rackemrack Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 i like the raiders because they make the bills look so much more competent, i'd rather have jauron than cable as my coach, but maybe the raiders are trying to keep a coach more than 2 years now...

CarolinaBill Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 good move by the raiders, avoid the embarrassing lies that people would inevitably make up about who didn't want to interview for the job by keeping the cable guy for one more year. Al davis is a football genius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el Tigre Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I actually think keeping Cable is a good move. He's not a hall of famer,but I don't think he totally sucks either. He has the players respect and with even average QB play,they're at least .500 last year,imo. The Raiders were a decent team when Gradkowski was at QB. Russell's got to go,he's a coach killer. The sooner Al Davis realizes that,the better for the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cable actually has the Raiders playing better than they have in some time... he is handcuffed by Russell... despite all the bad press he has gotten, I think keeping him was a wise move for Al Davis.

vincec Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 good move by the raiders, avoid the embarrassing lies that people would inevitably make up about who didn't want to interview for the job by keeping the cable guy for one more year. Al davis is a football genius The saddest thing about all of this is that Al Davis WAS a football genius. These last few years are tarnishing his legacy and making a generation of fans think of him as some hack owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/...-cable-is-safe/ raiders now deny report that Cable is safe You know, even if the Raiders had decided to keep Cable (which I think they should), I could see Davis firing him now, just to spite the "insiders" who are saying the decision has been made...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Cable has actually done a good job as Raiders coach. As Tigre and Buftex point out, if Davis hadn't insisted on drafting JaMarcus Russell and inserting him into the starting lineup, the Raiders would be an above .500 team. The Raiders beat the Eagles, Bengals, Broncos and Steelers this year and played some close games against good competition. Cable is an excellent offensive line coach and I was hoping that he would get fired so the Bills could hire him to run the offensive line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and by the sound of things,that still may be a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
