Hey Erock, about Kiffin...

First, thanks for your info and input.  I love nothing more than seeing the chiefs beat up on the raiders, and luckily its happened a lot the last few years, but there is pretty much nothing dumber than trading insults via online messaging.  

Second, can you wax eloquent for a bit about Kiffin?  What's your personal opinion/take, and if its different than the general mood of the bulk of fans, how do they feel?  What kind of coach is he, will he be there for a long time, is he getting the attention of veterans or will most of the roster have to be replaced for the team to buy into his system, etc.  With the Chiefs, they're generally contenders for the post-season so there's always the hope that every year something will push them over the edge.  With the Raiders, who have had some pretty bad teams/records the last couple years, is there much thought that Kiffin will soon bring the team not only back to the playoffs but into contention for a championship?  

That ended up sounding a lot like a watered-down tv interview question, and i didn't mean for it to.  But, for example, i think the general mood in kc is that we're possibly going to make the playoffs but have pretty much no chance of a super bowl appearance for at least another couple years while Herm's youth movement takes hold and really changes the entire team (right now youth has a hold of about 1/3 of the positions).  What's the thinking like in Oakland?

About Kiffin
Sorry for the delayed response, in Oaktown and had to do airport pick ups etc. Had to get back to the hotel to watch the "Raider Report" on Comcast now.
Coach Kiffin has done a very good job of addressing the "culture of losing and lack of accountability".
He has said from day one that "there are no scholarships", this was exhibited in camp where non performers were pulled immediately from drills.
He has pared many "projects" from the roster and replaced them by "performers". This is an ongoing process.
We are a work in progress (particularly on offense), when the defense reaches it expectation levels, we will be much better.
Developmentally, we are still struggling to learn how to close out games. We have either relinquished leads or been within a touchdown in every 4th Qtr that we have not won.
The measure of Kiffin will be evaluated when facing adversity, will the team show resilience and answer challenges or will we falter.
Time will tell.
