This would never have happened if Al Davis was alive.

Seriously, what a dysfunctional organization. And fired "without pay".
Press conference at 5pm on ESPNews. Reason for firing was "just cause"....per a Raider release.
this is all wrong....i dont understand the raiders any longer. havent they heard about team chesmistry? i think that the team needs to build together...and once they do this more they will start winning more. its not all about the coaches!
Such a class organization, they still owe Shanahan money and he has owned the Raiders when they play the Broncos. If I were Al Davis, I'd just pay him the ~ $300,000 to get rid of the "bad juju" Pay Kiffin too.
I know I saw that on Comcast West and laughed the whole time. Al was a quote machine and it was quite hilarious. He also raised some great points too. Even called Chris Mortenson a "professional liar". :lol:
Great to see Davis ruin another Raiders team.
What sane coach would want to work for him now?

This is excellent. All of the other AFC West teams should thank him.
Al Davis steps out of the coffin in the daylight and doesn't melt - who knew??

WOW - he sure did a damn good job of confirming his Altzheimers - came across as a bitter crotchity old man - Al, your time has passed - let it go brother, let it go.
He did look like The Crypt Keeper...
I hope that Lane Kiffen finds himself with another team and tortures the Raiders.

Like Gruden, Shanahan, Turner... You know, all of the bad coaches (according to the Legendary Al Davis).
If Al liked Rob Ryan so much, why didn't he get the promotion to "interim" coach?
5 coaches in 7 years.

I think it's kinda funny that Davis constantly fires coaches for making bad decisions but he's hired 4 "bad" coaches in 6 years. I wonder if Davis will fire himself?

The Raiders are a soap opera, not a football team.
That's it Raider Haters keep it coming. Karma will get you in the end. :D
Raiders and karma. Kind of an oxymoron.

Just weird baby.
New slogan.
