If my calculator reads right....

Donnie Webb is reporting that disguntled Raiders coach Lane Kiffin may or may not be on AD Darryl Gross' radar.

The timing may be perfect because according to this, plus what Ive read on Raider message boards today, Kiffin may be on his way out of Oakland sooner rather than later.

College fans will probably know him best for running that high octane USC Trojans offense as well as bringing in a truckload of talent to do it with. Going by Dr Gross' requirements he fits the bill in more ways than one. On top of having ties to USC, he's got NFL experience. He's a proven coordinator. And most of all, he's got that Pete Carrol stamp of approval. Kiffin's father, Monte Kiffin is Tampa Bay's Defensive Coordinator and one of the most repsected in the NFL. The only downfall with Monte Kiffin is that he's also G-Rob's former mentor and we've seen the fruit of G-Rob's coaching. Do the math and an announcment that G-Rob is gone just maaaaaaay be in the very near future. Rumors are even floating around that Dr Gross is planning on meeting with Kiffin.

This is all speculation of course, but it may be what's in store for the program. I'm not against it by any means. Ive read alot of fans today opposed to this because Kiffins another West Coast guy with no college head coaching experience. I think he could bring a truckload of talent in just on what he did at USC alone. From what I've read Raider's owner Al Davis won't let him run the team his way (gee what are th odds huh?) and wants him out. I wanted Dr Gross to get the ball rolling on the transition in coaching. Well its all speculation at this point but......who knows
