ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) – Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis says he fined former coach Tom Cable $120,000 because of the strain of the strain on the organization from lawsuits involving Cable assaulting a former assistant coach and a former girlfriend.
Davis addressed Cable’s fines and many other issues during a more than 100-minute news conference Tuesday announcing the hiring of Hue Jackson as head coach.
Davis says he withheld the money from Cable’s last six checks because of the two cases that are now no longer in court. Davis says the suit by former assistant Randy Hanson was kicked out of court and sent to an NFL arbitrator. He says that Cable has settled the suit with former girlfriend Marie Lutz.
Cable’s agent did not immediately reply to an e-mail seeking comment. Cable has filed a grievance with the NFL to recover the lost wages.
