They leave skid marks gettin' outta town...

Quote:

In a strange twist that left the Oakland Raiders jilted by their first choice to succeed Art Shell, Southern California quarterbacks coach Steve Sarkisian on Friday evening rejected the team's offer to become its next head coach.

League sources who confirmed the move by Sarkisian gave no reason for his decision. The Raiders had offered a contract longer than the two-year deal Shell signed but further details were not available.

One interview with Al Davis and coaches can't seem to get out of town quick enough. How many coaches have turned down this job this year and last? The state of the Faider Nation is in big trouble. :)

... and I'm sooooooooo enjoying it.
