Raiders coach Tom Cable made himself available to his first extended interview with KHTK (1140-AM) and host Mike Lamb. In the interview Cable was asked if he expects to be the Raiders head coach next year. :Well, absolutely. I don't think there was ever any question" Cable replied. "That, really, was more speculation than anything else. It's never been a thought in my mind. We went at this thing every day, whether it was discussions with the owner or discussions with the staff, that we were moving forward and getting ready for 2010. So, it's never really been an issue for us." For the record, the Raiders continue to insist the Cable's situation is being evaluated. Source: Oakland Tribune
