Raiders Young Whipersnapper Coach Gets the Boot

"Too vocal for his liking," Raiders owner Al Davis fired coach Lane Kiffin, 33, last night, just two days after the Raiders bit it hard to the Chargers (28-18). Also, word is that Davis won't pay Kiffin the "roughly $3.5 million left on his contract," which expired in the 2009-2010 season. Kiffin, if you sports fans recall, has been vocal about his disdain for Davis, prattling on to the press about his "lack of power in choosing his players and coaches." Kids! We don't know what's wrong with these kids today! (SFGate)

I understand Al Davis is currently out in search of new leadership. Very publicly failing to honor his outgoing coach's contract should be a great way to attract talent.

Al Davis is insane. And I'm not gonna chalk it up to age since I think he's been insane for over twenty years.

Good for Lane, he can move on. He didn't deserve that sort of treatment. I hope he ends up like Mike Shanahan, whose team routinely beats the stuffing out of the Raiders.
