Lance Kiffin is Looking Like a Genius in Hindsight

but F&%K YOU! Al Davis is the father if the Raiders and there wouldn’t be a Raider organisation if it wasn’t for Mr Davis so basically if you hate Al you hate everything the Raider organisation stands for so go and support the never won shit Dead Batteries.

the recent past of Bitchass Kiffin proves Al right in every sense. Kiffin can say what ever he wants and people will believe him because Al will not respond cos he is above that.

We have been to an AFC title game every decade since the 70’s and took us to a conference championship in 2003 which in my opinion makes us more successful in the 2000’s than every single team that didn’t win shit and didnt go to the superbowl.

Shame on you, Al. Where’s the tact? Coming into a Raider forum and posting such a thing out of the blue after Kiffin has been gone for awhile now and bounced from team since then. You could have (and should have) started off by pointing out that criticism of Davis for bad decisions like JaMarcus (and probably Bey) are not the equivalent of “Al Hate”. If you’re going to go through the trouble of making this kind of post, you ought to have listed the positives and negatives of both people.

I’d actually heard it suggested that Kiffin really wanted Calvin Johnson, but since we’ve had Randy Moss on the team and there was nobody to throw it to him, it probably wouldn’t have mattered anyway.

However Kiffin is not a genius and also was kind of a weasal as well. Al was definitely wrong about hiring him and Cable after him. Al never wanted to hire someone who would overshadow him which is why he allowed Gruden to walk for a few draft picks. There was always a sense of jealousy I felt since he always commented on the players and never the job Gruden was doing. It was like he was short-changing the culture change that Gruden created and didn’t like that he was getting so much credit in the media for it. Hence why he undermined the coaching staff changes and fired Willie Shaw just because he wanted to run cover 2 instead of pure man to man and also why he pretty much ran him out of town because he wanted to use more vertical passing plays. This was after the team was setting total points scored records with Gruden’s medium range passing style. I am with signcut and spirals in believing one can question the owner and his many faults and still be a fan. I’ve loved the Raiders since I can remember any about sports and still will long after Al is gone. If you think otherwise than that’s just ignorant.

But Im a sucker for an opportunity to bash Al Davis.
After several people (sarkisian etc) thumbed their noses at the job Kiffin was hired.
One of (if not the )reason he got the job was becuase of his college evaluation skills.

Kiffin begged Al not to draft Jamarcus. Al didnt listen (sound familiar). Kiffin wanted to trade out of the number 1 when Al said no he tried to sell him on Calvin J.

blah blah blah…….I could go on and on “piling on top” of him. But why bother? He owns the team and will run it his way (unfortunately).

is GREAT for the NFL i used to hate him but now i look at he plob wouild be the only guy willing to let me suoct coach what i like about him he gives peopie a shot no matter if they disbaled nomal he does not have lables u have to resept the man for doing it his way

If Kiffin is really a genius, then we’ll be seeing him taking a team to the National Championship..instead of the Tennessee-like shenanigans we have seen.

But getting the job is one thing. He’s good at getting jobs. Now let’s see him not f**k it up this time like he has every other one.

I still like Kiffin. He’s a smart guy and a smart coach. He’ll do good things in USC and I wish he was still our coach. But, you can’t dwell on the past. Tom is our coach now, and I’m putting my trust in him to take this team back to greatness.

As for the Al Davis thing..It’s clear he lost his mind after the Gruden trade..I think this year is different ’cause he actually gave up control..
