Win One For The Kiffer!

The Oakland Raiders have made UCS OC the youngest HC in recent memory and I like it. Yeah, as a Raider fan my expectations are low, for now. Kiffin is coming in with the top pick in the draft as a guy who probably scouted or coached against most of the guys in the draft. Now we know that Al Davis has an iron grip, I think he is going to lighten up and let Kiffin have some space here. This is mainly a hunch but did anyone think that Davis would give him a 5 year deal? The draft was probably one of the most discussed topics in the interviews and the Raiders have to have a quality draft this year, it's moral imperative.

I'll admit. I was pretty high on McDaniels, but hiring a young confident head coach is just like Al Davis. In this case I'm pretty hopeful too. The draft will be the most important thing now, still I am curious how his game management will hold out.

Bottom line, we need a leader, on & off the field. Judging from his press conference Kiffin is tough cookie.

Bring on J-Russ!
