Lane Kiffin didn't speak directly to the revelation owner Al Davis asked him to resign this month following the Senior Bowl.
When asked if he'd be the coach this season, Kiffin said, "I hope so" according to an Associated Press report.
By saying he hoped to return, Kiffin laid the foundation if he's not back.
He can say it was Davis who ran him out and that he wanted to coach the Raiders.
The Raiders need to consider the big picture.
They just drafted a quarterback last year in JaMarcus Russell.
A sure way to stunt the development of a young QB is to start changing coaches every year.
Then again, it's also the way to stunt the growth of an entire team.
Then again, you knew that.
