Lane Kiffin always has the deer in the headlights look kinda like Eli Manning. His body and facial mannerisms are a bit strange. He seems like a good coach when you get passed the mannerisms. He definitely should get another chance.
Having said all that, it's the House of Mouse there in OAK. Who knows what goes on in Al's head??? A former genius who is being taken down by father time. It's actually very sad for those of us who are old enough to remember an innovator, great football man, and shrewd businessman.
It takes a certain kind of person to deal with Al. Lane showed back bone by letting the story slip about the letter, yes that came from lane's people no matter what is said. he basically said if you want me gone than fire me and show just how shaky this organization is, but i won't just quit and if he did quit Lane would probably never coach in the NFL again at least as a head coach. Al just wants to run the team his way Lane wants not total control but just a litle breathing room. IMO davis will give in thinking he is giving kiffin just enough rope to hang himself but kiffin might suprise everyone
