ESPN's Chris Mortensen is reporting that Oakland Raiders head coach Lane Kiffin has been fired by owner Al Davis via a phone call today. Mortensen cites unidentified team sources and says the rest of Kiffin's contract will not be honored.
Tom Cable, the team's offensive line coach, was emerging as the leading candidate to replace Kiffin, a source told Mortensen, and Davis is expected to have a press conference today.
Mortensen a few minutes ago on ESPN radio said Kiffin can appeal to the coaches union if indeed his contract isn't honored.

That old man has gone totally insane. He's ruined our beloved Silver and Black. I really mean it. This is not a joke.
The old man is so doddering that when the phone rings, he answers the iron.
