Randy Hanson incident. But according to what people close to Al Davis have told Jerry McDonald of the Oakland Tribune, the Raiders owner and managing partner is "inclined" to fire Cable. If that's the case, a move would likely be made as soon as this week to have a good shot at a top replacement.
Speaking of replacements, there hasn't been too much chatter as to who would take over Cable's spot, but one name was posited by Bill Bradley of the Sacramento Bee over the weekend: recently-deposed Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach. Leach loves a pass-heavy offense, which is right up Davis' dark, intimidating alley.
So, let's get this straight: the Raiders would fire a coach that (allegedly) battered one of his assistant coaches in favor of a coach that (allegedly) ordered a trainer to lock a concussed WR in a dark electrical closet? We'll be interested to see the other names pop up if Cable is let go.
