Oakland Raiders majority owner Al Davis has cut the coach who did the most for the team since Jon Gruden. I'm completely numb.
If football is a business, then Al's decision to cut coach Tom Cable is either the most genius of moves or the most idiotic. Time will tell. So far nobody has been named as the new coach. Offensive Coordinator Hue Jackson is scheduled to meet with the San Francisco 49ers today regarding their open head coach position. I suppose the Cable guy might carpool across the bay bridge with Hue to see what positions, if any, he might find available to him in niner-land.
I can't give a clear opinion on this move of Al's since he hasn't come out and said what direction he's leading the team toward. Players have made comments and statements out of frustration and shock, but I'm going to wait and see what Big Al pulls out of his ..........(be nice)..........sleeve.
At this time I'd like to take a moment to thank Coach Tom Cable for bringing repectability back to the Silver & Black. Here's to Coach Cable, a blue-collar coach who proved himself worthy of promotion. Always a Raider Tom, Always a Raider!
