NFL: DETROIT (0-0) at OAKLAND (0-0) <h3>Kiffin makes coaching debut for Raiders</h3> <div class="pre">Detroit (3-13) at Oakland (2-14) Sunday 4:15 pm EDT</div> OAKLAND, California (Ticker) -- Lane Kiffin, the NFL's youngesthead coach at 32 years old, makes his debut when the OaklandRaiders host the Detroit Lions in a battle of two of theleague's least successful teams. An assistant at Southern California for the past six years and aformer quarterback at Fresno State, Kiffin signed a five-yearcontract with the Raiders as Art Shell's successor. He had beenUSC's offensive coordinator for the past two seasons. Kiffin will try to inject some youthful exuberance into aonce-proud franchise that has fallen on harm times in recentyears. The Raiders posted a league-worst 2-14 record last season andare just 15-49 since capturing their last division title in2002. Oakland was by far the worst offensive team in the NFL lastyear, averaging only 10.5 points per game. The Raiders scoredjust 16 touchdowns - and four of those were by the defense. With top draft pick JaMarcus Russell still holding out due to acontract dispute, Daunte Culpepper or Josh McCown will open theseason as the Raiders' starting quarterback. Kiffin has yet toannounce who will start against the Lions. Detroit has had even less success than the Raiders, managing anembarrassing 24-72 record since Matt Millen became the team'spresident in 2001. But despite a 3-13 mark, the Lions were competitive, losingseven games by seven points or less, and they finally may have areason to be optimistic. Detroit boasts a pair of talentedyoung receivers in Roy Williams and rookie Calvin Johnson, theteam's first-round draft pick out of Georgia Tech. The Lions ranked second in passing last year as Jon Kitnaenjoyed a solid season, throwing for more than 4,200 yards.Where Detroit need major improvement, however,is on the ground.It was 30th in rushing in 2006, averaging a meager 66.2 yardsper game. The Lions acquired running back Tatum Bell in a trade for ProBowl cornerback Dre Bly as insurance for Kevin Jones, who isexpected to be sidelined for at least six weeks following footsurgery.
