Wiretap: Source: Davis To Fire Kiffin

FOX Sports - Raiders coach Lane Kiffin has been informed by team officials that owner Al Davis intends to remove him from his position as early as Monday, according to a report on FOXSports.com.

Davis blames Kiffin for the Raiders' 24-23 loss on Sunday to the Bills, and told many that he will make the move on Monday.

However, a similar report surfaced more than a week ago and Kiffin survived to coach another day.


I guess we can say the Raiders are a top five pick lock in the draft next year. I wonder where Kiffin goes from here? College Ranks? Syracuse's job might be open.

Yeah, it was Kiffin's fault that we stopped blitzing and just let the Bills march down on us twice in the final 6 minutes... :roll:

This franchise does everything back asswards... we finally got a little momentum going, even w/this loss, and Al just can't have it... what a joke :nonono:

Al Davis is the most senile owner in sports. Lane Kiffin is one of the bright spots the Raiders have and he is threatening his job week in and week out. He is one of the best young minds in football and to have his job threatened each week is not fair to him or his players.

The only game they were completely out of was the defenses fault which apparently he has no control of. If anyone should feel the heat it is Ryan for the Week 1 performance, and as 510 said letting the defense collapse in the final minutes of the Bills game.

Kiffin is the best coach we've had in a while.

I'll pay someone 10k to go find Al Davis and kill him. It would be the dream of every one of us Raiders fans. :D
