With his team’s collapse Sunday in Buffalo, rumor has it that Oakland Raiders’ head coach Lane Kiffin could be fired by owner Al Davis as early as today.

Kiffin has been informed by Raiders officials that Al Davis intends to remove him as the team’s head coach as early as Monday, FOXSports.com has learned.

Davis blamed Kiffin for the Raiders’ 24-23 loss on Sunday to the Bills, and told his underlings that he will make the move on Monday. However, word was leaked out last week in a similar fashion and Kiffin survived. Players reached out to FOXSports.com to express hope that the move would not be made, and with Davis you can never be certain.

Kiffin reportedly has been on bad terms with Davis since shortly after last season. Sources said that when Kiffin informed Davis of coaching changes he wanted to make, the owner actually sent word to those coaches that the head coach was looking to make a move, but that Davis would protect them.

Davis isn’t running a football team – he’s running a circus. He’s going to fire Kiffin, the man he hired just over a year ago, because as it turns out Kiffin isn’t a “yes man.” And the team that has rallied around Kiffin the past two weeks will be left in the lurch once again.

Davis is apparently leaning towards wide receivers coach James Lofton or defensive coordinator Rob Ryan as Kiffin’s possible successor. Whichever one Davis thinks he can control will likely get the nod.
