It is being reported that Undead Al has "officially" decided on removing the "interim" tag from in front of Tom Cable's name. Making him the head coach of the Oakland Raiders for the 2009 season.
I am pretty happy with this decision. As I have said before, he brings continuity to the team. Many of players have come out and said that they wanted Cable back, including JaMarcus Russell. Cable may have made a couple of bone-headed play calls, most notably, at home against KC when he decided to pull out the ole' fake field goal, and KC ended up getting six points for themselves out of it.
The reason he was probably the right man is that he actually wanted the Raiders job. That's a project in itself. It's a known fact that, for Cable, the Raiders are his dream job.
There are also reports that Al has also decided upon his coordinators as well. Ted Tollner, the recently fired 49ers QB's coach, who has experience as an O coordinator, and is old as dirt. John Marshall is allegedly the guy for the vacant D coordinator spot. He has been the Seahawks defensive coordinator for the past three years. I like this one, but I'm not sure about the Tollner pick. We'll just have wait and see I guess.
At least we have our coach finally. Now we can shift out focus and attention to re-signing Lechler and Asomugha. We need both of them.
