(Fri, 02 Jan 2009 17:44:01 PST)

When it comes to the Raiders, the postseason is essentially the green flag for another coaching search.

Interim coach Tom Cable led the Raiders to impressive victories in the final two games of the season—the first time that's happened since they won the AFC championship in 2002.
