From Tim Kawakami from Mercury News, and repeated by Mortenson on the NFL Network (from what I understand):
It happened to Mike Shanahan in 1989 after four games. It could happen to Lane Kiffin in 2008 after two games.
Gone. See ya.
I hear it could happen to Kiffin on Monday or Tuesday, if the Raiders do not put up a half-decent effort in Kansas City on Sunday. Wouldn’t surprise me if people around the Raiders are all but planning the firing press conference–whether it comes next week, the week after or in two weeks.
I don't know how much actual truth there is to whether this will be the game that Kiffin gets let go or not, the article sounds like the Raiders version of Adam Teicher making up a story rather than having actual facts, but theres no doubt Kiffins days are numbered.

On the other hand
I wouldn’t want the Raiders to accidentally hire a quality head coach and accidentally win stuff. That would be bad.

See, it's not our head coach really
It’s the ownership.
We have a quality head coach, but if he’s not allowed to make decisions, well, then…what does it matter?
And yet even in the Raider Nation there are people that follow Davis blindly.
But to the KC fans. Good luck, and I really believe Raiders will win.

Kiffin
If he’s fired, I’d be ecstatic if the Chiefs hired him. The guy’s got ability as a head coach.
To the Raiders fans: you have my sympathy because of your owner. At least with the Chiefs there’s at least a chance our coach and GM get the axe. With Davis you just know he’s not going anywhere until he finally kicks off.
