Raiders cut Cable loose

Cable out as Raiders coach after team declines option

 

The Raiders informed Tom Cable on Tuesday night that they will not pick up the option in his contract, the team announced.

 

"Coach Cable was informed the club would not be exercising its option for the 2011 season, and that he's free to seek employment elsewhere," his agent, Don Yee, said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "Teams already have shown interest in Tom."

 

Offensive coordinator Hue Jackson will take over as the new head coach, a source close to Jackson told the San Francisco Chronicle. Earlier Tuesday, the 49ers asked for permission to interview Jackson for their head coaching vacancy.........

I'd go with decent. They seemed to be improving.

Only team with a front office worse than the Bengals.

Swept the division, one game away from the playoffs... I would say they came along way from last season.

So no Cable in Oakland. Will this affect their blackouts?

If we compare the two franchises during the Mike Brown era, what are team records in that time span. I already know which team has had more playoff success in the time span. I am certainly not an Al Davis advocate, but what makes Oakland worse than Cincinnati?

I bet they notified him over the phone in fear of someone getting their jaw broken after telling him the news.

OK. Then without any facts, other than Oakland has been more successful than Cincinnati in the playoffs during the Mike Brown era, I will posture that Oakland is not a worse franchise than Cincinnati.

I would like to see the records that is for sure. How many deep playoff runs did Oakland have?

I know they went to the superbowl in like 03 and they had the game where they got screwed against the Pats in the AFC title game in the snow.

I would agree with that. Cincinnati is a worse franchise than Oakland...

During the Mike Brown era ('91-present) it's 5 playoff appearances to 2. The Raiders also have 5 playoff victories to zero.

During the same span the Raiders are 140-180-0 and the Bengals are 115-204-1; an average of 1.25 more wins each year.
