Tom Cable to be interviewed for OL Coach

[robjay04]

Look at that, we do value experience.

Somewhat.

 

[perrykemp]

How many ex head coaches on staff (if hired) would that be?

 

[ABQcowboyJR]

I always thought he got a raw deal in OAK. I wouldn't be opposed to the hire.

OK, so the joke goes....
So...how many ex-HC's does it take NOT to make the playoffs.........

 

[jazzcat22]

I always thought he got a raw deal in OAK. I wouldn't be opposed to the hire.

I would be ok with this also.
What OL coach wouldn't want the chance to come here and coach this group and have Zeke at RB.

 

[Risen Star]

Everyone wants to coach here.

 

[bayeslife]

Both he and Alexander would be fine choices.

That's some hard livin' there! Oldest 53-year old man I have ever seen.



That said, I think he'd make a good candidate as well. I'm glad they're talking to him and Alexander.

 

[Aven8]

Will make a fine Interim HC at the midway point next season!

 

[canters]

If Linehan has the power, Cable is our man. They go way back.

 

[SportsGuru80]

I actually like Cable. Him or Alexander will do a good job with our offensive line. People need to stop with the overreactions SMFH.

Raw deal? He physically assaulted an assistant and kept his job. That's not a raw deal

He did? Awesome we need a head banger on staff. We have a butt slapper, drivel yapper, hand clapper... we need a hard nosed crapper

Interesting read on Cable and the zone blocking scheme:

[cowboy_ron]

Cable may get hired before leaving the Star.

Allegedly physically assaulted an assistant. The NFL investigated as did the local authorities and charges were never brought, because the assistant in question, Randy Hanson, gave conflicting stories to authorities and there were inconsistencies throughout his story.

Oddly enough, Hanson was later arrested for smashing a beer bottle in the face of someone outside a night club.

Also, Cable also had accusations of domestic violence brought against him by an ex-wife and former girlfriend, but again, no charges were filed I believe.
