Hanson sues Raiders' coach and team
ESPN.com reports:
Former Oakland Raiders defensive assistant Randy Hanson, who was allegedly assaulted by coach Tom Cable last August, filed a civil lawsuit against both Cable and the team on Tuesday in Alameda County.
Hanson's lawsuit contains three causes of action -- assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The suit claims the physical altercation with Cable left Hanson with a fractured jaw and broken teeth. The suit also alleges that Cable threatened Hanson by saying repeatedly, "I'll ... kill you."
The Raiders are aware of the lawsuit but would not comment Tuesday. Cable was not criminally charged in the matter.
Hanson returned to work with the Raiders last December, in their personnel department. Cable reportedly has been retained as Oakland's head coach, although the Raiders' have yet to make an official announcement on his future.
Last October, Napa County district attorney Gary Lieberstein said he would not pursue charges against Cable, citing inconsistencies in Hanson's story that were not corroborated by the three assistant coaches in the room at the time.

Hanson is a prick.
Even if it is true he probably deserved it for being a douchebag. Bottom line cable wasn’t charged end of story IMO.

OJ was acquitted of a crime but he still lost millions in a civil case - the burden goes from ~ 95% certainty to 51%
All the coaches had the same story for the D.A. – Hanson fell out of his chair. Well, I recall at least one coach who got replaced and maybe his memory is different now. Maybe not, unless he’s vindictive, b/c that D.A. could come back and hit him with perjury (if he swore to his statement). All that aside, Hanson is suing the Raiders (as well as Cable) so he is persona non grata No. 1.

Hanson also alleged that Al Davis forbade him to coach
http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_14456844?nclick_check=1
The suit also contends that Raiders managing general partner Al Davis informed Hanson on Jan. 28 that he no longer was allowed to coach the Raiders. Severe restrictions also were placed on Hanson, which “conveyed the impression that Hanson was being punished for some kind of malfeasance.”
and I almost assumed this was one of Al's devilish plots
to get rid of Cable…
by Spirals galore on Feb 23, 2010 6:50 PM PST up reply actions
I am thinking that this is more Cable than Davis:
When the players stood up for Cable, I bet you that Al Davis said, “Okay, so youz guyz wanna keep him, I got that, now go out there and win some games for him or I’ll fiah allz of youz”.
To which Jim Otto said, “Yeah”, in a very quiet and unrushed tone that demanded you not only hear, but LISTEN, to the words.

Hanson claims he was sucker punched "blind sided" by Cable

Cable's lack of deceptive capability on the field might weigh in his defense
by Sons-of-Blanda on Feb 24, 2010 6:29 AM PST up reply actions
Haha definitley
And the fact hanson couldn’t get his story straight, also wasn’t the story that cable was sticking up for John Marshall because hanson was being disrespectful, sounds like, if cable did punch him he deserved it anyway. IMO if you are being a asshole and someone punches you in the face you deserve it and should shut the fuck up before you cop another one.

well said.
I think this is the reason there are so many assholes in society these days – there is no negative consequence for being an asshole!

I don’t know if I’ll be happy or not if it gets Cable fired at this point, as fallout, among other real reasons.

“Cable’s attack was not out of character” because he has “several times been accused of violence against women and has a documented public record of such conduct,” according to the suit.
Didn’t know Randy was a woman.

this is what we call FUD.

Hanson recalling his first ever face-to-face meeting with Al Davis
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ms-hansonspeaks101009&prov=yhoo&type=lgns
"We met for more than two-and-a-half hours," Hanson recalled. "At the start of the meeting, he said, ‘I know you’re a hard worker and you love the Raiders, but I don’t know what you do that helps this football team. I do not know if you can coach or not.’ By the end he had given me a raise and told me he wanted me to stay on as ‘assistant coach-defense.’ My role would be to teach the new defensive coaches what we did on defense last year so they’ll know some of the things I like. He also said he wanted to groom me on the personnel side. He said he wanted me to play an important role in the future of the organization."
The article is old and long but worth reading for anyone who has the time.
not sure what "assistant coach-defense" is
and how it entails Hanson teaching the new defensive coaches what the Raiders did last year so that they know what Hanson likes. Not sure this is what Al’s words were. The way Hanson talks about himself cracks me up.

Ha
If anyone thinks Al Davis is anywhere near at the top of his game, they seriously need to check into a mental health facility.

To me it sounds like he thought he was untouchable
And thought he was “Al’s boy” well seems you were wrong and good luck finding another job in the NFL as I would be extremely surprised if anyone would have him after this stunt which is probably why he is trying to get whatever he can
