Is Al Davis That Retarded?

BAGIANT · Jan 5, 2011

How can you let a coach like Cable go when he's the best thing that has happened to the Raiders since 2002?

The guy only led his team to a .500 record, and defeated EVERY opponent in their division TWICE!! Before this year, the Raiders were in contention for the 1st draft pick almost every year.

So what is this guys thinking? Who does he think he's going to replace Cable with, for the money he wants to pay, and would put up with his BS. We all know Al likes to run things from upstairs, and that's why he lost Gruden.

I listened to Phil Vilipiano, former Raider interviewed on the NFL network on Sirius radio, and he had nothing but bad things to say about the firing. He feels that the Raiders took a step backward with this firing. I think it might be MORE than a few steps backwards.

What the hell was Davis thinking? In a press release, the Raiders said that this wasn't a last minute decision, and it's been a long time in the works!:think2:

Hes probably looking at Eric Mangini

Read that Al believes his OC was more responsible for the success and not as much Cable. Stupid fire but I love it because I cant stand the Raiders

Quote from current Raider Shane Lechler...

"I just looked at my wife and said, 'I can't go through another head coach.' This will be six now in 12 years, and it's not fun. [...] I think this is going to be a huge setback for us, to tell you the truth.

"Tom was good at how he handled the whole 'dealing with Al' and all that situation. He was one of the better coaches I had at handling that part of it, and not letting that part of it bother the football team.

"I seriously have a hard time believing that we're not going to now lose some very key free agent guys. I think now you'll probably see people like Robert Gallery(notes) go on to another team. Probably Michael Bush(notes). Probably a handful of guys that we really, really need back here.

"I'm not so sure -- and I don't mind saying it, I've been here long enough -- I'm not so sure this wasn't a terrible decision."

ok, normally I stay out of this type of stuff, not this time. How are your guys NFL teams doing? How many Super Bowls have your teams won? How many millions have you made with your pro football team? How many millions have you made the league with your pro football team? Answer, none! Fuckin' get over it, Davis is crazy! Who aint, the dumb asses from Dallas ( NFL & NBA ) how many titles they won? Hows the Vikings owner(s) doing? I don't need to go on, I think you get the point. Never heard half you clowns on Cables dick until it gave you a chance to rip Davis, wonder why? I would like to know the source of the Lecher quote.
