ALAMEDA, California -- Former Oakland Raiders coach Lane Kiffin filed a grievance with the NFL on Wednesday to claim the lost salary he maintains he is still owed by the team.

Kiffin was fired late last month for cause because of what owner Al Davis described as acts of insubordination and lying by his second-year coach.

Kiffin was still owed about $2.6 million (euro2 million) from the three-year contract that he signed in January 2007. But Davis has refused to pay, leading to the grievance. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will ultimately rule on the grievance, but there was no date for a hearing scheduled.

Davis also refused to pay the remainder of Mike Shanahan's salary when he fired him four games into the 1989 season. Shanahan won a grievance, but Davis has refused to pay him the approximately $300,000 that the Denver coach claims he's owed.

Kiffin's agent Gary Uberstine declined to comment because of the pending litigation. The Raiders had no immediate comment.
