It's All So Clear Now

So, the Oakland Raiders have fired Lane Kiffin, who apparently isn't enough of a company man, and high on the list of possible replacements is Rob Ryan, the defensive coordinator whose unit's collapses the last two weeks have a lot to do with the team's 1-3 record. Al Davis clearly values loyalty more than competence. Who knew he was a Republican?

Update: I didn't mean to imply above that Kiffin is competent, as there's no evidence to suggest that he is, only that Ryan isn't either, but he is loyal, so he may get a shot at coaching the Raiders. Lucky him.
