Kiffin Fired Without Pay Via Telephone
30th September, 2008 - 1:26 pm
ESPN - Lane Kiffin was fired by Oakland Raiders' owner Al Davis without pay via the telephone, according to team sources.

Tom Cable, the team's offensive line coach, was emerging as the leading candidate to replace Kiffin, a source said.

Kiffin and Davis had a falling out on several fronts, starting when Davis believed Kiffin expressed private interest in the head coaching position at the University of Arkansas during the 2007 season.

Kiffin also attempted to fire Rob Ryan, but Davis blocked that move. Kiffin was believed to have been given control over his own staff when he was hired. [READ]
