From the first day of the off-season, the general consensus around the league has been that Oakland head coach Tom Cable was on his way out from his gig with the team. But after meeting with team owner Al Davis multiple times over the past two weeks, Cable has seemingly saved his job for at least one more season and will coach the Raiders next fall.

Citing a source close to the organization, ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that a deal has been reached between the two sides to keep Cable on the sidelines in 2010, although no confirmation of that arrangement was forthcoming from the team. That said, Oakland has been known for denying almost every report made by ESPN over the past few seasons, and so while it’s entirely within the realm of possibility that this still isn’t done, it’s doubtful that ESPN would run with this report unless they have credible info to back it up.

As always, we’ll keep you updated with the latest when this deal actually becomes official, but for now Raiders fans should be happy that some semblance of common sense still exists in Oakland in the Davis regime.
