Posted in Tom Cable is just 3-8 after taking over for Lane Kiffin early in the season for the Raiders, but he’s hoping that the team will think twice before getting him and going back in the market for a new head coach. “I don’t think there’s any question. In order for it to move forward and be a playoff team next year, which I believe it will be, hopefully things will go in the right direction that way,” Cable said. “I think it’s very important at this point.”
The Raiders are coming off an impressive win over the Texans on Sunday, but overall are just 4-11 on the season with one game left Sunday in Tampa Bay vs the Bucs and former coach Jon Gruden. Cable will sit down with owner Al Davis after the matchup on Sunday, and it will be interesting to see if he’ll even be in the running for the coaching spot.
“I mentioned this when the whole opportunity came. This is a dream come true for me,” he said. “I’ve invested a great deal in these last few weeks. My commitment level doesn’t change that way.”
