Kiffin to be fired?

Nancy Gay of the San Fransisco Chronicle is reporting that Lane Kiffin is to be fired sometime this week. Despite leading the Raiders to a 23-8 victory over a division rival, on the road no less and at a stadium your not supposed to win in. Kiffin's fate is said to be sealed for his defiant tirade last Wednesday. When Kiffin told the media that the 41-14 Monday night meltdown against the Broncos happened in large part because defensive coordinator Rob Ryan and the team's owner conspire to exclude him from defensive decisions. The Raiders are 1-1 in a 17 week season and Al is ready to fire the head coach.

For the Raiders sake, I hope Nancy is wrong.
