Reports say that the Raiders are expected to fire head coach Tom Cable on Monday, and considering his record is just 9-19 as their head coach, it's probably just a matter of time. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, tonight's meeting was just for owner AL Davis "to discuss all the reasons he'll get fired." Cable will apparently fight for his job, arguing that "the team's improvement after Russell's midseason benching as proof that he deserves another year to get the Raiders back to the playoffs." (Don't laugh.)
Tom Cable Expected To Be Fired As Head Coach Of Raiders
SB Nation’s Raiders blog, Silver And Black Pride, writes that if (when?) Cable is officially let go, he has no one to blame but himself.
When he was pressed about the offensive line he said that he had the guys he wanted and that they didn’t need to upgrade.
Boy, was he wrong!!!
Cable also crowned himself a great play caller and showed all season that he was outmatched. Too many times Gradkowski, McFadden and Frye have been responsible for making calls that got the team into the end zone. NOT Tom.
The one thing that Tom Cable did do well was keep the team together and believing in the Raiders. But, to me, that just isn’t enough. When you lead the League in penalties, can’t win back to back games, and pass the ball 485 times and only run it 410 times on a team that should be a run first offense, he can’t be trusted to call the plays again.
