PING!!

Lane did a good job with a bad team and handled himself pretty well.

I think he should find another gig easily.

Al Davis: The coach must go down, and he must go down hard, allow me to introduce you to the new coach of the Oakland Raiders, Barney Frank.

Just like with Shanahan, Davis claims he fired Kiffin for cause and will not pay him for the remainder of his contract.

We have one of the best 45-minute teams in the league this season with the Raiders. It’s a pity games last for 60 minutes. ;-)

Until Al Davis fires himself it won’t matter. As long as Al is at the helm the Raiders will be a joke.

The little old lady in a jumpsuit is a basketcase.

Oakland will be joke until she is replaced.

Davis: Kiffin a 'flat-out liar'

David White,Nancy Gay, Chronicle Staff Writers
Tuesday, September 30, 2008

Alameda -- Raiders owner Al Davis said Tuesday afternoon that he fired head coach Lane Kiffin on Tuesday morning because Kiffin is a "flat-out liar" who had undermined the team with his media dealings. "It was after a short period of time that I realized I didn't hire the person I thought I was hiring," Davis said.

Davis fired Kiffin "with cause," meaning he doesn't intend to pay Kiffin the rest of his contract. In an hourlong news conference in Alameda, Davis said that contrary to what Kiffin has said, the Raiders owner has spoken with his coach this season. And he said he gave Kiffin a letter on Sept. 12 detailing how Kiffin's conduct amounted to transgressions that could lead to a firing with cause.

Kiffin had roughly $3.5 million left on his contract, which runs through the 2009-2010 season.

Davis fired Kiffin two days after the Raiders lost to the visiting Chargers 28-18, blowing a two-score lead in the fourth quarter for the second straight week.

Kiffin will be replaced, on an interim basis, by offensive line coach Tom Cable. . . .

[IMTOFT]

You see the picture of Al at the press conference? Holy $%^#, does he look like death warmed over or what? Reminds me of Keith Richards...

[tnlibertarian]

Does he want a college job? Hopefully one will be opening up around Knoxville in the next couple of months.
