Raiders to can Cable
The Oakland Raiders have declined the option on head coach Tom Cable, ending his time with the team.
Cable guided the Raiders to an 8-8 record, which is their first non-losing season in several years.
His firing is somewhat of a surprise given the fact that the players really seemed to buy into him.
He also seemed to significantly improve the Raiders, who suddenly look like a promising young team.
It will be interesting to see what direction Al Davis goes in, as many prime candidates will want to avoid working for him.
