Some folks support Tom Cable more than others. It’s been all over the internet.
So how about a Cable poll? Only if you agree to be handed a few Cable facts. Wouldn’t want you to complete the poll without some data to buttress your opinion. What do you think this is, social media?
Record as head coach: 17-27 with Oakland Raiders. Three third-place finishes.
Full title with the Seattle Seahawks: Assistant Head Coach/Offensive Line
Annual Offensive line rankings, by footballoutsiders.com:
2011: 19th in run blocking, 24th in pass protection
2012: 4th run, 20th pass
2013: 9th run, 32nd pass (sure ruined that season)
2014: 4th run, 24th pass
2015: 4th run, 30th pass
2016: 26th run, 25th pass (bad combo)
Data. Not just for Starship Enterprises. Interpretation. Not just for dancers. As in, it’s up to you to interpret how much the presence of Healthy Russell Wilson impacted the 2012-2015 numbers. Or other such puzzles.

Field Gulls is not a groupthink haven. It is not a pollyannic positive place. It is not run by or frequented in large part by naïve people who cheerlead the front office no matter what. The thread below will prove me right, as FGers will begin to assail Cable’s record while others defend it.
Just try and not get banned today for acting excessively dumb.
