Can the NFL fire an owner?

[FargoBison]

Seriously how stupid can Al Davis be? The Raiders finally show some glimmers of hope and he is going to fire another 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.

If the Minnesota Vikings had not jumped ship to the NFL at the last minute, Al Davis and the Raiders might never have been.

What a joke. The old man desperately wants a Super Bowl before he dies, and he is the reason it has 0% chance of happening

The only owner that makes Dan Snyder seem like a good one.

Al Davis has been dead for five years. At least, that's my going theory.

It's official Cable is done, Al Davis and his reign of terror continues. Feel bad for my dad and brother, both lifelong Raider fans and they have no hope until Davis kicks the bucket.

Fisher is one of the most overrated coaches in the NFL. In 17 years (16 full years) he has 6...yep a whopping SIX...winning seasons.

6 seasons with an over .500 record
5 seasons of a .500 record
5 seasons below .500
His interim season was 1-5
4 division titles in 16 full seasons
a sub .500 playoff record of 5-6. 3 of his playoff wins came in one season


He is/was saved by the fact that Bud Adams is/was extremely loyal to him

[SuperHornet]

The best choice would be to promote the Special Teams Coordinator to HC.
