If thats the case why would al fire him. The thing is this if you are the head coach and he won’t let you run the team just quit and let him find someone who wants to be your puppets. I like Cable but if he can’t have control this team he doesn’t need to be over it.

I would hope that Cable is as crafty as Gruden but it doesn’t fit his personality. For all of his shortcomings I credit Cable for showing some evolution as a coach and for that I think he still has potential to improve. I know you don’t see him as more than a O-line coach but I think Cable is wise enough to learn from his mistakes AND understand his limitations. My perception is that if he stays, the offense will be called by someone else and that Cable will continue to delegate some of the duties he performed this year.

Remember, John Madden received no respect for his coaching abilities, however, he proved most wrong by showing his intelligence and ability to deal with difficult personalities over the years as a broadcaster. Madden inherited a great team. Cable inherited a mess full of players that have nothing more than their own agenda and don’t feel the hurt of a loss as much as the fans who support them.

It is not fair to compare them but they both fit Davis image of a coach. It takes a rare man to deal with the complex ways of Davis. One has to put their ego aside but remain assertive enough to not let Davis overwhelm their use of the personnel. Madden was brilliant at it. Cable has shown that capacity at least dealing with the press.

The inherent problem is that Madden was dealing with Davis when he was his absolute best in player talent in a league far less complex than today. Cable is dealing with a man who has been living in the past and has failed to acknowlege his shortcomings over the past decade.

Yes, Corcoran says Ryan wants the job, I’m talking bonafide HEAD Coach canidates. NOBODY wants this job ,let’s face it. The ones that do are second tier players that want to slide into the position, and when (not if) $ H i t t goes south they blame it on the organization. There is no doubt in my mind that EVERY move Tom the Cable guy made this season was dictated by Mr. Davis. I’ve watched this team for 43 years now and I can smell the Davis touch in everything that came down. Russell? YES. When Mr. Davis gets a hard on for a player they sit ….period. Yes he signed Russell and it appeared to be his personal pick. He gave him a shot and JA3andout failed so he sat. This is the same owner who signed Javon Walker to a mega contract and sat him (while healthy) at the expense of winning games (like Russell starting) because his off season sugery pissed Al off. We NEEDED experienced receivers all year,we had one, and he sat on the bench while chaz and Miller were hurt. Dubious Hayseed by the Bey or Walker? It’s a no brainer,yet didn’t happen week in and week out because Al had an agenda NOT Cable. Gerard is right cable needs an O coordinator to call the plays like Davis needs a G.M. R.F.F.R.

that’s the way all these underperforming guys are and there isn’t a man out there that wouldn’t be doing the same thing! Why should JA3andout Russell restructure his contract? You and I wouldn’t. If someone were stupid enough to give my 55 year old a $$ a contract for that kind of money and I couldn’t perform I wouldn’t restructure or quit, I’d ride the gravy train like Russell and Cable until it derailed, and then I’d get paid for sitting at home. Russell is what 22 or 23 and a multi- millionaire? why SHOULD he care ?

than you damn sure better nut up and try your balls off for your employer. i know plenty of people who have had help from their parents, some roll with it and succedd, and some dont. you dont have to preach to me about work, anyone on this deal that wants to come do what i do for a day might enjoy life in their office and desk.

All I can say is Davis YOUR WAY IS NOT WORKING LET A COACH TAKE CHARGE AND BUILD A TEAM . GETTING RID OF A COACH AFTER ONE DAMN YEAR ISNT GOING TO HELP THINGS …… SHOULD HAVE KEPT GRUDEN AND BURIED YOUR PRIDE CUZ WE HAD SOMETHING … LET CABLE DO HIS THING …. OH YEAH AND GET RID OF THE BIGGEST BUST IN NFL HISTORY … I THINK WE KNOW WHO IM TALKING ABOUT BUT JUST IF YOU DONT GET RID OF JAMARCUS RUSSEL ASAP
