Al Davis Fires Lane Kiffin (Part 2 of 5)

[lolololol4796]

jamrcus russel fucking sucks

[SlothGamer60]

JaBust Russell.

[MEGABIGDAWGS]

WIN LOSE OR TIE... A RAIDER TILL YOU DIE !!! Al Davis hired some of the greatest coaches in the game. Too bad he went to war with them and they won Super Bowels for other teams ... Shanahan and Gruden.

Worse ..Gruden was terminated after going to three Champion ship games, as a condition of him leaving the Raiders he was disallowed bringing any coaches, so when Tampa met the Raiders it was Guden's team, players coaches and PLAY BOOK. Dysfunctional or not we all

miss Al .. Raider for life !!!

[donnie830017]

PURPLE DRANK!!!!

[menard98]

hold on, so he told you to not draft the biggest bust in history! he deserved a promotion not a pink slip

[TheKingRowdy]

Al Davis is the MAN.

[2taggs2]

Al was a great owner - this certainly is not what great owners do, though. I blame age for his last few years of acting in this peculiar manner. Without question a great innovator for the game of football.

[videosensei]

Jamarcus was projected by most to go no 1.

[aepps22]

RIP

[camplo195]

JaMarcus Bubbles

[melonsushipan]

lol he is a great athele

[JackBauer270]

I think this is one of the few times the words JaMarcus and great player ever collided in the same sentence.

[ManBearPig2384]

Jamaccus is a great player.... Get Over It! LOLOLOL

[RyanJ504]

Lane may be a prick, but you have to admit he was right about the move to draft Jamarcus Russell

[darthlobos1182]

"JaMarcus Russell is a great player" Oops...

[DrunkenRaiderz]

And they still can't win with this weak azz team LMAO!!!!!!!!!! Lane kiffin was right motherfucker!!!! We should've NEVERRRR drafted Jamarcus xD

[TheNikkonish]

LMAO he's explicating his letter like a literature professor.

[RAIDERS7009]

Jamarcus costs the RAIDERS two seasons.. he was garbage !

[sammy1995]

jamarcus could of been a great player-if he had an Iq greater than 50. the dude was a borderline retard. rumors he couldn't read or write. he didn't understand a play book.

[DPA1288]

Nobody from the Raiders wanted  to draft JaMarcus Russell.

[MattsKickz89]

this is the greatest press conference ever

i give alot of credit to al davis for coming out and telling everything rather then hiding behind unamed sources

[SupportAZ]

Lane Kiffin didn't want to draft Jamarcus Russell. Well then REHIRE Lane Kiffin! It's tough for any coach to win games when the owner INSISTS that JaMarcus Russell is this "great player". Now we know who was right and who was an idiot.

[D06DD]

@SupportAZ might have been a bad draft pick put all Russell needed was some proper nfl leadership lane kiffin didnt want to step up...

people who owns this team? who makes the rules for this team? until u own your on team dont speak on this decision.

Packer fan 45-7 beat dallas ass..

whats Jerry gonna do?

[BladeJones]

@D06DD So JaMarcus Russel was always a great player and it's the coaches fault that he was the biggest draft bust in NFL history?????????? Yeah. OK.

[zazozung]

Al Davis admitted he wanted JaMarcus. I bet he regrets that now.

[Hazikify]

why wont this guy die so my raiders can win!

[mike559able]

Lane Kiffin was Right About J russel,in Al YUh Should let lane kiffin cut CJ He Suhkz Dick,

[2taggs2]

He just proved that Kiffin was right when he battled (and lost) and told Davis NOT to take JaMarcus. You were wrong there, Al.

Don't get me wrong: I think Kiffin is a smug, arrogant, disloyal booger.

[sqskyline]

Regardless Al knows what hes talkin about. I remember the 2 timeouts the 75 yard field goal.

[16ktsgamma]

"He is a Great player" Say that now Al Davis.

[Crabman2186]

@16ktsgamma Mel Kipper said when J.Russel was drafted that you can be looking at the Top 3 QB in the NFL

[mannyphresh1]

"He's a GREAT PLAYER"....LMFAO!!!!

He didn't want to draft him bc he is garbage....and SAVE YOU FROM BEING ROBBED!!!

What happened, y let Russell go for nothing, if he is so "GREAT"?

...AL, sell the fucking team already.

[jwill5587]

Everything he said made sense until he got to the Jamarcus Russell part. That part alone makes me question his sanity lol

[49ersFury]

:34 Second mark in this clip...Epic Failure.

[ozoid455]

i dont care what he says about that offense! that defense is still horrible!! has been shitty since 2002!! poor drafts and free agents!! just a big pile up of dino turds!!

[ahazardutk]

As a UT alum, I wanted to support Lane just as much as anyone or more in Vol Nation. I wanted to believe Al Davis was a crazy senile old man. After one year building a little momentum then the bomb he dropped on us, I have to admit Al was right. Lanes comment that we are in better shape then when he got there is a bald face lie! If he truly believes that he is the most narcissistic self-centered son of a bitch that has ever had the privilege of donning the orange and white!.

Vols, Bitch!

[Mrfranchizer]

what is Davis talking about here??!! It sounds like a lot of "he said, she said"

[medcsu]

One thing is for sure, Kiffin was 100 percent right on Russell.

[2tonchevy]

cant believe Lane dipped on us VOLs man! Al was right, bad as i hate to say it, i liked Lane's coaching style. we lost some close games this year to some great SEC teams. oh well. im a VOL for life and ol smokey will bring th etitle home to Rocky Top again one day!

[jhall025]

Al Davis, as a student/die hard fan of the University of Tennessee, thank you for giving us our coach, who in his first season not only got us more wins than the Raiders this year, but was dead on about JaMarcus "Great Player" Leaf, I mean Russell

[jhall025]

yup im completely shocked

[JBHutto]

Uh oh

[KriegerDesHasses]

@jhall025

Owned.

[BROOKLYNBASE]

HAHA

[34moss]

@jhall025 look now traitor al davis was right all long!

[jhall025]

@34moss I completely agree, I take back everything I said about Al Davis in the last 14 months. But I never accused him of being a traitor

[34moss]

@jhall025 im calling lane kiffin a traitor

al davis is as loyal as they come

[Trevguy00]

@jhall025 HAHAHA your comment couldn't have been more epic..

[ozoid455]

what are you? a drunk backwoods okie! TENNESSE is a College and THE RAIDERS are a PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL ORGANIZATION! i aint defending BULLWINKLE RUSSELL, but....

its shitty draft after shitlly draft!! ten years adds up pretty quick!!

[sabian1hhx1only]

lol professional football organization the raiders really? cause you guys don't play like one.

[weedfu]

jamarcuss a great athlete ?? hahahhahaha  thats why he skipped meeting to go to vegas right ??.....and IM a raider fan ......Bruce Gradkowski all the way

[34moss]

jamarcus russel is a great athlete just cause ur a great athlete doesnt mean u will be a succesful pro look at charles rogers

[ozoid455]

charles rogers? for detriot? are you stupid! who have the raiders drafted at wide receiver in the first round? HEYWARD BEY? that cat couldnt even catch a fuckin ball!!

[34moss]

@ozoid455 charles rogers was rediculously talented but failed to perform. He is the best wide receiver in Michigan States history. AS for heyward bey the guy has world class speed but he is one dimensional

[ozoid455]

you know what iam thinking of the georgia tech receiver calvin johnson for some reason you right. they drafted so many wr's in the first round i got them all mixed up. mike williams,roy williams,charles rogers, etc. etc.

[Crabman2186]

@34moss He proformed injuries stoped him from being good. And his drug use weaken him bad big time

[ozoid455]

what kind of raider fan are you? your probably the same type of idiot that wanted to drop GANNON for KERRY COLLINS! and then wanted ARON BROOKS to start and then wanted TUI to start and then you wanted MCKOWN to start, and then you wanted RUSSELL to start and now you want GRADKOWSKI to start!! go watch football for once without being drunk and yelling that moronic pharse RAAAAIDDDERS before you pass out before kick off!!!

[BigPrimo33]

I love Al but man HIRE A FUCKING GM PLEASE, You have lost all touch with today's football!!!

[BladeJones]

:40 to 1:10 that's all you need to hear to understand that Al Davis is a FAILURE! Donald Trump would have fired him over JaMarcus Russell.

[deltapunk21]

Donald trump is a bubble economy hack and faggot imbecile who has a daddy trust fund and gambles away fortunes on real estate specualtion.....he is an idiot and well cushioned. He ain't business or a capitalist he is a junkie for assholianism.....his credit expanionist addiction and hatred for sound economies read austrian economics. makes him a liar and a fool he consider the nasdaq implosion a good economy...fuck him and his hair and you

[zazozung]

@deltapunk21 Comb over from hell.

[TheGerman31]

Doesn't Al Davis think a coach should have some input about who to draft? He's a fucking idiot

[BladeJones]

How ironic that Al Davis pays JaMarcBust Russell $61 million but refuses to pay Kiffin! Kiffin didn't want to draft JaMarcBust. Davis loved him. Now in his 3rd season Russell is the WORST quarterback in the league who was BENCHED because he was INEFFECTIVE against the lowly Chiefs. Al Davis is still the problem. Not Lane Kiffin.

[scott71785]

@BladeJones Really... just curious how you think about Lane Kiffin now.... Now that he's done some of the same crap at USC.

Al Davis was completely in the right, in firing Kiffin. Kiffin was a turd... an immature TURD. Since getting rid of him, this team has made STRIDES. You CANNOT deny that.

[BladeJones]

@scott71785 The USC football program was already going down hill before he came in. Pete Carol saw the writing on the wall and left. Players saw the Reggie Bush scandal and Pete Carol leaving and so they passed on going to USC. At Oakland Kiffin was handicapped by AL Davis' major draft blunder.

[KL209]

@BladeJones WHICH WAS LANE KIFFINS FAULT BECAUSE HE GAVE RUSSELL ALL THE WRONG PLAYS!! HELLLOOOO! ITS ALWAYS A HEAD COACHS FAULT U DOUCHE

[SrM90]

0:34 to 0:45 Irony! LOL

Maybe you should've listened to Lane eh? Now with his ego he won't allow Jamarcus to be benched because that would mean he was flat out wrong wouldn't it?

[bb6f44]

LMFAO XD

[Mrwirez]

Davis is a nut. Jamarcus Russell Stinks...lol

[joshpcolts18]

He just made lane sounds like a genius "he said we shouldnt draft jamarcus russell"

[BladeRunner2681]

Beyond the Wall?? WTF!! Crazy ass old codger!!

[ethurst2]

At least Al Davis is doing something that no other owner does and that's clearing the air. Seems like he was right the way that Kiffin is handling things at Tennessee.

[KingfishATCG]

I agree. I live in the south, follow SEC football, and Lane Kiffin is a douche. Just listen to his comments about Florida before AND after the early season loss.

[CairoRipper]

Al Davis is what every owner should be! Hail Al Davis!

[clotalo]

warren sapp is only good for one thing nowadays, RUNNING HIS MOUTH!!

[Bigdebo72]

old senile cray fuck. My god give it up you old carcas. Listen to him, you can't defend it. He had his time, he was great in his day, but he is BRUTAL now.

[Shaggysworld]

youre a raider fan so you probobally dont know who any of them are and are in your own little world so i could care less about your opinoin

[ramundson65]

JaMarcus Russell a great player? that's the funniest thing i heard all day.... maybe if he was playing high school football

[toadsniffing]

He is a good player, he's just stuck in the black hole.

[Sierra688]

Al, it doesn't matter what fuckin defense you call if you don't have players. The scheme doesn't mean shit. Stop drafting stiffs and hire a decent football guy. Maybe someone like, I don't know, Mike Shanahan...

[503raider1986]

The Raiders did hire Mike Shanahan, he wanted to fire Art Shell so Mr. Davis stayed loyal to his LT and gave Mike the boot and Shell the HC job.

[insaying]

I'm a Charger fan but I have mad respect for an owner to do this type of thing and hold a conference like this. this is so awesome one of the gems of the season.

"Furthermore, Rob called your cover-2 defense and we got killed for appoximately a 50 yd touchdown pass and a 70 yd gain that led to a field goal"

LMAO Al Davis Rules!

[503raider1986]

"Not a 75 yard FG to what, I don't know"

It's ironic that Janokowski hit the 57 yarder 2 weeks later to win the game against the Jets.

Some may think that the game has passed him by, but I believe in his logic. He asked Lane, "I want to know why you went with 3 CB's and 5 Safeties"

CB is a premium position in the NFL, why would you only have 3? He asked him about the TO's and clock management. I believe he is still a bright football mind.

[IROefc1]

You don`t have a fucking clue if you think all those TE`s are better than Miller

[hibrahim86]

Because the tickets never sell out in the coliseum. I don't blame the A's for wanting a new stadium although I'm a giants fan in baseball. And the Giants built AT&T park at the right time too. The 49ERS are trying to find a land for their new stadium either it's in Hunters Point or Santa Clara because Candlestick is really old and slowly falling apart. The coliseum is the biggest mistake to hit the bay area you raiders can keep that junkie ass place and the junkie ass area it's in too.

[hibrahim86]

Another Problem was that The NFL wanted the 49ERS and the Raiders to Share a new stadium in the Bay Area. Jed York as the 49ERS president was willing to talk to Al Davis into sharing a new stadium, But Al Davis Doesn't seem to cheep to throw in money and he is cheep to even build a new stadium himself . The problem was that he shouldn't of Renovated the Coliseum and built Mount Davis when the came back from L.A. That's why the A's want to leave the coliseum and build a new stadium.

[hibrahim86]

As a 49ERS Fan, I have to Admit that Al Davis needs to go. If you look at him, he looks like Death rolled over him 3 times I wouldn't be surprised if he is grim reaper. Your team is not going to do anything only unless Al Davis gets his head out his ass, or if he passes away. Imp less I'm glad not to share a new stadium, with the raider fans or that old geyser Al Davis.

[lightbringerrr]

Former Coaches have no goddamned business being owners/operators/GM's who can't distance themselves from game planning and play calling. Jimmy Johnson won in SPITE of Jerry Jones, not because of him. Al is a Jerry Jones. You guys are fucked as long as Al runs your show.

[503raider1986]

You mean Jerry Jones learned from Mr. Davis, Jones has only been around since 1989 so don't act like he has been doing it longer,

[lightbringerrr]

Okay then, Jerry is an Al; happy?

The point remains unchanged.

[503raider1986]

That Herchel Walker trade didn't hurt Jimmy Johnson either, and Jerry didn't stand in his way.

I am sure many thought the Cowboys were in a world of trouble after Aikman's rookie season.

They would have been in a world or hurt if they took Mandarich and stuck with Jimmy's boy Steve Walsh.

It is easy to do revisionist history when it comes to the NFL, but you won't achieve greatness unless you stick your neck out a little. Sort of like Jerry did for the Cowboys, he did fire Tom Landy

[flippnbricks2o8]

Bill Parcells was a Coach and he is the VP of football Operations in Miami. I think Bill is doing a good job.

[sickoicko12]

I shouldn't even have to say anything shit. Just read arkoe310's comment.

[503raider1986]

A bust is Ryan Leaf, not Robert Gallery, Robert is a classy individual, he is going to restructure his deal and he will continue to improve under Tom Cable

[arkoe310]

LMAO at the post about robert gallery being a good player. He is a bust kid. face it. He was drafted as a LT then he sucked there and went to RT sucked there and then went to guard that fool sux.

[sickoicko12]

Lol!! That dude always gets penalized. He pisses me the fuck off!!

[503raider1986]

3 False stars last season wow, no holding penalties either

[503raider1986]

Gallery has salvaged his Career at LG, I got the Stats to prove it

[452mike1986]

Kiffin is in for a rude awakening, Al Davis bashing of this guy will be justified soon. He is a snake and everyone will see it in time.

This guy is a total Jackass. Al Davis is screwing things up pretty good in Oakland, but he was right about Kiffin.

The only reason anyone sided with Kiffin during the Raiders deal was the extreme prejudice and hatred directed at Al Davis. Most of you are blinded by your hate

Gallery a bust at LT. .but a Pro Bowl at LG.

[thetruth117]

Russell sucks and Davis needs to realize its time to rebuild. Your team sucks

[gunot831]

he also made the steleers lol ..but yea .the team is not doing good the defense is keepin them in the game every time ....

[RJSARAH10]

yall know he made the chargers

[nickakcin]

he dropped hall 'cos kiffin wanted him so Al is using hall as a reason for disappointment & that hall is a kiffin pick Al can't be a man & say it's all his fault he's using kiffin still what a jerk i hate watching the Raiders play every sunday under that shmuck Tom Cable we suck!!

[jay305]

russell = big bust

[503raider1986]

Can you really evaluate it at this point

[dirtyniggeronpcp]

In the previous video, Al Davis claims that Lane Kiffin signed every single free agent except for Gibril Wilson. Isn't it funny how Kiffin signed only the BAD players and Davis signed the 1 decent player?

[Chiggs58th]

Has Mr Davis looked at his team's roster? Their most talented player is the kicker Janakwoski! This is a team with NO obvious talent.

[toadsniffing]

Not true. Gallery is an awesome player and JaMarcus Russell has a good arm (just inexperienced).

[raiders4life2010]

No talent, lol. ur right gallery is awesome at LG. we have 3 good RB. Zach Miller is a star at TE, Russell is getting better each week, Higgins is really developing at WR and Nnamdi is the best corner in the NFL.

The Raiders have no talent? HA!

[TheWB28]

All is very true. I love Higgins but I hope he doesn't get too cocky. And Al Davis can thank Kiffin for drafting Zach Miller. Anytime USC played Arizona Miller would put on a show so wehn Kiffin came over to the bay he made sure to pick him up early in the 2nd round.

[Shaggysworld]

Really.. unless you guys finally start mcfadden nnamdi asoumoua is the only really talented player you have higgins russell and miller are all some of the worst starters at their positions WR and QB would take too long to do so here are some Tight Ends who are better than miller Antonio Gates Tony Gonzalez Dallas Clark Jason Witten Greg Olsen John Carlson Jerermy Shockey Dustin Keller Owen Daniels Chris Cooley Vernon Davis Heath Miller Kellen Winslow Anthony Fasono Todd Heap

[Whereswaldo70]

no...

[503raider1986]

Anthony FASANO is not better than Miller. You even got Vernon Davis up there, that guy was a top 10 pick # 6 overall, but he is not a BUST because he plays for the 49ers.

If Vernon was a Raiders and Miller was a 49er I bet you would just have the names flopped and said Vernon was garbage.

You are just a Raider hater. Sure I am a fan, and that makes me like Miller more than some of those other players.

Todd Heap at the end was a stretch.

[Shaggysworld]

haha i was just messing around. Miller is defanitally better than fasano i just figured some people would get mad. And no im not a raider hater. I live in Kansas City but I actully support the raiders and I think the Heyward-Bey pick is a good fit for your offense.

[MaltaRugby]

he says that the offense only scored 2 first half touchdowns in 8 games, including pre-season, but Kiffin didn't want Russel, he wanted a player to fit his system. Maybe Davis should've listened, especially after Russel didn't even play that much last season!

[thepolacek]

"he's a good player, get over it!" lol

[ColdplayOAK08]

Davis does suck if you look under yahoo news under NFL warren sapp even said the raiders aren't going to to do well again until davis is out of the picture

[kahu247]

al davis suxx

[Sly88Frye]

wait wut? he complained about this and that? i never heard of Kiffin complaining about anything. it seemed to me that Kiffin actually wanted to be the head coach of the team. there wont be any coach in the NFL who actually wants to coach for this team. Kiffin wanted to, the next guy wont, all cuz of Davis. even if he hires somebody, he wont even want to be there.

[lacman]

I lost respect for Al Davis when He fired Gruden and he was winning.

[Sly88Frye]

he didnt fire Gruden. Gruden left the team because of Davis. but, he wasnt fired.

[mb1458]

what are with those fingers...he looks like half tree man!!

[Sly88Frye]

lol!

[Forenzik15]

Just lose baby! Raiders is a losing organization. They need to change their motto to commitment to being the NFL's cellar dwellers. Al Davis you gotta let it go because you are out of touch with coaches and players.

[thepolacek]

This is why the raiders ALWAYS lose...

[Livenlaff]

True Raider fashion. Crazyness!

[SuperDroogie187]

Somewhere, Mike Shanahan is telling Lane Kiffin, "You want revenge, I can give it to you!"

[bwalsh08]

Al should just coach the team himself

[rikkiflores]

How can you watch a 50 minute video of Al Davis personally attacking someone and say that it is the coach's fault?! This is totally unprofessional, this is personal. This garbage needs to stop. Al Davis needs to get out of the team's operations. And saying that doesn't make me any less of a Raider fan.

[452mike1986]

the raiders will be fine.. Lane was the problem..

[dddevin69]

You don't know about football if you think for a second that Lane is the proble. I wasn't high on Jamarcus Russell either. Look at Brady Quinn when he finally gets to start. Al Davis has proved that he's a class A moron. Matt Millen would be a better gm than Al Davis. at least Millen would recruit offensive talent

[purplexxd]

ur no raiders fan the game against buffalo and san diego were devastating we had a two touchdown margin and crapped it away going 3 and out 3 and out.that wasn't al davis u sound like whitewashed oakland hatting KNBR.

[wsmisfit]

Im a Raider fan, but man Al Davis should be embarrassed by his actions, and his yes men co signing the crypt keeper to go and do this press conference is bordering on insanity..Hey AL( ghost rider ) you are the problem, look in the mirror and fire yourself

[dddevin69]

George Bush is a better president...than Al Davis is an NFL owner.
