Tom Cable will not be retained as head coach by Raiders
M Dogg™:
This was done to promote Hue Jackson, who looks to be gone unless his promoted. Jackson make it known from the moment he got there, his looking for a HC position, and if he has to prove himself by turning the Raiders offence around, he'll do it. Jackson's sources say his as good as hired. Cable was very much a players coach, the players loved him and followed him. Jackson was an X's and O's guy, and had the game plan. Together they did an amazing job turning the Raiders around and they produced the 6th best offence in the NFL. Let me repeat, with Bruce Campbell as your QB, the Raiders had the 6th best offence in the NFL. So logic says keep things the same, but Jackson wants to HC. So you have to pick one, and Al is going with Jackson. Do I like it, not sure, but I will roll with it and see if this prevents the players from revolt.

Most experts were expecting them to be around 8-8. I dont think a LOT of people were expecting them to be involved in any playoff discussions in December really....but thats because no one was expecting the Chargers to suck so bad.
As for the move...Im not even sure what to think about it so far. The problem is, he was popular amongst the players. Shane Lechler in an interview mentioned that it could affect key free agents this year like Gallery and Bush. He said both guys might not come back with Cable leaving. I hate the instability. But I also DO like Hue Jackson. Im sure he will get a head coaching position whether its with us or not. The Niners already asked for permission to speak with him...which just happened to coincide with Cable's contract not being extended. So if we manage to keep Hue Jackson as our headcoach, I wont mind the move so much. If we dont land him...its a huge mistake.

Don't be surprised if they promote him from second string Right Guard to Quarterback for next season.
