Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis has been pushing for Lane Kiffin to resign as his head coach and is considering Dennis Green as a potential replacement, sources close to Kiffin and the team said.

xlolx Faiders

I just saw this on espn.com. I grew up a Raiders fan and still am to some extent but i hate Al Davis. Why would he want Kiffin to resign? I read that Kiffin refuses to sign it, good for him Even though the Raiders won only 4 games they were pretty competitive and showed some progress from last years disaster. Al Davis is by far the worst owner is pro sports. He makes Nolan from the Knicks look a genius. If Kiffin does leave i think it would be poetic justice if no on accepted the job. It is by far the worst job in pro sports.

[spelunker64]

They have Jerry Porter on live now and broke it while he was on hold, so he's stumbling for words...

:D


What a joke Davis is. Kiffen was the first coach to get a divisional win since 02 or 03...

[AggieFinn]

Al Davis needs to get out of the way and let Kiffin work. As a hardcore Raiders fan with a network of even more hardcore Raider fans, we all thought that with Russell in the balance now, and with what will probably be another good drafting class, we can only improve on 2007. The future is bright but to take Kiffin out now would be not only stupid, but irresponsible to the success of Los Malosos.

F#@! Al Davis, get out of the way you old fart!

How 'bout Al Davis and Brian Van Gorder? A potential match made in heaven xeyebrowx

[UNHWildCats]

this is the same guy who turned down a 1st round pick during the 2006 season to send Moss to New England and eventually got I believe a 4th rounder from the Patriots for Moss on draft day lol

Or if Rich Kottite took the job.

Speaking of guys who really, really, really need to retire....!

[CollegeSportsInfo]

I feel like an awful human being. I hate the fact that I actually am hoping for the day that another human being leaves this earth.

[catamount man]

This will now be coach #200 in a 15 year span. Al Davis doesn't give these guys the time they need. No wonder Oakland is the laughing stock of the NFL?!

He has to be the most ungrateful boss to work for. AMAZING!!! xnonono2x

GO CATAMOUNTS!!!

And Van Gorder's held his job for over 24 hours, I think it's time to move elsewhere.

Since Al Davis traded Jon Gruden to Tampa in 2002, there have been four coaches (soon to be a fifth)

Bill Callahan (2002-2003)
Norv Turner (2004-2005)
Art Shell (2006)
Lane Kiffin (2007)
TBD (2008)

Why would Kiffen sign? The Raiders owe him 4 MILLION DOLLARS!!!!

Couldn't have said it better myself!:D

[blackfordpu]

Well, now they are saying those reports were false and Kiffen isn't going anywhere. Just saw it on Sports Center.

[Dane96]

Otherwise demystified as: Someone showed Al Davis where his pill jars were.

hmmmm

It is bizarre, who starts that rumor?

[Marcus Garvey]

It is bizarre, who starts that rumor?

Actually, the weird part is that this story seemed perfectly plausible to sports fans everywhere, myself included. Sad days in Oakland indeed.

Oh it seemed plausible it just seems like a weird rumor to start.

Guy A: I hate Kiffen, and Davis too, what can I say that would normally be ludicrous but makes sense here and shows how stupid Davis is and maybe gets rid of Kiffen too!!! I got it!!!

[spelunker64]

I still think there's something to this story...

[813Jag]

If you want to find out where the rumor started, I'd say you begin looking in Bri$tol, CT. xlolx

There were almost too many details in this story to be fully made-up. Plus the NFL network dued (Schefter...) thinks there's something to it as well.

I agree, but E$PN is notorious for their rumors.

Kiffin got the axe.

Rob Ryan promoted to HC. He is the 6th in the last 8 seasons.

How long will he last? When Al gets rid of Ryan, Gruden may be available. xlolx xlolx

[appfan2008]

why would anyone even accept the job as raiders coach...

davis is a joke and i hop they lose the rest of their games...

kiffin was really starting to turn that ship around... sad to see him go...

[93henfan]

I can see why. It's almost like starting next season at 2-2.

Fixed it for ya!xlolx

So far this is the only place saying that Kiffen got the axe. This article is from the 15th you would think some one else would have reported it if it was true.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

The only hope Raiders fans have is Al Davis will drop dead soon. He has to be the worst owner in pro sports.

[ngineer]

Maybe he wants to go the route of the 'full Monte'...;) :D
