I imagine this note went out to quite a few fan sites today, but I’m going to post it here just in case.
This is definitely some conspiracy theory propaganda, but I do see some possible underlying truths in it. There’s no doubt that Al is the black sheep owner of the NFL, and that ESPN [...]

Two of the Raiders’ top players, and arguably the best in the NFL at their respective positions, are up for free agency in 2009. The Raiders’ All-Pro cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, and All-Pro punter Shane Lechler are not likely to both be starting the 2009 season with the Oakland Raiders. One of them will almost inevitabley [...]

Raiders’ RB Justin Fargas reportedly has a cameo in an online video where the focus is a Marijuana “Smoke-A-Thon”. The video shows Bay Area rapper Yukmouth stopping by Fargas’ home with a sack of weed and a huge joint. Fargas and Yukmouth chat for a few moments and then the shoot moves to a new [...]

The Raiders’ search for a head coach officially ended yesterday when Al Davis and Tom Cable agreed to a contract that would remove his interim tag, and make him head coach of the Oakland Raiders.

For the past couple of weeks it has seemed all but certain that Tom Cable will lead the Raiders as head coach beginning with the 2009 season. Cable is expected to have the interim tag removed from his job title as early as today, or possibly Wednesday.

At least that’s what ESPN and other league sources are saying. The media reported on Wednesday that Al Davis is planning on removing the interim tag from head coach Tom Cable’s job description. Raiders’ senior executive John Herrera denied the imminent hiring of cable and told reporters that “no decision has been made yet”. Cable’s [...]

Although the Raiders have been dragging their feet a bit in the pursuit of a new head coach, interim head coach Tom Cable looks to be the guy. Unfortunately though for Cable, Al Davis’ reluctance to move forward with the promotion isn’t going to help his confidence any.
Cable should be a shoe-in for head coach [...]

Al Davis promoted assistant coach John Fassel to special teams coordinator this past Saturday. Fassel, who joined the Raiders organization 2 years ago, is the son of former Giants head coach Jim Fassel. Jim is also a candidate for the Raiders’ vacant head coaching position.
Along with Brian Schneider who left to join Pete Carroll in [...]

The Raiders’ linebackers coach Don Martindale was interviewed yesterday for the vacant defensive coordinator position. According to ESPN.com and the Contra Costa Times, the five hour interview must have impressed managing general partner Al Davis, because he has decided to add Martindale to the list of prospects for the head coaching position.
Prior to interviewing Martindale [...]

Probably not, but one can dream. With the recent firing of Jon Gruden by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it does add an interesting possibility to the Raiders’ search for someone to fill their vacant head coaching slot. After all, Al Davis is well aware that the most success he’s had in the past two decades [...]
