Kiffin raiding Raiders staff
Interim Raiders coach Tom Cable lashed out at assistant offensive line coach James Cregg on Monday for leaving with two games left in the season and joining former coach Lane Kiffin's staff at Tennessee. Cregg told Cable of his decision to depart the Raiders on Sunday night, telling him he was taking a job with the Volunteers. "Quite frankly, I'm disappointed by all these things, mostly by the fact that someone would quit on this organization, this football team and this head coach at this juncture," Cable said Monday. "It's wrong." It's the latest strike in the feud between Kiffin and Raiders owner Al Davis, which started a year ago when Kiffin wanted to interview for the head coaching job at Arkansas before finishing his first season in Oakland.

Looks to me like the organization has already quit on itself.

Oh come on Cable, shouldn't you be focusing on your teams new NFL record of six consecutive seasons with 11 or more loses? The entire coaching staff could walk out today and this sad sack organization will attain the same result as if you were there..........3 - 13. Just lose baby.

Sorry but didn't the Raiders fire Kiffin during the season? Maybe the coaches see the writing on the wall.

I'm surprised that the Raiders wanted to keep their offensive line coach

Don't worry about the Raiders staff, Coach Cable. You probably won't be there next year either.

I'd be careful, because the Raiders' staff hasn't exactly done great this year.

Kiffin hired those guys in the first place, and the Raiders ae going nowhere...again. Should they wait until they are put out to the pasture? No, they should jump on their next opportunity while they can.

Oh come on - Cable is out of his mind. Any decent coach would do almost anything to get out of Oakland. His protestations ring shallow - just because he wants to kiss Al Davis's **** doesn't mean he should expect anybody else to.

As long as owners let coaches go mid season and mid contract and turn out their staff, then they can expect nothing different in return..
maybe he is just ticked that Kiffin did not offer him a position and he knows he is on the way out too?

Cable was probably one of the assistant coaches stabbing Kiffin in the back so as they say; what goes around comes around. Besides, in order to coach an offensive line you have to HAVE an offensive line.

Why should anyone stay loyal to Davis, the team or players when none of them are loyal in return. I wish Kiffin nothing but success down in Tenn. and hope he wins a national title.
