Dickey: New coach won’t fix Raiders
Lane Kiffin will soon be history - the betting among insiders is that he’ll be gone before next month’s draft - and the only question is his successor. Al Davis will hire from within, either defensive coordinator Rob Ryan or newly hired James Lofton. My money is on Lofton, who was twice interviewed by Davis for the head job in the past.
