Raiders head coach Tom Cable said on Monday that he deserves to return to the club next season. Oakland's coaching staff is expected to learn their fate by early next week. "All I know is I have a contract right now," Cable said. "Whether or not that's honored is not up to me. I'm a ball coach. I'm a damned good football coach so things will work out. They always do." Cable has posted a 9-19 record since replacing Lane Kiffin early in 2008.
