The Oakland Raiders have told coach Tom Cable they are not picking up his option to bring him back next season. The team announced the decision Tuesday night. Cable's agent Don Yee says other teams have already shown interest in hiring Cable for other jobs. Cable has extensive experience as an offensive line coach. Under the terms of Cable's contract, the Raiders had until Jan. 17 to inform Cable whether they would exercise options for 2011 and '12. They did not wait, choosing to tell him two days after the season ended. "The Raiders express gratitude to Tom Cable for his contributions in his four seasons as an assistant and as head coach of the Silver and Black," the team said in a statement. The Raiders finished 8-8 this season despite being undefeated in the AFC West. It was their first unblemished mark in the division since 1976, but Oakland has lost four of six since a three-game winning streak put it on the cusp of the playoff picture in Week 10.
