		<description>Jerry your unnamed source is incorrect. Kiffin chose to hire or not hire. My source comes in right under Trask and I received a phone call unlike you telling me all I needed to know. Kiffin and Davis are cool. Kiffin chose to hire Lofton. Kiffin does have a say. And you need to become a better writer. State facts not speculation. You and Tim Kawakami must have come from the same writing school...&quot;THe school of speculation and unidentified sources.&quot; Get a clue and bring something of substance to the table instead of spreading negative rumors to make yourself sound like someone informed. All your showing is your a good story teller.  I cant remember the last time you had news that was accurate before it was known.</description>

		<description>all of you against Al are pussies. I want you guys to not come out to games. I&#039;m glad this is happening we know who is real and who is fake. You guys weren&#039;t down for the Raiders to begin with.</description>

		<description>Al is micromanaging (nothing new)... and Kiffin is in WAY over his head!

Every time Al hires a new HC, we (team and fans) feel like we are taking one step forward. But, as soon as something goes wrong, he wants to get rid of them, sending us two steps back...

This would be our fourth season with a new HC?
NO!!!! C&#039;mon Al, as much as I like you, this needs to stop!

I can honestly see why other NFL fans laugh at the organization and us Raider fans - no matter what, RAIDER NATION BABY!!!

REALITY: we all know this will continue to happen until Al retires... OR he comes across a coach who will finally stand his ground/dig his heels in, face the challenges, media scrutiny, players attitudes, win more games than not, all the while earning respect from Al Davis. Will Kiffin be the man??? Maybe… someone has to!

Al may have seen Lane as young and completely inexperienced in the NFL. Al thought he would give Lane enough power for him to &quot;think&quot; he was in control. But, when push came to shove, Al quickly stepped in and pushed him aside to remind him he is ONLY the &quot;HEAD COACH&quot;!!!! ouch
At this point, Lane’s options elsewhere are probably ZERO. He will more than likely stay and make the most of it. Hopefully, in making the most of it, he will continue to lead the organization on its path to those glory days of seasons past! I would like Kiffin to stay - I honestly believe the biggest improvement will be between season 1 and 2

Like I said, I do like Al Davis ~  he is a wise man who made the Raiders (and NFL) the icons they are today. You gotta respect him for that!</description>

		<description>This is an earlier post before the TRUTH came out AGAIN! Please enjoy, I like to go back and see who jumps ship so easily. Easy to tell who the trues are, or are NOT.

I’m surprised some of you in the Bay Area haven’t started picketing for Al’s resignation at the Alameda HQ.

Crazy Old Al needs to go!</description>
