ALAMEDA, Calif. -- The Oakland Raiders promoted offensive coordinator Hue Jackson to head coach on Monday after he helped the team more than double its scoring output in his first year with the franchise.

Jackson will be formally introduced at a news conference Tuesday -- two weeks after the Raiders announced they were not picking up an option to keep coach Tom Cable.

In related news, ex-coach Tom Cable is suing owner Al Davis to recoup "$120,000 in fines that Davis withheld from Cable's paychecks in his last season." The NFL is "doing its due diligence to ascertain the exact reasons for the fines" according the link here: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=6027281&campaign=rss&source=NFLHeadlines. Davis was said to be upset with Cable over the fact that Oakland lost two days of organized team activities (OTAs) in June 2010, among other things...

Al... you're such a cheap shithead... any excuse to fuck someone over. What's $120K compared to the millions you blew on JaMarcus Russell?

As for Hue Jackson, good luck coach -- and hang in there. Al Davis can't live forever.

1. No one else wants this job.

As far as living forever, Al Davis might just be proof that necromancy is real.
