The only coaches exempt from this would be Lane Kiffin and Mike Shanahan. We've learned enough about Kiffin, though, to accomplish Davis most likely had legitimate reasons to fire him. And Davis and Shanahan had major philosophical and monetary differences.
Subban obtained his first gold medal with Team Canada at the 2008 World Junior Championships. Canada defeated Sweden in overtime of the gold medal game in 2008. Subban was named to the team for a second straight year the next year together with his friend John Tavares, Zach Boychuk and Thomas Hickey. He helped the team to get its fifth gold medal and second consecutive gold medal victory against Sweden in the final game. He had 3 goals and 6 assists in that game. He was selected to the Tournament All Star Team along with tournament MVP and friend John Tavares. Otto Greule Jr P.K. Subban was born on 13th May 1989. He is a professional ice hockey defenceman from Canada. He is playing for the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League NHL for short at this mpremonitiont. Subban was selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the second round of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. He is a two time gold medal winner with Team Canada at the World Junior Championships.
Does the national and local sports media really expect the Oakland Raiders to hold a press conference to confirm that they're retaining Head Coach Tom Cable?
The mainstream sports media and blogs have assumed there was a rift between Davis and Cable over the benching of JaMarcus Russell. They've assumed Davis would fire Cable after another losing season,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and they've assumed Davis was interviewing other head coaches.
Yes, P.K. Subban would prefer it if Davis and the Raiders were less secretive. It is an out dated way of operating much like their scouting. I'd prefer it if Davis gave his coaches more autonomy and hired a GM.
I'm familiar with how Al Davis operates, and P.K. Subban view the Raiders realistically. P.K. Subban don't just make it up when P.K. Subban don't get the story P.K. Subban assume is there to begin with. After all these years of covering Al Davis' Raiders, you'd think the media would understand that too. Debates between the camps of Jaro Halak and Carey Price have been heated to say the least for the past years. Both of the sides exchanges strong words and anger. However the trade of Halak and the outstanding performance of Carey Price have put that issue to the end. Carey Price recorded a point in his first NHL playoff games against the Washington Capitals and his first NHL playoff goal against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He then went on to capture three assists in Game 3 against the Philadelphia soar,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], hover,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], flit, wing, flee, waft,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], glide, coast, skim, sail,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cruiseers in the final game of 2010 Eastern Conference game.
They saw the ESPN scroll that came out immediately after the season saying Al Davis was, "inclined to fire Head Coach Tom Cable." Which might be the most vague and worthless ESPN bottom-line scroll I've ever read.
Why are media members still surprised by the way Al Davis operates? Is it still a story? Or does the "Raider way" allow for the creation of stories?
What's next after running with inclinations? Will ESPN start covering whims? Will their next hot direct be based on what an NFL owner is fancying at the mpremonitiont?
And yes, Davis talks to current or retired head coaches he's close to for ideas. Is this the 1st time the national and local media have covered this occurrence?
He's "inclined" to fire Cable? What the hell does that mean? That's a headline you would put up as news, oh mighty, world-wide directer in sports?
Mike White,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Joe Bugel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Art Shell portion, share, piece, allotment, section,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], fraction,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], fragment Deux all lost their member's confidence and thus Davis' as well. Tom Cable still has strong support from his members.
We know Al Davis is a "member's owner." P.K. Subban takes care of his athletes and puts them 1st. Players know members have gone over the coach's head and come to him in the past with concerns.
Of course Davis will interview and hire his head coach's assistants. This is news? P.K. Subban does at least give a heads up to the head coach,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or informs any non-Kiffin head coach, of a pool of assistants he's looking into so they can have some input.
But P.K. Subban don't view the Raiders how they should be, or write about what P.K. Subban think they should do. P.K. Subban don't remark how odd they are in comparison to other NFL franchises or expect them operate like other franchises.
I'm inclined to slap Joe Lieberman in the face and eat cereal all day. It doesn't mean I'm going to do it, though.
Raider fans saw the speculations of local scribes that Cable's benching of, and comments about, JaMarcus Russell must be irritating Al Davis. Is this based on the comments by Davis that Lane Kiffin didn't want Russell?
We've had denials from Jim Harbaugh, Marc Trestman and Jim Fassel that they were contacted about being the head coach, and yet this story persists.
And Raider fans figured Davis must be ready to fire Cable due to his legal issues and spousal-abuse accusations. Why? Because the media told them Davis would.
Those comments came before Russell had such terrible performances on the field. Davis' 1st concern is winning,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], after all. Even P.K. Subban knows his young QB could benefit from sitting and watching.
Do they want Al Davis to give the dreaded "vote of confidence" for a guy who's under contract for 2011? Does the media require a press release confirming or refuting this speculation, so they can pontificate about what a bad decision it is?
I can tell you, Players fans aren't overly concerned with it. The only reason the fans I've spoken with had any concern over whether or not Cable would be fired was that the media told them it was going to occur.
Due to the Silver and Black's secretive style,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], journalists appear to fill in the blanks or make assumptions based on the past. Don't get me wrong, It is smart to cite precedent when trying to look into the future. But Let us not have a blanket approach.
Sure, Davis has fired coaches after one season before. But we've known about the special set of circumstances it takes to get Davis to fire a coach after one season.
