Well I'll be damned.
Somehow, I think this is going to work. Don't know why, but I think it will.

sounds good......i guess. just wish he did this in the off season. al knew he didn't want kiffin anymore back in january. but at least we'll see some fire from the head coach now, and we can get a look at what knapp can do with the offense now.

Something tells me this was in the making way before the season started.at this point i really don't care "just win that's all that matters"

I'm totally down with that...Let Knapp call the plays and all is good with the world.

Something tells me that this was in the making before, and or was the catalyst fore Lane trying to remove Ryan as DC.

Megaton announcement. I can't believe Kiffin will be gone not finishing up the season. I like Rob Ryan and his attitude about football, I hope he makes a good HC for our Raiders. Shocking news.
