Oakland Raiders a damaged franchise

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
The Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis is prepared to fire another coach whenever he can withhold a decent amount of Lane Kiffin's monies from him.  The Raiders have always had a commitment to winning at all costs. Al Davis form of winning apparently has nothing to do with what's going on, on the field of play.  He wants to beat out the NFL, Lane Kiffin who he thought would be his on field savior, the city of Oakland, officials and media who are "against" him.  He has the most power over the team and he likes having the control even if it wrecks a whole football season.  Over the last five-plus seasons, Oakland is a league-worst 20-62.
    I totally agree with this article, seeing as I have been a fan of the team for over twenty years I have see all of this unfold.  Al Davis (79 years old) is a power hungry tyrant of an owner (doesn't even have a GM).  He has fired countless coaches and personnel in hopes of winning right away.  Not many coaches are going to come right in and win with that they are left with, especially with the Raiders.  Everything stems from Al Davis because he puts so much pressure on these coaches to win right away it has to be hurtful to their mentality and job security (has to be a little scary).  I don't believe that the Raiders will be a successful franchise until Al decides to give up the power of the team to someone....anyone else! Pick me Al my hands raised!
