And when I say finally, I mean it in the sense that they’ve been talking about it too long. Apparently the Raiders heartbreaking loss to the Buffalo Bills was the straw that broke the camels back, because management is informing Kiffin to pack his bags.

Sources told ESPN’s Chris Mortensen on Sunday that the Oakland Raiders owner intends to fire coach Lane Kiffin as early as Monday. Team officials have told the coach of the impending move.

When asked after Sunday’s defeat if he was worried about his job, Kiffin replied: “I don’t even think about that.”

I personally don’t believe Kiffin is the problem in Oakland, it’s not his fault that the defense absolutely melted in the fourth quarter. Rob Ryan should be shouldering the blame for Sunday’s debacle, and for that reason I hope Ryan is named interim head coach. Lane and Rob have been beefing since the offseason, so its time for Ryan to show if he can turn the squad around.
