The Facts:
Al Davis appears on the verge of making another coaching change. The San Jose Mercury News reported Sunday that the Raiders owner could fire HC Lane Kiffin as early as Monday. Citing several front-office sources, the newspaper reported Davis is set to make the change regardless of how the Raiders perform Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Oakland beat the Chiefs, 23-8, bouncing back from a 41-14 season-opening loss to the rival Broncos last Monday night and ESPN is reporting a move could come -- but at the much less imminent "before season's end." Still, anything could happen. "It's out of my hands," Kiffin said after Sunday's game. "I don’t really want to talk about something I can’t control. ..." That would include his boss, Davis, who routinely overpays for free agents and changes coaches. Since making the Super Bowl following the 2002 season, the Raiders have gone an abysmal 19-62 and had three different coaches.
