Al Davis Working to Build a Case to Fire Cable -- Even if He Already Has One

Al Davis is a joke and so is this witch hunt. there have been investigations and such, and he still stands as the head coach. Here is an idea, DUE A BACKGROUND CHECK BEFORE HAND, you know, like McDonalds and every single employer in the nation does.

The league is only enabling Al Davis at this point. If Rush can’t own a team (ad I agree) than Davis should be gone also.

By the way, a blog and or story should not have more mistakes and typos than a post of mine on said blog!!

Who cares about the Raiders…until Al Davis is gone they will be irrelevent.

why would you even hire this guy in the first place

When you are the owner of a team I thought you could fire somebody whenever you wanted too.

I thought I heard this build a case to fire a coach headline before? maybe Kiffin

what a revoltin’ development.depressing.

Do a background check? One that shows the future? The Raiders are not trying to fire him over the cowardly way he hit a woman, which was in his past. They are using the assistant coach beating to fire him, which had not happened when he was named the head coach. Should they have done a futureground check? I’m no Raider supporter, but I am friends with a little thing called common sense. No background check is going to show what he is going to do down the road. Anyway, gotta love Davis putting this off so he can find a way to fire another coach without paying him. The coffers must run dry when you pick in the top five every year.

MORE BULL and still no football being played……………..after being a Raider fan since the mid 70s I am very close to pulling the plug because the common denominator regardless of what is goind on with Cable is Al Davis.
What he has done over the last 20 YES 20 years has hurt the francises reputation and standing in the league.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND GETTING RID OF GRUDEN!!!!!!!!!!!! WE WOULD HAVE HAD 4 OR FIVE SUPERBOWLS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

look at this guy, he was only hired so al davis could "coach" the team, nothing but a puppet…good riddance tom cable, go back to the trailer park. who is next al? jim fassel?? commitment to ****tiness continues.

Hey..I’m a Lions fans.  I feel your pain but, trust me, my list is longer than yours!!  Good luck with Al.  I’m not sure either of our franchises will be any better until Ford and Davis are only memories.  Sigh.

The sad thing is, Cable essentially got the job because no one else would touch it, if they felt they had any kind of future as a head coach. Cable would not have been a candidate for an offensive coordinator position elsewhere.

There’s only one guy I see taking this job. He won’t win, but it is as good a fit as you will have until Davis kicks the bucket: Dennis Green.

Al’s just replacing another assistant coach and he won’t pay Cable the balance of his contract.  He does this every year…and will continue to do so until the Commissioner puts a stop to this nonsense.

There is a significant lack of foresight here by Al.  There’s a reason that Cable is the Raiders’ coach—because no one else wanted the job.  So what happens after big Tom is fired and Davis has—for the second time in as many coaches—went through a great deal of trouble NOT to pay the departing play caller?  So this is what the Raiders have to offer to future candidates for the job: a terrible starting quarterback, one of the worst disciplined teams in the NFL, a climate of not only losing, but player indifference, and a meddling owner who is quick to fire his head coach and then does whatever he can NOT to pay him the measure of his contract. So, after Tom Cable, is there anything left to scrape off the bottom of the Raiders’ barrel to run this team?  AL may want to save himself the embarrassment of having to coach his team himself because, he might find a warm body who will wear the headset, but he won’t find a coach who has any chance of making this dumpster fire successful.
