Odds on when Lane Kiffin Gets Fired From Oakland Raiders

Lane Kiffin is still the head coach of the Oakland Raiders following a solid road win in Kansas City Sunday and reports that emerged while that game was in play that Kiffin could be fired.

The Raiders did little to dampen talk that Kiffin's job is in jeopardy. Reports surfaced in the Contra Costa Times over the weekend that owner Al Davis wanted to fire his coach because he was upset about a string of critical comments Davis viewed as a form of insubordination.

"There are certain things I can control, there's certain things I can't," Kiffin said. "This happens to be the next one. He has a decision to make. It does me no good to worry about it right now."

Instead, Kiffin will prepare for Sunday's game at Buffalo. He said he wants to keep his job.

Kiffin added he had not spoken to Davis recently, but the two are expected to meet early this week. Kiffin stressed that the lack of contact in the past week wasn't necessarily unusual.

"Don't make a big deal out of it. That's very normal," he said. "We don't sit next to each other on the plane. Al's not around as much as he used to be."

The questions about Kiffin's status have been lingering since January, when the coach and owner were at odds over the defensive coordinator in a dispute that led to Davis sending Kiffin a letter of resignation to sign.

The feud has simmered ever since Davis overruled Kiffin and kept defensive coordinator Rob Ryan on the staff. Kiffin has been publicly critical of personnel moves since then but admitted he probably could have handled his relationship with management better.
