Wacka Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 The local paper (Contra Costa Times) says that Davis is firing Kiffin this AM and is already interviewing the assistants coaches for his replacement. One of the candidates is James Lofton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Has Ryan screwed himself out of a HC job with 2 4th quarter defensive collapses in a row? Since this is Davis we're talking about...probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Per usual, I think Davis is making a mistake. The Raider team I saw over the last three weeks played hard for Kiffin; they honestly and legitimately could be 3-1. Sure, they blew late leads, but their team (particularly on offense) is very young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this is Davis we're talking about...probably not. Yeah, I thought the point in getting rid of Kiffin was so Ryan could take the position? I had heard before though that Davis has a reputation for interviewing people he has no intention of hiring just so he can pick their brain for ideas and plays, and schemes, etc. Maybe thats what he is doing to some of the assistants before he shows them the door along with Kiffin?

One of the candidates is James Lofton. Since you live in the Bay area, what do the fans think about this? Last time they fired a coach at week 4, it was Shanny. While he's not my favorite coach by any stretch, you can't argue with the success he's had in Denver. Are the fans getting closer to turning on Davis, or are they resigned to the fact that it's just business as usual for the Raiders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 No offense to the OP, but untill I see a valid link, I'm not buyin' it. What a mess there. Maybe Ralph made a mistake bailing them out in the mid-60's.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mostly Al can do no wrong, but there is a growing group saying that he should step down as GM and /or sell the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From PFTs one liners: Pleasant surprise team: Buffalo Bills A year ago, Buffalo looked like it was making baby steps in the right direction, with a promising young quarterback in Trent Edwards. linkination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacka Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 It was about 80% of the front page of the sports section this AM. The rest of the page was about the bad A's and Giants seasons. If they went with it that much, I lay good odds it is a done deal. Of course in Buffalo, It would be on the front page of the whole paper. Remember, it is still ~8:30 AM here. Davis probably isn't up yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
