Ok..ok.. I know most on here think the Raiders are the gutter of the NFL, etc..etc. But i wanted to get an honest opinion around the country. The majority of Raiderfans think Lane Kiffin even @ 5-12 over his tenure hasn't been given a fair shake by Davis. Yes we all understand the circumstances (e.g. The Al Davis way, Arkansas rumor, etc) so there no need to go over it again. Ok forget succeeding, but how about some fucking stability? It takes atleast 2-3 years for a coaching staff and system to establish themselves. How would any team succeed when the coaching situation is a revolving door year after year. Especially now with some really talented rookies who are coached under Kiffin.
For whatever rumors you've read or heard, here's the honest truth. The bottom line is that lockerroom is behind Kiffin. The players have already spoken. Nmamdi Asomouga, Ronald Curry, Jamarcus, McFadden, Thomas Howard, and Kirk Morrison. All of those guys are contributers and all of them disagree he should be fired but at the same time, they understand its Al's team so they can't go too far as far as their opinions. A prime example is that last year after running off 6 straight losses, that lockerroom could have easily imploded. But instead, they've stuck together because they believe in the system Lane's trying to implement.
I could go on and on but i just wanted your opinions.
Is Lane getting a fair shake or is Al justified in trying to fire him midseason?
