Al Davis legacy shifting from winner to out-of-touch meddler - USATODAY.com From wire reports Two decades ago, Al Davis and Bill Parcells were chatting during an NFL owners meeting when Davis' new coach strolled by. "I want you to meet Mike Shanahan," Davis told Parcells. "He's going to be a great head coach." Shanahan, 35 at the time, has indeed distinguished himself, but not with Davis' Raiders. Twenty games into his tenure, he was fired, the same point that Davis fired Lane Kiffin this week.
I wonder what would ever happen if Bill Parcells worked for Al Davis. Now there'd be something to get out the popcorn for.
