Mark Davis probably wanting to have his firing in the spotlight rather than overshadowed by the black Monday firings? Who knows but this was kind of expected. I do think AP has some good leadership qualities as the players loved him and played hard for him but not an X & O's guy and extremely dependant on his coordinators. He may have a future as an assistant coach or something but he wasn't enough of a tactician to be an NFL head coach.
Now that's out of the way Raiders fans have to sit back and see if Mark Davis can actually hire a good coach. When your best swing at head coach has been Jack Del Rio you have a lot of improvement to make.
