Current Oakland Raiders Coach, Tom Cable meets with Emperor Palpatine, I mean, Al Davis Today

As a former Raider fan, no I don't have tattoos or a prison record, I can attest to the consistent failure the team has been over the last eight years. So, today second year head coach, Tom Cable will learn his fate after a 5-11 season. Rumors abound that Cable will get the ax but I say at this point does it really matter who the coach is as long as Davis continues to own the team and micro-manage it.

Since losing the Super Bowl in 2002 (to former Raider coach, Jon Gruden and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, no less) He's hired and fired, Bill Callahan (totally overmatched and out coached, won with Gruden's players and system), (Norv Turner (now coaching a very hot playoff team in the San Diego Chargers), Art Shell (dragged him out of retirement and paired him with an offensive coordinator that was also brought in out of retirement from running a bed & breakfast at the time of his hire)and infamously fired Lane Kiffin after showing a glimmer of hope but butting heads with Davis.

Now if it's not Cable then what other sucker will want to work with an over-bearing, second-guessing, and meddlesome owner? You know what they say about suckers...
