OT: Raiders get new coach
Gee, I didn't see this coming. Does it fall to Ryan now?

Love this quote from the story:
"The last time a coach had been fired this early in the season was when Davis got rid of Mike Shanahan after four games in 1989."

I think the job goes to Ryan. He seems to be Al Davis' little toadie these days.

If that. Al Davis is borderline senile these days, if in fact he isn't already.

Job went to the Offensive Line Coach. Tom Cable is the new head coach.

Sarcasm is a foreign language to you, isn't it? (IOW, yeah, he was kidding.)

I don't think so, personally. The key was his use of the word "Gee". Grown men rarely talk like that, so it had to be significant. It was subtle, but effective. I didn't take his comment seriously for even a moment.
