Earlier today, the Oakland Raiders official site reported that longtime owner Al Davis died at the age of 82.
USC head coach Lane Kiffin, who was the Raiders head coach in 2007 and 2008, had this to say about Davis:
"I was very saddened this morning to learn of the passing of Al Davis. Â He was an iconic figure in the history of professional football and built a truly legendary franchise with the Raiders. Â I consider myself fortunate to have known him and to have been a part of that Raiders history. Â Even though our relationship did not end the way I would have liked, I have nothing but the greatest respect for Mr. Davis and I truly appreciate the opportunity he afforded me and so many young coaches, players and staff. Â My thoughts go out to his family and the family and fans of the Raiders past and present."
