If Davis wants to fire Kiffin, fine. That's his right as owner. I think it's a stupid move, but it's his team.

But be a man and pay the guy what he is owed.

He will have to pay him. That won't be a negotiable item.

Although, the more he dicks with Kiffin, what he ends up paying could only end up going higher, once the lawyers get involved.

Oh, he's owed the money, but don't for one second think it's going to be paid until there's a drawn-out lawsuit.

And frankly, I think Davis is doing his best to screw Lane Kiffin's master plan: to live off the remainder of his contract for a year or two and take his time to find the perfect college job.

I don't disagree, but I also think the price tag is going to escalate, probably significantly, for pulling such a stunt.

The Raider players, etc. have moved on from the Silver and Black magic of the past. Al Davis? That's all he's got.

The rumor mill is that Syracuse will want Kiffin once they take Greg Robinson out back and shoot him Old Yeller style to put everyone out of their misery.

Kiffin's an idiot if he even returns Syracuse's call. He'd be trading a boss who is a senile old man who threw him under the bus for a younger boss who has absolutely no fucking clue what he's doing and will throw him under the bus the first chance he gets.

Syracuse needs to get the finger from the coaching fraternity until its AD is fired.

Kiffin would go back to SC and wait for a good college job before he'd take Syracuse. Once the carousel starts spinning, he'll be in the mix for a solid gig.

Anyway: none of the candidates are interesting. None of them are exciting. None of them should be head coach of a young team trying to develop some quality young talent.

Al Davis just fired a coach who, despite everything, had not had a young impressionable group of players who had only known losing, quit on him. They played their tails off, despite a dismal Week One effort after which I felt they had already quit on the whole season.

These guys had worked their tails off, and now they will have a new coach. And players like Nmandi Asomugha begin to count the days until free agency brings an escape from this old man's personal fiefdom.

That bastard cadaver showed once and for all that he was more interested in betraying his players just so he could have control when he forced out Jon Gruden. That man resurrected the franchise, and Davis got rid of him as soon as he could. Since then, it's been a joke parade of retreads and idiots, all on the whim of the Emperor.

I hope aging breaks him. I want to continue to watch it happen. I hope when he urinates, it hurts a hell of a lot. I hope he forgets his own name, and suffers that constant frustration. I hope he reaches his deathbed without knowing the satisfaction of "two or three more Super Bowls" as he has said.

Al Davis, I hope the rest of your days continue to be filled with complete unhappiness as the franchise you once made great, becomes a disaster at your hand.

As a Raiders fan, I agree with all of that. What a mother-freakin' joke. I'm almost to the point where I'm done with the Raiders until Al Davis dies. Not to wish death on anyone, but this old codger has been out of control since the late 1980s. He ran off Marcus Allen, tried to run Tim Brown out of town, traded a great offensive lineman for Jay fucking Schroeder when Steve Beuerlein was a better quarterback anyway. And the older Davis gets, the more illogical the personnel decisions become.

Fuck. Al. Davis. Fuck him.

When Al dies - or is exposed to sunlight and explodes - who owns the Raiders?

Re: Running Lane Kiffin is again about to be fired thread

Where is Roger Goodell? He sticks his nose in the Favre bullshit but lets this asshole ruin a franchise? What about his partners? Al isn't the majority owner. Has to be a way to get him out of the way.

Piotr Rasputin · Sep 30, 2008

Re: Running Lane Kiffin is again about to be fired thread

I believe Al Davis is majority owner, a fairly recent development. 2005 or so.

Leroy: I AM done until he dies. Or at least, I'm trying to be.
