05:57 AM ET 10.05 | In addition to enduring yet another difficult loss, the Oakland Raiders are bracing for the possibility that coach Tom Cable could be arrested soon in relation to an alleged assault on an assistant coach. Criminal charges against Cable could lead to a suspension by the league. "Everybody is trying to figure out who's going to take over if Tom isn't here," said an assistant coach, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. "John Marshall has a lot of experience, he's probably the guy. But it's nuts. It's crazy when you start to really think about it."

Bill Parcells once said "The circus doesn't stay in town forever".

He's never coached the Raiders...

Really? Do you really have to be concerned with "Who is going to take over" if cable leaves? They worried about losing some games their because of the turmoil or rocking that boat of stability Al has cultivated in his organization? Trust me...put Mr. Cable behind bars where he belongs for slugging his assistant...and no one will notice the difference. Except maybe the Raiders cooking staff who will notice their left overs growing exponentially. Particularly on pork chop night.

If I were him, I would not ask for bail. And no TV set.

The only crime being committed here is charging Raiders fans that attend the games.

Arrest him, throw him in jail. It would be easier on him there, then where he is now.

Just his ass? Why? Won't the rest of him fit in the cell?

The NFL should buy Alcatraz. Visitors could visit the prison and the NFL players housed there.

That replace "Just Win, Baby" and "Commitment To Excellence" as Davis's latest credo for the Raiders
