Why in the hell are we going to get rid of Cable...It makes no sense at all to make this move...But than agian our owner is Al Davis so anything is possible....
Im cool off Hugh Jackson coaching the team and Cable bouncing....
The last 8 season prior to this have been totally crap and now we are going to change what is working.....

if you cant keep them both then axe Cable and promote Hue Jackson. This guy gets it. I dont think Cable really understands the game. I believe he is a great motivator but there is a better solution. I cant help but think we are a better team with a better coach this year and definately next season. I like Cable, Im not mad if he comes back but I dont wanna lose Hue Jackson at all..
Jackson wasn’t interview subject

Hue Jackson may have the advantage when it comes to being the Raiders next head coach, but not enough to be the first candidate interviewed.
The Raiders confirmed they had begun the process of replacing Tom Cable Monday, but beat writer Steve Corkran is reporting Jackson did not interview, citing a source close to Jackson.
That doesn’t mean Jackson won’t be interviewed or won’t be the head coach, of course. But if Al Davis is considering leaving Jackson as the offensive coordinator and hiring another head coach, it opens up the possibility of a coach with a defensive background being under consideration while leaving the offense to Jackson.
This is strictly speculation, but keep the name Rob Ryan in mind. His status is tenuous at best in Cleveland with Eric Mangini out, he’s interviewed for the job before with Davis and made sure not to burn any bridges when he left after his contract expired.
Although Ryan’s defenses weren’t particularly successful, players on both sides of the ball loved him. And while that may not be a big criteria for Davis, it could go a long way toward making a lot of players who were upset over Cable’s departure feel better about a change.
Like Nnamdi Asomugha, for instance.

playoffs are gay i could give two shits who wins im looking forward to next year hopefully these asshole owners dont fuck it up
thats some crazy shit how the tv contracts are worked out so the owners still get paid even if the games arent played. so they get 4.5 bill from that and then dont have to pay 4 bill for contracts and other costs. Makes sense from a business standpoint.
