Steve Corkran of the Oakland Tribune reports Raiders coach Tom Cable, ending a prolonged silence over his job status, said in a radio interview Thursday that he has no doubt that he will continue in his current capacity for the 2010 season.

Cable spoke for about 11 minutes with KHTK-Sports 1140-AM in Sacramento on an array of topics that he has avoided since his season-ending news conference Jan. 4.

Cable has refused all interview requests from Bay Area media, save a brief, off-the-cuff remark earlier this week to a TV reporter camped in the parking lot of the team’s year-round facility in Alameda.

“I don’t think there was ever any question,” Cable said, when asked if he expects to be the Raiders coach next season. “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.”

Maybe not, but it remains an issue to managing general partner Al Davis, according to senior executive John Herrera and several other people familiar with the situation, some of them close to Cable.

I want to see if he'll commit to JR.

It would be hilarious if they announced they're firing him after those comments.

I wouldn't be surprised.

No one worth their coaching mettle wants to coach the Raiders, especially seeing how/how much Al is working this off season. He hasn't changed a bit --- just gotten older and more senile. Who wants him breathing down their back and calling EVERY play and telling you who and who not to play.

Only Cable, because no one else wants him. At least, with Cable there is a learning curve and he knows Al needs him. Can't say the same if he is forced to use JR, who could careless about anything except his paycheck.

My reluctance with Cable being coach, he can't and won't say "no" to Al. Therefore, more of the same. The 12th year of 'pitiful' Raiders.
