Tom Cable has a history in the Bay Area, and it got a bit dicey.
Since Cable is among the remaining candidates for the 49ers head coaching job, after Josh McDaniels stepped out of the running Monday, we thought it pertinent to look back at Cable’s tenure with the Raiders.
The highlight? Cable led Oakland to a 8-8 record in 2010, Al Davis’ last full season, for the first Raiders campaign not below .500 in eight years, since their Super Bowl trip. The lowlight? A punch to a jaw.
