We’ve all been waiting for this for quite some time now. According to Chris Mortensen of ESPN, Al Davis has fired head coach Lane Kiffin and told him that he won’t be getting paid the remainder of the $3.5 million he’s owed.

It’s believed that Davis has been waiting to pile up enough evidence of insubordination so that he wouldn’t have to pay him the balance of his contract.

It’s believed that Tom Cable, the team’s o-line coach, is the front-runner to take over for Kiffin.

This is just the latest move that makes no sense to us. Davis dropped down tons of guaranteed money this offseason to guys who didn’t deserve it (Javon Walker, Tommy Kelly, Gibril Wilson, DeAngelo Hall), yet he’s worried about Kiffin’s $3.5 million.

Al Davis shouldn’t be behind the wheel of a car right now, let alone running a football team.
