Coaching in the NFL is one of the hardest professions out there.  You get criticized every week, win or lose.  You typically don't last but a few years in the same job and in most cases, you get fired.  I listened to ESPN today talk about the Lane Kiffin firing.  Funny part is, it's going to turn into a legal battle now since the Raiders "reportedly" aren't going to 'honor' his contract and they won't pay him any further.  Regardless what comes out in the wash (was Kiffin challenging authority, did he say things and do things wrong to deserve to be fired in the way he did), it will ultimately show that the NFL head coach is one of the suckiest jobs out there.  When it's good, it's great.  When it's bad, you have unions, courts, and owners involved in a bunch of BS.  I would love the opportunity to coach in the NFL one day, but this shit just sucks when you hear how messy it's gonna be. 

Side note, Kiffin's wife is expecting a child in January.  Her biggest concern was where is she going to have the baby.  Will she be in Oakland or somewhere else... Well, I guess she knows the answer now.

I've listened to both sides and their press conferences and all I can say is the Raiders are all fucked up.  Al Davis is out of his mind.  He posted a letter that was supposidly written to him by Kiffen in a news conference?  Wow, this is bad.  I mean first, it's just unprofessional and second, after listening to Kiffin's response to the Raider news conference, it's just down right wrong.  You don't need to hold a conference and show that type of stuff.  What ever happened to 'what stays in the family is in the family'?  I think tomorrow I'm going to hold a news conference about how my family is all fucked up so I can show everybody how much they have wronged me.  Give me a break.  GET OVER YOURSELVES RAIDERS.  YOU SUCK.  STOP BLAMING KIFFIN.

Honestly, I think Kiffin is a good guy.  He's the son of Tampa Bay Buc's Defensive Coordinator, Monte Kiffin.  Knowing the Bucs like I do, I've followed Monte for awhile and I don't see him raising a kid that's so 'anti-management' that he does things to harm the organization.  I think if Al Davis polled the players (hey, create a blog with a poll) that he would find that he's the problem with the Raiders, not Kiffin.

And to poor ol Cable, the new Head Coach, sorry dude.  You got a LONG uphill battle to fight.  Name one coach, other than John Gruden (and Callahan, but he took over Chucky's team) that has had success with the Raiders in the last 15 years?  You can't.  Cuz the organization is run by a man out of his nogen.

I saw an advertisement on nfl.com the other day related to a Cleveland Browns History DVD.  I hope those Cleveland fans out there get it.  maybe they can put it on every Sunday at 1PM or 4PM and miss their team's game.  Because they too suck.
