Oakland Tribune sources said that the Oakland Raiders will stick with Tom Cable as the new head coach. Raiders have deny it, but they always say that. If this is actually true, I'm very disappointed on their decision. There's so many great coaches out there this off-season and their just gonna make a haste decision on picking Tom Cable. I like the Raiders, no matter how bad its gotten, but choosing Tom Cable as a head coach is a bad move. Releasing Lane Kifflin was the worst move of them all in 2008 season. He had something going, and was a lot closer of winning games than losing. He knew how to run the offense, the only thing Al Davis cares about. Yes, Cable didn't have enough time to get the Raiders ready for his style of play. But his final results of the season deserves an D, and that's just being nice.
It's really not every one's fault for the worst 7 years in the franchise. All except one of course, Al Davis. Let's make a list of bad things he has done recently. Releasing DeAngelo Hall after paying him a huge contract. Releasing Lane Kifflin, who know how to run a amateur offense and trying to turn them into moderate players. Not getting the proper Wide Receiver(s) for quarterback JaMarcus Russell. Not using his money wisely. Most importantly, not looking for a replacement for "himself". I'm sorry, but he has done too much damage. His age is rising as the lost column is adding.
If Tom Cable is the head coach, the expectations are still gonna be low. If they don't find "professional" help; wide receiver, pass-rush defensive line, and coordinators, then they could be considered the worst team of the decade.
