Well, I'll be damned.
I was under the impression that when Al Davis unceremoniously fired former head coach, Lane Kiffin, that he would have a hard time finding a new head coach.
Sure, the Raiders are one of the premier coaching jobs because of their history. But, as of late, they have been horrible and Davis has continuously handcuffed his coaches and teams with his meddling ways.
Still, former New York Giants head coach, Jim Fassel wants the gig.
What makes it more fascinating is that he is being seriously proactive in his pursuit of the job. It is being reported that Fassel sent Davis a handwritten letter expressing his admiration and respect for Al and his desire to coach the team.
I know Fassel has been out of coaching since 2006 when the Ravens released him as their offensive coordinator, but still.
Maybe, his is a masochist.
Or, possibly he truly thinks he can work under Davis.
There were no reports as to Al's response. And, it will be interesting to see if he takes Fassel up on his offer. He might as well give it to him. I'm not sure there will be too many others rushing to coach the black and silver.
I know I wouldn't.
The Wizard has spoken.
