Allowing 17 points in the final eight minutes of a 24-23 loss to the Bills might prove the final straw for Al Davis.
Sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen on Sunday that the Oakland Raiders owner intends to fire coach Lane Kiffin as early as Monday. Team officials have told the coach of the impending move.
Foxsports.com first reported that Kiffin will be fired.
When asked after Sunday's defeat if he was worried about his job, Kiffin replied: "I don't even think about that."
Reports surfaced in the Contra Costa Times last week that Davis wanted to fire his coach because he was upset about a string of critical comments Davis viewed as a form of insubordination.

"There are certain things I can control, there's certain things I can't," Kiffin said last week. "This happens to be the next one. He has a decision to make. It does me no good to worry about it right now."
The questions about Kiffin's status have been lingering over the organization since January, when the coach and owner were at odds over the defensive coordinator in a dispute that led to Davis sending Kiffin a letter of resignation to sign.
The feud has simmered ever since Davis overruled Kiffin and kept defensive coordinator Rob Ryan on staff. Kiffin has been publicly critical of personnel moves since then, distancing himself from moves he felt were made by the owner. Kiffin admitted last week he probably could have handled his relationship with management better.
He acknowledges it's not easy to do his work amid all the reports about his job security but was proud of how his team has stayed focused.
"I don't think it helps. But like I said, I can't do anything about it," Kiffin said. "So all I can do is try to get our coaching staff to stay together in this type of situation, our players to stay together, and they did it last week [in a win over the Chiefs]. Our players did a great job in not allowing it to be a distraction for them."




Great AL! Just F'en GREAT!
We lost 2, won 1, (add another if you count preseason)
For the first time in ages we have a running game, AND a defense (sometimes)
Now you want to go and switch up Coaches DURING a season.
Leave Ryan where he is! I don't want to see him gone as well :deevee:

JUST F***ING DIE ALREADY YOU GERIATRIC PRICK :cuss:

First in with: Great! Let's fire herm and hire him!

Im all for it

Kiffin actually was starting to turn around the Raiders.........at least more so than what Herm is doing with the Chiefs......they have a defense and a running game......we don't.

Good god NO, we'd end up with herm:cuss:

al davis is a moron, but he has a hard on for Ryan...

C'mon bring Lane to kc, hell anyone

I'm still not seeing a problem.

Then again, we gave ya McGlocton, you gave us ganon.
Could be the HC switch could work.

NAAAAAAAAAA.
Keep the guy, as bad as we are, your bunch give me SOMETHING to laugh about on Sunday's :D

I'm going to be really pissed off when the Raiders out-suck us and end up with a higher draft pick.

I don't see it happening.

How can you out suck 0-16 ?

ask your mom for starters...

weak.

Can we hire him?

it would be a huge upgrade, instantly.

LK is going to coach for the Broncos

Kiffin, when fired, will go to Syracuse after they fire GRob.

A more likely scenario, is the Chiefs fire Herm and hire GRob as HC.

Herm has to fire a coach to safe face -in his own mind
kiffin will do -what ever that postion is

Not gonna happen this year - they already won 1 game...

This is the best thing that could happen for the rest of us. It seems like every time that club starts moving in the right direction old Al loses his patience and blows it all up hoping someone else can come in and fix it within 3 months. I hope that cycle continues until Al dies of old age at 165.

Hire him immediately as an offensive consultant or fire Dickie baby and make him our QB coach for the rest of the year.

ROFL I love the faid! They're gonna fire Kiffin because the defense that is run by a coach that he tried to run off but was overruled by crazy Al gave up a bunch of points.

You can't make this shit up!!!

Report: Kiffin will be Raiders' coach Tuesday

Citing a team source, NFL.com's Adam Schefter reports that Lane Kiffin will still be the Raiders' head coach on Tuesday.
"There’s nothing happening today," the source said. "It ain’t happening." Since Tuesday is an NFL day of rest it'd be a good time for a firing, but owner Al Davis could also continue putting a move off until Oakland's Week 5 bye. Sep. 22 - 5:47 pm et

I would neg rep you for that thought but then I remembered Carl is running things.:deevee:

Young coaches that Al Davis has fired have gone on to win Super Bowls and even torment the Raiders for years and years. Bring him here:D

So giving up 17 points in the final 8 mins will get Kiffin canned and the DC promoted to HC.

Sounds like a plan to me.

Meanwhile in Clark Hunts office,

Clark: Herm come in sit down.Hows the family?.....good?....good.

Herm, Look the team is not where we'd thought it would be, the fans aren't happy,Carl's not happy and quite frankley I'm not happy

Herm: It's OKAAAA............

Clark(interupting): No, Herm its not !!!! Black outs,paper bags,empty seats.........The Raiders Herm?!?!?! You lost to the ****ing Raiders!

Herm: It was close at Halftime,we had a chanc...........

Clark: The option Herm!?!?! You actually ran the option!?

CLARK: Lane Kiffin just became available and were bringing him in for an interview.

Herm: What's he like 20 years old!?!?!?!?!

Clark: WE'RE REBUILDING GET OVER IT!

That would be my last day as a Chiefs fan.

I would never have thought you could be so cruel :#

This story and video made the rounds today. I'm glad to see MediaNews Group give the the go ahead to the editors at Mercury News to publish a tough situation at the Raiders press conference today. To make matters worse, the reporters caught it on tape.
