Well, this decision seemed like to be inevitable. Crazy Raiders owner Al Davis has made his decision on the Oakland Raiders head coaching job, arguably the most undesired position in all NFL football.
With finishing the season they way he did I think Tom Cable was a no brainer to be the new head coach for the Raiders. First of all, I don't know a single coach who would want to come to Oakland right now with all the drama Lane Kiffin endured last season, but Tom Cable seems to be up to the task and in my opinion they got the right man for the job.
Cable did only win four games out of the eight he had coached to finish the season after Davis gave Kiffin the ax, but I would say that is one hell of an accomplishment considering the circumstances.
The Raiders may not be contenders for a few years, but after the team started to come together under Cable the future in Oakland looks brighter than it has in quite some time.
Darren McFadden didn't exactly have a season to remember, but not all rookie running backs are going to turn out like Adrian Peterson did in his first season. The one-two combo of Justin Fargas and McFadden will prove to be deadly in the near future as Fargas seemed to come into his own last season and McFadden will not be rushed into doing too much too soon.
JaMarcus Russell also seemed to have somewhat of a breakout season as well, not one like say Kurt Warner or Peyton Manning, but it has become obvious that Russell is starting to become more and more comfortable in the Raiders offense.
Needless to say, the Raiders for once have made the right decision by giving Cable a chance and the way things are looking Oakland will be poised to make some waves in the AFC in the coming years, especially if they make good use for the #10 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.
