Thanks to Jerry MacDonald for posting a transcript of Lane Kiffin’s Monday press conference. Either Kiffin has a future on the pro poker circuit or he is planning on being the Head Coach of the Oakland Raiders next season. His answers about the future were about as direct and straightforward as he has been about anything thus far. From the looks of it, there will be some changes coming. It ...

The Oakland Raiders press conference drinking game
Its the offseason. That time of year where not much is happening in football. Well, teams are cutting their dead weight and other teams are salivating over the sloppy seconds, but here in the Raider nation we need something to pass the time. I propose the Raider Press Conference drinking game. Those of us in the Raider Nation need an excuse to keep in drinking shape for the tailgates this ...

Tampa Bay’s loss could help clear the picture of the Raiders’ defensive coordinator position
The conflicting reports have come out of Oakland, first Rob Ryan is fired then he is not only not fired, but not to speculate about his job. With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ season ending with a loss to the New York Giants, the two most rumored replacements for the fired, not-fired, probably soon to be fired Ryan are available for the Raiders to talk to. The most intriguing candidate is Bucs’...

 Is critical thinking dead when it comes to sports journalists reporting on Rob Ryan, Lane Kiffin, and the Oakland Raiders?
Is critical thinking dead when it comes to sports journalists reporting on Rob Ryan, Lane ...
The Oakland Raiders’ offseason is slightly more than a week old, but it has been a whale of a roller coaster ride. Defensive coordinator Rob Ryan was about to be fired, then he wasn’t fired. Suddenly, the rumors are again flying that Lane Kiffin may not even be the Raiders coach for 2008. The nexus of all the rumors is the memo that came out the other day that said that Rob Ryan has not been ...

 Decline of an Icon: Lane Kiffin Al Davis rumors tarnishing Raiders’ legacy
Decline of an Icon: Lane Kiffin Al Davis rumors tarnishing Raiders’ legacy
Last offseason, I declared in a post that the Raiders had reached Rock Bottom, but with this latest episode, I have come to believe that statement was premature. With the continuous rumors emanating from Alameda regarding Lane Kiffin, Rob Ryan, Al Davis, and about everyone else involved with the Oakland Raiders the team has become the punchline of the NFL. As a lifetime citizen of the Raider ...

 Lane Kiffin is NOT leaving; Rob Ryan is most likely leaving.
Lane Kiffin is NOT leaving; Rob Ryan is most likely leaving.
Peter King made an offhand comment at the end of the Pittsburgh Steeler Jacksonville Jaguar tilt that Lane Kiffin is not a lock to return to the Oakland Raiders next season. This flippant remark has sent shockwaves of panic though the Nation, over nothing more than speculation. It seems that every Raider fan is on edge right now. It seems that the speculation comes from the memo yesterday that ...

 Raiders Coaching Staff: Who should stay and who should go?
Raiders Coaching Staff: Who should stay and who should go?
Before the offseason even began, the coaching staff became a hot topic among the members of the Raider Nation. The reports trickled out defensive coordinator Rob Ryan was fired, then the Raiders’ front office said he wasn’t. This touched off a firestorm (Howie Long would promote his movie of that name here as he did on the Fox Pregame Show) of rumors that Lane Kiffin wasn’t happy and wanted ...

 Blueprint for the Oakland Raiders defensive offseason moves
Blueprint for the Oakland Raiders defensive offseason moves
I would like to start off my opinion piece of the Oakland Raiders defense with what I think of Rob Ryan. Do I think there should be a change in defensive philosophy. Absolutely. Do I think there should be at coordinator? Maybe. Why not? It’s pretty simple, Rob Ryan is NOT running Rob Ryan’s defense. Rob Ryan is running the archaic Al Davis defense. You think Ryan only wants to rush the DL, ...

Raiders break their silence on the Kiffin-Ryan coaching controversy, kind of
Rumor and innuendo have surrounded the Oakland Raiders coaching staff and have festered in the hearts and minds of the Raider nation since the close of the regular season. Rob Ryan has been fired. Ryan has not been fired. Lane Kiffin is not happy and going to quit. Other than a terse memo that said no more than Rob Ryan has not been fired, the Raider organization has been more quiet than a Zen ...

 Anatomy of a run defense: How the Raiders can improve on their dismal 07
Anatomy of a run defense: How the Raiders can improve on their dismal 07
One of the oldest adages in football is that to win a team has to be able to run the ball and stop the run. The Raiders of 2007 ran the ball very well much to the surprise of everyone outside of Alameda ending up with the sixth ranked rushing offense. On the other hand, the Raiders’ defense was turned to road-kill on a weekly basis. Rob Ryan has taken much of the heat for this problem, along ...

 Rob Ryan likely out as Raiders Defensive Coordinator despite press release to the contrary
Rob Ryan likely out as Raiders Defensive Coordinator despite press release to the contrary
Oakland Raiders’ spokesman Mike Taylor has released a statement saying in effect that Rob Ryan has not yet been fired. Nowhere in that statement is anything saying that Ryan will remain the Raiders’ defensive coordinator. This is reminiscent of the Adam Schefter report last season that Art Shell would be fired. The Raiders fired back a press release saying that no decision had been made, and ...

Lane Kiffin Speaks and the Raider Nation breathes a sigh of relief
After months of speculation, many dead trees, and even more bandwidth expended, Oakland Raiders head coach Lane Kiffin spoke to the media on the supposed rift between him and owner Al Davis, the new acquisitions, Rob Ryan, and even Javon Walker’s thoughts on opening the season against Denver. For those keeping track, he even was reportedly sporting a Raider polo shirt. Much like Jerry ...
