Retain Cable
The Oakland Raiders should retain head coach Tom Cable. The team has not enjoyed a winning season since 2002 under Bill Callahan. If owner Al Davis wants to get his team back on track, there is a need for stability. It is my belief that the players in Oakland want to play for Tom Cable. They certainly put forth their best effort in 2009, beating the Bengals, Steelers, Broncos, and Eagles. Al Davis still has not supplied his head coach with the talent needed to win. Coaches can’t coach teams with minimal talent. There’s only so far they can go. Cable went 5-11 in 2009 with the Raiders, and is 9-18 career. However, he seems to have an important gift: getting his players “up” for games that are more or less meaningless. If he is given another year and some more talent (not including Jamarcus Russell and Darrius Heyward-Bey), there is a strong likelihood Oakland could win eight or nine games. If he is fired and Davis goes for someone like Steve Mariucci, the Raiders will continue down the same path of destruction. It's the difference between winning and losing. KEEP TOM CABLE.
