The more things change the more they stay the same.....I hope Al Davis lives forever and that his senility grows 10 fold with each passing year.

He might as well quit. Not because of his performance. But because Davis will make life and his job so miserable that it won't be worth the headache. It will be a sad day for the rest of the teams in the AFC West when Davis finally buys the farm.

If he quits, he doesn't get any of the money remaning on his contract.

I know. But god, is the money worth the stress of having to work for Al Davis?

You really can't help but feel sorry for Raider fans. If the rumors of Davis bringing in Denny Green to replace Kiffin are true, this franchise will remain stuck exactly where they are for at least the next 2-3 seasons. Green absolutely does not have what it takes to rebuild that franchise. If the guy couldn't make a Cardinals team full of good young players decent, how is he going to finish rebuilding the Raiders?

Ask Shanahan, even if he's fired he doesn't get the money...

A new recruit for the RaiderHater club.

Maybe those scholars in Alemeda County will start throwing their batteries up at the press box instead of the visitors bench now.

Best hire they've made since Shanahan.

Idiot.

Shanahan and Gruden. Two young brilliant coaches axed because of Skeletor's big ego. Looks like Kiffen could be the third.

Year after year of mismanagement and circus-like personnel decisions makes me wonder why Im a fan sometimes. Now I can identify with Oylah fans. <Shudder>

^^ And Skins fans. It seems Dan Snyder wants to fight Al Davis for the most incompetent owner award.

Ya I can't believe all this has happened. At the start of the year(and IMO throughout the year), Kiffin looks like a guy that could breathe new life into this franchise. But it sounds like Kiffin's been auditioning to try and land a head coaching gig in the NCAA. Apparently the Arkansas job was all but his until Petrino shockingly stepped down from the Falcons and took it. I guess it p***** off Al Davis to no end(which I could see), and with his "you're either with us 100% or against us" mentality, he's now basically telling Kiffin to take a hike.It's really too bad, I thought Kiffin would become a great young coach in this league...but to replace him with Denny Green??? Weak sauce...

But to talk about really stupid owners in the NFL, what the hell's goin down in Washington right now???

How did I forget about Gruden?
