Two women, including his former wife and a recent girlfriend, say that Oakland Raiders coach Tom Cable has a history of violent behavior toward women.

In separate interviews with ESPN’s “Outside the Lines,” Sandy Cable and Marie Lutz say that Cable hit them during relationships dating back more than 20 years.

Cable’s alleged temper has been in the news since August, when Oakland assistant coach Randy Hanson accused Cable of breaking his jaw during an altercation in a coaches meeting.

On Oct. 22, Napa County district attorney Gary Lieberstein said he would not pursue charges against Cable, citing inconsistencies in Hanson’s story that were not corroborated by the three assistants in the room at the time.

But the two women interviewed by “Outside The Lines” say that Cable, in his first full season as the Raiders’ head coach, physically abused them at various times during their relationships.
