Kiffin's job still in jeopardy after win... according to "The REAL Feed":

Raiders' Kiffin stays as coach, but status still uncertain (http://www.nfl.com/news/story;jsessionid=C52137DE9A8C4E8CEB1EAD0CEBA30EA4?id=09000d5d80ad9813&template=with-video&confirm=true)

Lane Kiffin went through his usual routine Monday, watching game film, meeting with the media and doing all the other tasks as Oakland Raiders head coach. How much longer he will have those responsibilities remains an open question.

Living, literally, right down the road a bit from the Coliseum (I digress... ABSOLUTELY CRAZY for a Donkos [smiley=broncofan.gif] fan, [smiley=yikes.gif] mind you) and watching this unfold from the front row, so to speak,... what a circus [smiley=clown.gif] From "The REAL Feed":

KIFFIN DEFIANT AMID RUMOURS (http://www.sportinglife.com/nfl/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=American_Football/08/09/23/GRIDIRON_USA-Oakland.html)

Oakland head coach Lane Kiffin has denied reports he is set to be fired.

In fact, from what I've heard, where it says, "... is set to be fired," above, it should actually read, "has been fired!" Crazy! [smiley=stilldunno.gif]

After the HORRIBLE performance last week from the Raiders, I am not surprised by this. Shocking the whole second string does not start since the team is sooooo bad.
