Wilson: Cable reacts to not being charged

One day after the district attorney decided not to press charges against Oakland Raiders coach Tom Cable after he was accused of assaulting assistant Randy Hanson, Cable broke his silence on the matter during an interview with Raiders beat reporters.

"The whole experience was interesting to me, humbling to me," Cable said. "I'm obviously very thankful that the authorities did the throughness that they did in terms of getting the facts and all that. Other than that, really, my family and friends, really supported me through it. Never let it become a distraction because as I mentioned many times, I just had a lot of faith.

"I knew what happened, and it's just amazing what happens. Like I always tell you guys, I respect what you have to do, but it certainly got made out to be more than it needed to be. But it's done, and now the focus is even moreso on the next opponent, which is the Jets."

Cable complimented law enforcement authorities in offering a detailed explanation of why they decided not to press charges against him.

When asked why he didn't cooperate with the investigation, Cable replied: "Well, because I felt, because if I do that, I'm getting involved. I become part of the turmoil, part of the issue, and it grows. That's not what I'm here to do. I'm here to be the Oakland Raiders football coach and get this team to win and turn it around. That needed to be my focus and I think it was. I think we handled that the right way."
