Old School

So I thought things were going well. I thought things were looking up. Al Davis is a senile old bastard with no clue what is going on. He spends 95 million dollars on a shitty QB, essentially handcuffing the team to a bedpost for 5 years. We finally get rid of JaMarcus and have a very respectable season under the watch of the new coach, Tom Cable. We go undefeated in the AFC West, which isn't saying much, but it's 6 games we would have lost 2 years ago. And boom he fires the coach, like it's the coaches fault that Bruce Gradkowski and Jason "I suck" Campbell are the QB's that we have to trot out there. And way to go on Darius Hayward bay instead of Crabtree or Maclin. That worked out well.

Don't get me wrong, Tom Cable is an asshole, he punched his assitant coach in the face breaking his nose in two spots less than 12 months ago. If Al wanted to fire Tom he should have done it then. Now, who does he think he is going to get that will replace Tom AND let Al make all the big decisions? None of the big name coaches are going to come to Oakland to be Al's puppet.

I am anxious to see what we do in this years draft, considering we don't have a first round pick as Bill Simmons has pointed out several times in his articles, that it belongs to New England.

I would think getting the 17th pick in a draft would not warrant firing the head coach. Perhaps firing the GM would make sense considering the awful decisions that have been made over the past decade, but big Al would never fire big Al. I mean he won superbowls in the 60's.......

Christ....

So this isn't a picture I took, but it is a picture fitting for this post. Look at the guy! Why do I punish myself
