Al Davis is reportedly trying to build a case against Tom Cable to fire the Raiders coach after this season “with cause.” You may recall this is the same reasoning Davis used for firing Lane Kiffin last September in an attempt to avoid paying the remainder of Kiffin’s contract.
Al Davis Looking To Fire Another Coach ‘With Cause’
↵From Yahoo!‘s Jason Cole (via PFT):
↵↵Some people expressed surprise at a report Sunday by ESPN that the Raiders are actually cooperating with the NFL in the investigation/evaluation of coach Tom Cable. Don’t be surprised. The reason, a source familiar with the case said, is that Oakland owner Al Davis is hoping to gather enough information to fire Cable with cause at the end of the season so that Davis doesn’t have to pay Cable.
↵↵We usually aren’t this perceptive, but there seems to be a trend developing: hire under-qualified coach, wait for him to make off-field mistake, fire him “with cause,” rinse, repeat. I simply don’t understand why the best NFL coaches wouldn’t be interested in going to Oakland.
