PromoTheRobot Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Just heard it on WGR...here is the link. Long east coast road trip AND a new coach? Not getting easier for the Faiders. PTR
Bmwolf21 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Just heard it on WGR...looking for link now. Long east coast road trip AND a new coach? Not getting easier for the Faiders. PTR That Al Davis is a smart, smart man.
Max Fischer Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Ryan is well-liked while Kiffin lost the team a while ago. I would rather they waited a week.
Bullpen Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 The model of what an NFL organization SHOULD be. Commitment to Excellence... A proud organization...
Stl Bills Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Not to mention all the media outlets had James Lofton stepping in as Interim HC.

Coach Tuesday Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Hold on there - the article is speculating that this will happen, but as far as I can tell it hasn't happened yet...
kota Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 This pisses me off to no end. Al Davis is considered a great owner and Ralph Wilson is not. WTF? 4 head coaches in 5 years. Yes Mr. Davis it's the other guys fault.
Beerball Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Hold on there - the article is speculating that this will happen, but as far as I can tell it hasn't happened yet... Yeah, there is that.
Typical TBD Guy Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 This pisses me off to no end. Al Davis is considered a great owner and Ralph Wilson is not. WTF? 4 head coaches in 5 years. Yes Mr. Davis it's the other guys fault. 3 Super Bowl titles and a 56% overall winning percentage certainly helps that perception.
BeastMode54 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 It's possible he Raiders come out all fired up due to a firing. Am I wrong?
bartshan-83 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 It's possible he Raiders come out all fired up due to a firing. Am I wrong? Anything's possible...but unless Kiffin was wildly unpopular with the players, I can't imagine this move will do anything but frustrate and demoralize them. At best, they will try to rally with the "all we got is us" mantra, but I don't think it will make a difference to a well-disciplined, efficient team like Buffalo has shown to be thus far.
RayFinkle Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Hold on there - the article is speculating that this will happen, but as far as I can tell it hasn't happened yet... Why let facts get in the way of a pefectly good thread.
PromoTheRobot Posted September 15, 2008 Author Posted September 15, 2008 Why let facts get in the way of a pefectly good thread. WGR is reporting like its a done deal. Reason given: insubordination. PTR

Kiffin is unpopular. What's worse, Ryan is well-liked. I think this will come as a relief to Oakland.
Lurker Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Reading Is Fundamental folks... Nah. It's way over-rated..... (the smoke's building pretty fast, however) "The first thing he said when he got to the podium was, ``Did Buffalo win?.'' He was told the Bills, who the Raiders face on the road next week, were 20-16 winners over Jacksonville. There are no guarantees Kiffin will be there to see it...."
BeastMode54 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Kiffin is unpopular. What's worse, Ryan is well-liked. I think this will come as a relief to Oakland. That's what I'm worried about
PromoTheRobot Posted September 15, 2008 Author Posted September 15, 2008 That's what I'm worried about The Raiders can be jacked to the nines...it doesn't change the fact that they are an undisciplined, unfocused team with a total rook for a QB. I'm not worried. PTR
RayFinkle Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 WGR is reporting like its a done deal. Reason given: insubordination. PTR gotcha....I thought you meant WGR referenced your link.
