Raiders adamant Jackson is O-coordinator candidate
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Friday, January 22nd, 2010 at 12:38 pm in Oakland Raiders.
A pair of Baltimore area reports have Ravens quarterbacks coach Hue Jackson in Oakland not only as a candidate for offensive coordinator, but head coach as well.
Both the Carroll County Times and the Baltimore Sun reported Jackson could ascend to the top job.
Raiders senior executive John Herrera, however, said the Raiders have conducted no outside interviews for job of head coach.
“I would vociferously deny that any head coaching interviews are taking place while (Davis) is still meeting with Tom Cable,” Herrera said.
Jackson’s contract status is not known, but he was allowed to interview for the 49ers offensive coordinator job last season while under contract with Baltimore. Coach Mike Singletary even brought back Jackson for a second interview, but in a mild surprise, instead selected Jimmy Raye to run the 49ers offense.
In other news, the Raiders are finalizing an agreement with Mike Waufle to return as defensive line coach. Waufle coached at Cal from 1992 through 1997 and with the Raiders from 1998 through 2003. Swept out with much of Bill Callahan’s staff, Waufle was hired by the New York Giants, with his shining moment coming following the 2007 season when his unit dominated the unbeaten New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.
Waufle was fired following the 2009 season as part of a Giants shakeup. He has almost exclusively coached four-man lines, which seem to rule out any chance the Raiders would switch to a 3-4 defense.
The Raiders made no announcement regarding the status of incumbent defensive line coach Dwaine Board, but chances are he will be in Mobile, Ala., for the Senior Bowl next week, still under contract with Oakland but with permission to look for another job.
The contracts of assistant coaches Aaron Pelch (special teams), Rich Scangarello (quality control offense) and Bert Leone (quality control defense) were not renewed, although it’s not inconceivable they could return unless they find other employment first.

Seems like some competant guys.
Is Al actually developing a staff?
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:41 pm

Wish he was an OC, Waffles always get JR’s attention…

Why is Cable still here?

HuJack and Waufle. The new menu.

I think Jamarcus is pretty good at force feeding himself!
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:47 pm
What does he have to work for he already has the money?
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:47 pm
Can’t blame the old man for sticking with JaMeatloaf. As awful as he is, the Raiders have a large amount of cash invested in him. Look at Gallery, Huff and even Nnamdi, and they all turned out pretty good. I hope Davis’ patience pays off with that bum, or it’s going to be another long season in 2010.
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:47 pm

His answer, “investors our unsure of America’s commitment to capitalism”
Zingerrrr!!!!!!!!!
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:49 pm
If Cable is reatined (please Al noooo) I wonder what Jackson and Waufle will think of Tom Cable’s Patty-cake Training Camp part II?
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:49 pm
retained….
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:50 pm
You mean the 2 days of ‘walk throughs’ that had the O-Line firing on all cylinders? what a JOKE!
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:50 pm
Dakota Cables patty cake training worked out just fine we had no mistakes or penalties our first two games…..NOT!

Hue Jackson was Mike Vick’s coach at Atlanta I believe. The Niners almost hired him and everyone thought they were going to go after Mike Vick. If we get Hue, then dont be surprised to see the Raiders make a play for Vick.
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:05 pm
Herrera should try a different tack. Instead of “vociferously denying” every little thing which only makes people believe he is lying, he should say
“Hmmm…haven’t heard that one.”
“Didn’t know that.”
“Really?”
“Wow, you people sure come up with some humorous stuff.”
“Him? Are you sure?”
“Huh, first I’ve heard of it around here.”
and then walk just away leaving the media people scratching their pointy little heads.

I think Buffalo got him for one year, fairly cheap. He is an azzhole and I can’t stand him, but his work ethic is legendary and is certainly better than anything we have here.
I’m sure Al will look into it.

“Tom Cable was unaware of Hue Jackson’s interview with the team, according to CSN California. Cable was asked about his thoughts on Jackson and Cable replied ,”Who?” If Cable is not being told that the Raiders are interviewing assistants then is he future in doubt? Many have doubted his return since the loss to the Ravens, some have doubted his return because of a 5-11 record and saying this team could have reached the playoffs without Russell starting for so long. But not knowing of interviews for staff, doesn’t sound good for Cable’s future.”

It takes Davis no time at all to make the decision to ship Gruden out. Meanwhile, he has to think about Cable.
Gruden brought us 2 straight division titles. Cable takes a 5-11 team to 5-11. But Al’s not sure. Has to think about it. Didn’t have to think about Gruden. He had to go. Offense was so boring.

LOL, Chris johnson is pathetic, he couldnt get a backup job with any of the playoff teams, he might be okay to be a nickel or dime
———————–
You’re crazy. Chris Johnson is one of the better No. 2 CBs in the league.
- 13th in the NFL in passes defensed with 21 (Huff in his breakout season was 2nd on the team with 17).
- 68 tackles was 2nd among the Raiders secondary (behind Branch).
- 3 INTs tied for team lead (with Huff).
- Covers the other team’s star WRs as much or more than Nnamdi since they each just stick to their own sides of the field.
- Speaking of coverage, what do Vincent Jackson, Dwayne Bowe (twice), Brandon Marshall (twice), Andre Johnson, Steve Smith (NYG), DeSean Jackson, Braylon Edwards, Chad Ochocino, Hines Ward, Santana Moss and Derrick Mason have in common? They were all held under 100 yards receiving by CJ and the Raiders this season. As a matter of fact, it wasn’t until Week 8 in the 2nd SD game that a WR went over 100 yards on us when Jackson had 103. Santonio Holmes and Miles Austin were the only other two to go over 100 yards receiving in a game against us.
Of the remaining playoff teams, outside of Revis and Antoine Winfield, there may be a corner or two in CJ’s class, but none are better.
Yet you insist that CJ is a major liability for this team?
Get a clue dude.
_______________________________________________________
you say get a clue, well LOL… you get a cleu, why would a team need 100yds of recieveing when they have our asses under control??
if CJ is that great, why dont you look at how many penalties he got, how manny times did we stop teams on 3rd down only to see CJ eff’up and let them get a 1st down (both on stupid plays and stupid penalties by CJ)

With JaMarcus Russell’s work ethic and immaturity already being a big problem, I think the last thing we need to do is bring in T.O. That would be a time-bomb just waiting to explode. At this point I think we just have to hope Schilens & Murphy can step their game up next year, & have D-Bey get acquainted with a jug machine for the entire off-season.
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:34 pm
Owens can take Heyward-Bey under his wing the same way he did Miles Austin.
his teammates in Dallas loved him.
Jason Garrett & Jerry Jones’ son didn’t …
I think if Hue Jackson can handle Chad Johnson, he can handle Terrell Owens

So who can name the last #2 CB that the Raiders had that is better than CJ?
I agree that he’s one of the better #2’s in the league. The numbers do speak for themselves. Anyone lined up opposite Nnamdi is going to get tested play after play. Sure, CJ got beat at times, and even key times on occassion, but we can do a lot worse. Imagine Routt in that same situation!
Also bear in mind that he doesn’t exactly have a QB initimidating front 4, so without serious blitzing to put him on an island, he’s asked to cover for longer than any CB would like.
All things said, we could do a lot worse — and have in recent years — than CJ. And in this day and age of the NFL, you can’t have stars at every position. If you can have a select few, and no underperformers in a surrounding cast, that’s about the most that you can ask for.
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:47 pm

Plus scholarship player Justin Fargas. Went from Top 10 to like 25th under Cable. not just DMC, but Bush & Fargas too. Is DMC to blame for the fumbles? Yes. how about his injuries? No. how about the play calling? No.
McFadden might been special for another football team. hard to tell.
DMC lost RB Coach Tom Rathman too, who was replaced by TE coach Kelly Skipper
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:50 pm
I sure hope Rolando McClain runs a 4.3 at the combine so we can take him with 8th pick. Then maybe Ciron Black can run a 4.5,,that way we can fufill Al’s need for speed,,and without him knowing it, we would actually be addressing positions of need.

Dakota I know Ellis and Dorsey are not doing well, I was just being honest about who I wanted that year.
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:55 pm
You can get all of those and DMac is still not an every down back. He’s a guy that can really fast, really far down the field — if the holes are big enough. He’s not a guy that can break tackles and make yards where they are not.
Even with Minnesota’s excellent OL and scary passing attack, AP still has to apply his magic to turn 2 yard runs into TDs. Unfortunately, other than having the 5th gear once he breaks free, that’s the only magic that DMac shares with AP. Or most other every down backs for that matter.
So I’m not giving up on DMac yet either. I’m just calling him what he is: another Michael Bennett type back. Useful for change of pace and splitting out to create mismatches. Not very useful for pounding between the tackles on 1st and 2nd down.
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:55 pm
Looking back, Ryan Clady would have been great. I remember one person that brought him up a couple of times…not many thought he was worthy of a top-10 pick though.
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:56 pm
To would be ‘PERFECT’ for what ails this team…Someone who would get up in JR’s GRILL and Challenge him to a fight after he missed a wide open TO, multiple times during game 1…

Let’s not forget that “sleeper” pick, Vernon Gholston. He turned out to be a stud too.
Then again, I think that he still has a lot of upside. But he doesn’t have the excuse of a weak surrounding cast.
And for the record, in 08 I was advocating to trade down with the Cowboys for the two low 20’s first rounders and use one to take Felix Jones.

If McFadden had the Vikings O-line & Peterson had the Raiders O-line, chances are DMAC’s stats would be a lot better than APs. We all know AP is a better Rb but the Vikes actually have an legit NFL O-line & uses a NFL playbook not an AFL playbook.

two problems with this.

at least the peeps saying “draft McFadden” were presenting a realistic option!
and Dakota is right. nobody wanted Clady until he started tearing it up in Dungver. then all of a sudden 50 people prior to the draft wanted him? get real.

January 22nd, 2010 at 2:06 pm
When I wanted to draft McFadden it was back when we had a coach with a brain (Kiffin) and the o-line was actually good and Russell was supposed to be special.
Instead, McFadden ended up with Tom Cable, who he actually had to draw plays in the dirt for, an o-line that fell apart thanks to Cable’s support of guys like Harris and Satele, and Russell proved to be worthless at keeping the defense honest.
But step one will take place once Cable is gone, then we will draft/sign some real o-linemen and with a decent QB in 2010 McFadden will be fine.
No worries….unless Al fuks it up AGAIN.
January 22nd, 2010 at 2:06 pm

January 22nd, 2010 at 2:10 pm
No, Dmac couldn’t do what AP is doing with the Vikings. He is much easier to tackle, and doesn’t have the same vision as AP. AP plows people over and makes them miss.
McFadden is a lot like Russell in that he doesn’t seem to have the ‘vision’. I.e. he isn’t able to see a lot of things and how the play is developing. He just runs to a place and if it’s open then great and if not, then he falls over.
McFadden would have more yards with the Vikings than he has here though.

And, in your own sick twisted logic, for good reason. Because it’s the only prayer you have of Obama losing in 2012…the country being blown to pieces and no longer existing.

Rich: “I like the Goose question! How about Brooks? The meeting was about Barrett Robbins and that he wouldn’t play in the game. Nobody played well and we got out coached…that’s why we lost. I would like to think that we would have won multiple Super Bowls if Al wouldn’t have run Gruden off. Huge mistake and things were never the same after he left!”
Later on when asked if he thought we had a chance while playing with Jamarcus:
Rich: “If your QB is not the smartest and hardest working guy in the building (Brees, Brady, Farve, Manning) you have NO CHANCE. You tell me?”

Minutes later, the locker room door opened. Journalists entered. To our left, the players were silently dressing at their lockers. But to our right, Harbaugh was standing between Al Davis and a wall. Neither the wall nor Davis was budging. Davis was inches away from Harbaugh’s face, angry about the Tuisasosopo interception.
“I thought you told me that you were teaching him how to throw that pass over the linebacker’s head!” Davis said, although I am leaving out the profane adjectives between some of those words. Davis kept up this lecture for quite a while, with impressive saltiness.
And what was Harbaugh’s response? Well, he couldn’t go anywhere. So he just kept repeating: “Yes, Mr. Davis. Yes, Mr. Davis. Yes, Mr. Davis.”

Cable’s status with Raiders still in limbo

ALAMEDA, Calif.—Tom Cable’s status as Oakland Raiders head coach is still in limbo almost three weeks after the end of the regular season.
Cable has been talking with owner Al Davis about his job since the season ended Jan. 3. Senior executive John Herrera says those talks will continue “until it comes to a resolution.”
Davis has also been talking to potential assistant coaches. He met this week with Baltimore Ravens quarterbacks coach Hue Jackson. Herrera denied reports in the Carroll County Times and the Baltimore Sun that Jackson was also interviewing for the head coaching job.
Cable’s status is in question after he went 5-11 in his first full season as coach and failed to develop JaMarcus Russell into a legitimate NFL quarterback.
+++++++++++++++
Al, you had reservations about Cable before you hired him last year, and you have reservations about him today. Go with your gut and fire the POS.
Then let someone else hire the next HC….

And here goes the politics again . . . so let’s look at relevent facts:
During the last 6 years of the Bush administration:
- Raiders lose at least 11 games a season
During the first year of the Obama administration:
- Raiders lose at least 11 games
There is no change people! Politicians are politicians. All the rest is just smoke and mirrors to give the masses a reason to have useless debates between two unbudging sides so that they can all feel better about their own warped set of values.

Wrong as usual. I am not speaking for the entire blog. I am just reading what others have written. Do you NOT feel you are the most shat upon person posting on this blog other than richochet? Or is brownstains some version of a mistype?

Seymour, do you still think Russell is a “Bonafide NFL Qb” ?

The Raiders have predictably denied multiple reports that Ravens quarterbacks coach Hue Jackson was interviewing for the Raiders head coaching job.
“I would vociferously deny that any head coaching interviews are taking place while [Al Davis] is still meeting with Tom Cable,” Raiders senior executive John Herrera said.
Both reports about Jackson came from Baltimore, so it’s not a stretch to say that people close to Jackson believe he’s got a chance for the top job. The Raiders say Jackson was just meeting for the offensive coordinator job.
NFL Network’s Mike Lombardi said that Jackson’s meeting was more “exploratory” and that Cable was set to meet with Davis again Friday.

OakGlen, why bother asking me? You claim to know what everybody says and thinks so why have a debate?
At least I dont hide behind screen names like a busta…lol

Why can’t the Raiders just announce that Cable is staying? This is just like Kiffingate. The Raiders kept saying that nothing had changed regarding Kiffin’s job duties, so fans thought nothing was wrong. But they wouldn’t just flat out say that everything was fine with Kiffin and that he would remain coach for one more year. The reason they didn’t do this is simple: He wouldn’t be coach for one more year. He and Al were certainly clashing and the kid was on thin ice. So, I have no reason to believe that the Raiders lack of a guarantee that Cable will be around one more year is for any other reason. Saints just scored again on my Madden simulation, btw. Bush has over 300 yards. So realistic.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:02 pm
What’s up Raider N-A-T-I-O-N!
Another suspense filled off season! As “old” as this is getting, at least there is “new” hope. Unfortunately hope is not a plan.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:03 pm
Kell isn’t the reason the Raiders lost 11 or more games for 7 years straight, you guys. Misdirected anger? Saints just scored again.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:04 pm
42-14 saints on my madden simulation. early 4th quarter. Saints just picked another one off.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:04 pm
Saints are still throwing the ball. ha ha!!
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:05 pm
Saints are running a spread, up 42-14 in the 4th. I love Madden.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:07 pm
Kell, you could be in here all day praising Al Davis and they wouldn’t have a problem with you. Don’t believe their excuses for harassing you. You know why they’re really doing it.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:09 pm
Of course I do MR.

I would prefer to see N’awlens vs. the team coached by the smart Ryan twin, in the SB. Than the two weeks of ball washing of Peyton, and ‘ol #4. Leading up to the game. It will be unbearable.
Cable, still has the gig. Right?
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:35 pm
People who are loyal to Al Davis at this point in the game are not much better than people loyal to Bin Ladin. I’ll bet you that most people loyal to Davis today would kill for him, if asked to.

Hope for Haiti? Telethon.
as for humans, each land or country has and must deal with its own karma.
I cannot say precisely why after Toussaint threw out the French in 1810 that Haiti has been the role model for beleaguered and f#cked up places.
The island of Hispanola had some 400,000 Arawaks as inhabitants when the prick Cristoforo Colombo became guv. His soldiers would use the indigenous population as target practice and within a few years the Arawak were no more.
So, the island has a shytty karma, but then why is the Dominican Republic which is two-thirds of the island not inflicted with the same crap as Haiti? A voodoo reflection perhaps, but still a mystery.

raiderzmaverick hit this %100 correct
McFadden is a lot like Russell in that he doesn’t seem to have the ‘vision’. I.e. he isn’t able to see a lot of things and how the play is developing. He just runs to a place and if it’s open then great and if not, then he falls over.
McFadden would have more yards with the Vikings than he has here though.
—————————————————————————
mcfadden = skinny legged runner that can’t break tackles.
No vision at all reading blockers or defenders in open field.
As for his breakaway speed? he been caught from behind too many times while breaking a a long run full speed. Unless we use him in gimmick/trick plays like Reggie bush. He’ll be worthless.
When he was drafted. I said we’d be lucky if he can be Eric metcalf.
