There, it's settled. Raiders defensive coordinator Rob Ryan is coming back to Oakland for the 2008 season.
Raiders coach Lane Kiffin said so for the first time Wednesday, something he declined to do in the final days of the 2007 season. On top of that, Kiffin said, the two get along just fine, no matter what anyone has read lately.
