The Facts:
The Raiders fired Turner on Tuesday following consecutive losing seasons in which the team managed only one victory in its division. The 53-year-old Turne had known his job was in jeopardy for the last two months after struggling to get the most out of star receiver Randy Moss and an offense that also included quarterback Kerry Collins, receiver Jerry Porter and running back LaMont Jordan.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Raiders have strung together three straight losing seasons for the first time since Al Davis came aboard in 1963 to coach and eventually own the team. Now the aging owner is lleft looking for his third head coach in five years. Turner was not Davis' top choice to replace Callahan, but Dallas offensive coordinator Sean Payton apparently got offered the job then changed his mind and stayed with the Cowboys.
