Al Davis has been running the Raiders for 44 years. He has seen the Raiders win three Super Bowls among their 28 winning seasons and has been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Sunday, he sat in a Metrodome executive suite and talked about his refusal to retire until he wins two more Super Bowls. He is convinced he can accomplish that.

He sang the praises of Culpepper and said his only regret was that some coaches persuaded him to trade Randy Moss. Otherwise he could have one of the best 1-2 punches in football back together and a winning franchise.

Oakland had the No. 1 overall pick in the April draft and took Louisiana State quarterback JaMarcus Russell, but Russell held out until the season began and has yet to play. "I want to give Daunte a chance to see what he can do," Davis said Sunday. "And so far, he has done all right."

Davis had the courage to hire Lane Kiffin as his head coach at age 31. While not critical of Kiffin, a Bloomington Jefferson graduate and former Southern California offensive coordinator, Davis said he was not happy with the team's 2-8 record.

Talk about legends in the NFL, this man certainly is one.

If Kiffin has no say so then why in the hell was McCown playing?

oh I don't know, i'm sure major injuries for consecutive years and not doing shit when healthy, add to that a new team, new system with a new coach...NONE of that played a factor in why pep didn't play first couple weeks right???????

he has made some strange decisions but it seems like now he is on track it seems he is doing all he can to make things better and honestly even though the raiders are 2-8 we got a new coach and there is a huge improvment since last year we aint losing by 20 somthin points no more. and u cant just build a superbowl team in one season it takes a while but soon it can happen this is just the beginning

^If he wanted whats best for the team, he'd step down. Off topps. Thas why no one (coaches) wantin' to work in Oakland. He's KNOWN for bein' the shot caller. He's a stubborn muthafucka that wants to win on his own terms. And that's why we've been as horrible as we've been for decades now. He needs to allow Kiffin to BE A COACH & guide the team to the best path possible. I have more faith in Kiffin than Al Davis.
