Bill Williamson of ESPN.com reports that an NFL arbitrator has denied a grievance filed by Lane Kiffin against the Raiders organization. Kiffin felt he was owed $2.6 million by the team after Al Davis fired him for cause back in 2008. The Raiders’ countergrievance for lawyer and arbitration fees was also reportedly denied.

Kiffin’s anti-Raider statements and actions ultimately cost him some money. Coaching contracts are guaranteed, but it must have been determined Kiffin violated the terms of his deal in addition to being a lousy head coach.
