McFadden, Raiders Save Kiffin

At 33 years old Lane Kiffin is the youngest head coach in the NFL. He just may get to keep that title for another week as Kiffin's Oakland Raiders defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 23-8 on Sunday. Led by Darren McFadden's career high 164 yards rushing, including a nineteen yard touchdown run, the Raiders looked a lot more like the team owner Al Davis and company expected than the deer in headlights team they looked like in week one.

Rumors have circulated all week regarding the potential firing of Kiffin if things in Oakland did not get turned around in a hurry. Kiffin and Davis have bumped heads several times over the past few months prompting Davis to go as far as saying "he's not the guy I hired."

It will be interesting to see just how much time this win will buy Kiffin. It was a much better effort on the field in week two, but the Raiders only have so much to work with. Its just a matter of time before they get blown out again and the drama continues.
