Get used to it, Al Davis will always be behind you

Look at this picture, no matter who it in the first seat, Al Davis will always be right behind them causing havoc, and I'm sick of it. Who does he think he is? The owner! That is it, not the coach the owner He hired a head coach to be well the Head Coach. Not his water boy.

If he wants to be head coach at what is he 100 let him, save all the good head coaches like Lane Kiffin for somewhere better and let Raider Nation, cheer on Al Davis or Boo Al Davis. Warren Sapp did an interview with "Inside the NFL" on Showtime recently, and he told us exactly what we basically expected here is some of the comments:

" Al Davis knows football, but 60s or 70s football, you can't throw the ball deep every time, it doesn'y work that way, times have changed, he thinks Puckett or someone it back there and they can lob it up and score every time. And the head coach will work in practice with us for a long time on one play and when we are going to do it in a game, Davis calls down to the field and sends a messenger to the head coach and tells him to run that play.And he has to do it or basically he will get cut loose."

He went on to say " We worked on a specific play on defense to stop the run one week, and here comes Rob Ryan with a message from the "Owner" Al Davis saying we have to do something else we have not practiced, no wonder we did so bad"

He was asked if he thought Lane Kiffin was unfairly fired, and he said "yes, 100%" and I agree. He also let Mike Shanahan go for not listening to him, Kiffin stood up to Davis, and of course he didn't like it, so he let him go. He offered him the opportunity to listen to him and run his plays, but Lane said No, we will run what we practice, and that put a fire up in Davis.

Kiffin is a good head coach with a young, inexperienced team, whose players liked and respected him for the most part, other than a choice few. Look a the teams that are winning, the Titans, the Pats, and others. They win because management stays out of the way, even through struggle.

This was not a case of a good owner with a bad coach, it was a case of a good coach with a bad owner. I mean you stayed out of John Madden's hair, why not Kiffen's. He could have been great for you Al, and now looking at this team, it looks as if you will not get to the promise land any time soon.

Maybe you should add this to the most memorable Raider history, the day the franchise died. And who is to blame? None other than Mr. Raider himself Al Davis.

What do you think, should Al Davis just stay out of the way and let the players, be players, coaches be coaches, or do like he has been doing?
