 Oakland Raiders
The source has spoken again, and he/she/it in the wee hours of Wednesday night has apparently informed that CNN of the sports world, ESPN.com, that Tom Cable will in fact be the head coach of the 2009 Oakland Raiders. Perhaps fearing his time in the media spotlight is drawing to a close or perhaps merely acting out of reflex, Raiders senior...
What's the buzz about?

If Cable doesn't like them then he can fire the guys that Al Davis brings in.

Hackett 90-54 all time as Offensive Coordinator, yea the guys got skills. On the other hand, if Joe Montana wanted to coach, I'm thinking he would be invited to about 32 training camps.
