So let me get this straight

The Raiders are 1-1 and Al wants to fire Kiffin.

The Browns are 0-2 and Romeo gets to keep his job apparently.

Who is the real dumb one here?

Raiders just put up a great running game. Why the fuck would Al Davis do this? At least wait till end of the season.

Al wants to fire him cause Al can't tell Lane what to do. So fuck Al, fight the power, etc.

He said the Raiders crappy defensive performance against Denver had nothing to do with him because "Rob Ryan and the owner" are the ones who run the defense. He also complained about the team not bringing enough talent in the offseason/preseason, attributing the lack of roster moves to Davis. Basically he's taken every chance he could to take a shot at Davis.

Because, shitstain, the Raiders have always been a passing franchise and running the ball is NOT their or Al Davis' MO.

It's been clear for quite a while now that Lane Kiffin has not been running the team per Davis' wishing and its time he was kicked to the curb for someone with a fucking clue.

Running the ball won't bring more fans to the Raider Nation and Davis, unlike Kiffin, knows this.

You're right, WINNING brings fans.

And you know what? Lane Kiffin DOUBLED their wins from 2 to 4 last year.

A coach needs at least three years without an absolutely retarded GM and owner (hurrr Al Davis is a goddamn senile retard) to get anywhere.

If running the ball works, KEEP DOING IT!

He shouldn't fire him, but that's the way it's going.

Kiffin basically called Al Davis on all the shit he does to the Raiders. Signing overpriced FAs, not putting an emphasis on the running game, despite signing an extension with Justin Fargas, *and* drafting a running back with the 4th pick of the 1st round. Telling reporters that Al Davis personally games plan the defense with the Defensive coordinator, and then last Wed, he basically said that you're only hired to be fired by Davis' whims. Results be damned.

>His fate was sealed last Wednesday, when Kiffin told the media that Week 1's 41-14 Monday night meltdown against the Broncos happened in large part because coordinator Rob Ryan and the team's owner conspire to exclude him from defensive decisions.

Why would he wants to coach the Raiders after they did this to him?

i think kiffin was referring to fixing the offensive line, like getting decent guards. theres more to the running game than just running backs
>> Anonymous
>>338275Why would he wants to coach the Raiders after they did this to him?

If Kiffin quits, like Davis has been trying to make him do, Davis doesn't have to pay him the remainder of his contract.

Surely you remember the news item last year that Davis drafted Kiffin's resignation letter and tried to make him sign it, rather than outright fire him?

They needed a receiver so they signed the best one they could get.

You can't do everything in a year. They did go out and get Kwame Harris. Also, Mario Henderson,
a Raiders third round pick last year, looked decent against KC.

alright here's my motherfucking take on it

i dont give a shit if im wasting my breath with "logic" on 4chan...but here goes

Kiffin should stay, Al Davis needs to die.

As a life long Raider Fan, I know that this organization cant and most likely wont have a winning season until Al Davis gives up power to someone else. But as a life long Raider Fan, I know that Al Davis would never do that, so he must die.

Kiffin DID do some chicken shit in the interviews this week, trying to distance himself from the shit that was our defense on week one. but the buck stops at the head coach, and he should have taken the criticism like a man. If he's able to stay longer, he might learn that.

shifting coaches every two fucking seasons isnt going to do shit for us. we have a young quarterback, shaky offensive line, apparently NO defense save Nnamdi Asomugha, and we are 1-1 and not looking good doing it.

and you know what. FUCK YEAH FINALLY SOMEONE IS TALKING BACK TO AL DAVIS. Art Shell was a tool and tool = 2-14 Kiffin wants so bad for this team to be better, and he wants the ability to fire/hire personell without interference...but thanks to Al he cant do that!

WHEW

tl;dr AL DAVIS MUST DIE

Then that one nigger had the break his neck with that helmet to helmet hit (Not called either) and Callahan stupidly used the playbook that John Gruden wrote while playing against him, of course they were going to lose the super bowl and that makes me want to punch babies.

Lane has done nothing but tell it like it is. In fact, he has always told the truth. He doesn't sugar coat things, or lie to hide what a jackass Al Davis is.

Other coaches did, and they got fired. Lane knows he's going either way, so why not just tell the truth anyways?

So much for having the 'best' team. Can't even keep composure to win a 'routine' game. Best yet the year after the raiders finally get there and blow goats to the coach from the year before. Welcome to sucking in the new century!

The problem with Al Davis is is main philosophy of "Don't Rebuild, Reload and Retry". He overpays past-their-prime athletes, and does nothing to change the culture of the team. The NFL is not a league of parity anymore, the good teams are great, and the bad ones are very bad. You can't go from the low end to the high end in one year anymore. Well, unless you're in the NFC West of course.

Kick out the overpaid geezers, replace the antiquated coaches.
Bring in younger talent.
Develop the talent to fit your system.

Profit.
