The talk of the NFL combine has been the status of Lane Kiffin’s job as
head coach of the Oakland Raiders. This saga has been a real drain on
the entire Raider Nation. The problem is that this has become one of
those stories where the story has taken on “legs” despite there being
nothing substantial behind it. In fact, the story itself has become the
story. Lane Kiffin is in Indianapolis doing his job, just as he was in
Mobile doing his job during the Senior Bowl. Today, Adam Schefter, the
NFL Networks False Rumor Mongerer said that it appears that Kiffin’s job
is safe, so maybe, just maybe this drama can be put to bed.

The speculation in this matter has reached such insane proportions that
Jerry Macdonald of the Oakland Tribune made it clear that when he
finally caught up with Kiffin he was not wearing Raider gear. What is
this the red carpet at the Oscars with Joan Rivers where the wardrobe is
what is to be reported on? Of course, no one seemed to mention that
several other head coaches were not decked out in team gear.

Lane Kiffin, Rob Ryan, and the Raiders organization have all said that
Kiffin is the head coach. What more could be done? Let the speculation
end, and let the Raider’ coaching staff and scouts decide who they want
to go after in the draft.
