Tom Cable likely out as Raiders Head Coach

Tom Cable is unlikely to return as the Oakland Raiders' head coach in 2011, league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
The Raiders finished 8-8 this season despite being undefeated in the AFC West. It was their first unblemished mark in the division since 1976, but Cable has fluctuated between starting quarterbacks and Oakland has lost four of six since a three-game winning streak put them on the cusp of the playoff picture in Week 10.
The Raiders are the first team since the 1970 merger to go unbeaten in the division and not make the playoffs.
Cable took over as the interim coach for Lane Kiffin midway through the 2008 season and was given the permanent job in Feb. 2009.
Oakland has had five coaches since 2003. ESPN

I agree. He seems to be doing pretty solid work there. He at least deserves another year IMHO.

How do you go undefeated in your division and not make the playoffs?

WOW, not only this year but the back end of last he had the Raiders playing and playing hard....this team has been snake bit if you ask me (this year) some VERY VERY close losses.
Off the top of my head a loss in OT to Jacksonville and a missed FG early in the season at Arizona that hurt them.

Just when the team starts playing well for a coach, they axe him. Dumb move, IMO.

Id give him another year.... not to mention someones jaw is getting fricking hammered if he's fired.
