Former Raiders and current Denver Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan is jealous that Kiffin lasted longer than him in Oakland.

“I was a little disappointed, to be honest with you. When you take a look at it, I was there 582 days. Lane Kiffin was there 616 days. So, what it really means is that Al Davis liked Lane more than he liked me,” Shanahan joked during his weekly news conference.

“I really don’t think it’s fair. I won three more games, yet he got 34 more days of work. That just doesn’t seem right. I knew how many days I was there. I just wasn’t sure how long Lane was there,” Shanahan continued to say. “And then I found out after that press conference that Al really liked Lane more than me because he lasted 34 more days. That’s 34 more days of pay, you think about that? And I had three more wins than him. That doesn’t seem right, does it?”

A lot of people in the NFL hate Al Davis and Shanahan is certainly no exception. Al Davis fired him four games into the 1989 season and Davis refused to pay Shanahan $250,000 he was owed after being dismissed as their head coach.

19 years later Al Davis is trying to do the same thing with Lane Kiffin.
