Tom Cable still Raiders coach...for now
Technically Tom Cable is still head football coach of the Oakland Raiders. For now anyways.
But that isn't stopping Raiders owner Al Davis from interviewing candidates for the Raiders head coaching job. Then again, not much has stopped Davis from doing things his way.
The Raiders are the most dysfunctional franchise in the NFL and arguably in all of major sports. And as Monte Poole of the Oakland Tribune points out, the first part of the solution is the acknowledgment of the problem, which Poole believes Davis has done.
Either way, the Raiders hold the record for consecutive seasons of losing 11+ games (seven years) and finished last in NFL attendance (44,284) and percentage of tickets sold (70.3) in 2009.
Davis has interviewed Jim Fassel, who won the UFL championship last season, and Marc Trestman, who won the CFL championship last year, for head coach. Meanwhile, the Raiders will interview Ravens quarterbacks coach Hue Jackson for an undisclosed position.
In addition, David White of the San Francisco Chronicle believes Davis may interview Kevin Gilbride, the Giants offensive coordinator, and Winston Moss, who is an assistant coach in Green Bay.
Stay tuned...
