08:03 AM ET 10.12 | Al Davis, the Raiders' owner, died Saturday, leaving some to wonder how the NFL franchise will operate going forward. [Amy Trask] said Saturday that "the team will remain in the Davis family. There is a succession plan in place in that regard." Trask and Davis' son, Mark Davis, will search for a director of football operations or a general manager, possibly both. In the meantime, first-year coach Hue Jackson will make personnel decisions, something he said Monday that he is ready to do. Who is on the Raiders' list? Calls around the league provide a rough list to start with, and one name that kept popping up was Tom Gamble, 49ers director of player personnel.

Gonna miss Al, those were some games back in the 70's. He definitely was a competitor.

I believe he was one of the Great ones, but man he hurt the Raiders the last couple of years.

She is the very model of an NFL executive. (Think Gilbert and Sullivan. I know, it's early.)

He admited as much in interviews the last 2-3 years. He always vowed to turn it around before he died.

Seems like a return to normalcy for the entire league.

When the Jets and Eagles were annointed to the Superbowl during the preseason it must've been a misprint. It should've been Bills and Lions.

I can't believe I just wrote that. And I was at least half-way serious, too.

Amy Trask. Hot? or not?

Not. There are some more flattering pics out there when you Google her, but little miss CEO can afford a good makeup artist for her special photo ops.
