Adam Schefter deserved mad props for sticking to his sources sunday during the game that he wouldn't be retained
al davis is a dumbass
-
Cable seems like a good coach. Raiders had a huge turnaround. Nobody really expected them to have a decent year. This makes no sense ???

cable isn't under contract
the two coordinators are
hugh jackson (offensive coord) is getting inquiries about HC from other teams I guess and Davis said "fuck it I'll promote Jackson since he's under contract already and I want him to stay"
very risky...Cable isn't an X and O's guy though he's a cheerleader guy and a physical, technique/skill coach
-
^ Makes sense
I would have re-signed Cable though
-
The Raiders show the first sign of life in years and leave it to Al Davis to go with a coaching change. What a twit. He threw away a ring by dropping Gruden so I guess Cable is an easy choice. Just don't win baby!

me too lol
but hey, cable likes to beat up assistant coaches so maybe he deserved this lol
-
Cable probably won't head coach this year, but he should definitely at least get a co-ordinator job

From a stability standpoint and a raiders fan I am sick of all the changes. From just looking back at the season yeah we had a great shot at going on the playoffs but we did not close out 2-4 close games and even with 3-5 games left in the season, Cable still seemed reluctant to go with Campbell. Just too much uncertainty and 2nd guessing, yup sounds like Oakland to me.

I wouldnt blame him about being unsure of Campbell though.
Bad decision by Al, IMO.

With Weis gone in KC I'd jump all over McDaniels to keep him from going there and get John Fox to head coach and run the defense. And they'll win the division next year. But with Al Davis....

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.

Jason Campbell... my bad... with all this confusion I have no idea what's going on... LMAO

Yeah I know, but still, don't be surprised if you predicted something with out knowing it.
Unless you had him mistaken not with the RG but with Hollywood B Movie star Bruce Campbell, because that would be absolutely awesome.

Fuck it...lets give it a shot!! Put Bruce Campbell under center...giving us an extra offensive linman in the game...and just run McFadden!

As long as Chris Morris is the full back leading the way, that's 7 blockers on the field, DMC is not getting touched until his 7 years down field, and with his speed his not going down until 15 years down field.

Cable is not a coordinator
he's a skill coach

You know, Im really concerned about us losing Bush this offseason. He could definitely start somewhere else. We need to throw a lot of money out there and keep this guy.

I'm still waiting for the Colts to sign him as at least the offensive line coach. They have a fucking tight end from the 90s Bills coaching them. The Colts need a guy like Cable to beat up a few assistants in the meetings. They would have converted all of those 3rd and 1s. If they can get Cable and Bush, look out for Indy next year.
Of course it's wishful thinking. Hell, even Marcel Reece coming in with Cable would be a huge deal.

Gallery might wanna come with him. He is a big Tom Cable guy. But Gallery fits the look of a Raider more than a Colt

They could use a beast like him. And Colts need a bit of a Raider look to them and a bit of a Raider attitude as well. Cable, Aso, Bush, and Gallery could be a 19-0 team. And I mean this past year even with all the injuries.
