Raider evacuation?
In January, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis had asked coach Lane Kiffin to resign. That hasn't happened, but it's obvious something ugly is going on between Kiffin and Davis. Kiffin wasn't wearing Raiders clothing at the Senior Bowl or scouting combine.
Davis has been incredibly aggressive in free agency. But all his moves (except the re-signing of running back Justin Fargas and the addition of receiver Javon Walker) have been on defense. It sure looks like Davis is trying to make defensive coordinator Rob Ryan happy while slighting the offensive-minded Kiffin.
This situation's looking like a standoff and logic says standoffs have to come to an end. Then again, Davis is at the center of this, so logic doesn't count.
Al Davis wanted Kiffin to sign a resignation letter. Which if Kiffin would sign, he'd lose out on all the $ he was promised this next year. Kiffin didn't sign it and apparantley plans on showing up to coach, which according to the contract means he still gets paid. This whole situation is ammusing.
