Raiders: Hiring process underway
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Monday, January 10th, 2011 at 5:10 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders confirmed they’ve begun the search for a new head coach Monday, giving little else in the way of information.
“We have begun the interview process,” senior executive John Herrera told beat writer Steve Corkran, adding that the club would not be providing the names of candidates whether they be in-house or from another team.
The logical first interview subject is offensive coordinator Hue Jackson, already under contract and widely considered the heavy favorite to succeed Tom Cable.
The Raiders announced they weren’t renewing Cable’s option six days ago, the same day they granted permission for Jackson to interview with the San Francisco 49ers. Jackson interviewed Wednesday (which satisfied the NFL’s Rooney Rule mandating that a minority candidate be interviewed), with Jim Harbaugh meeting with president Jed York and Trent Baalke later in the same day.
Jackson’s name has not surfaced as a candidate as yet for openings in Denver and Cleveland. San Diego defensive coordinator Ron Rivera is believed to be the frontrunner to be hired in Carolina.
Raiders owner Al Davis interviewed Jackson extensively last year when he was hired to be the Raiders’ offensive coordinator and play-caller for Cable.

Long live Al!
January 10th, 2011 at 5:12 pm
I just heard today at the gym, from MacArthur Lane, that Denver is very interested in Hue Jackson.
January 10th, 2011 at 5:13 pm
Ed Teach, did you read Jerry’s post, lol
January 10th, 2011 at 5:15 pm
Ha. I did.
Great timing on my part, huh?

He could have added, “We are confident that Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen will do an admirable job of providing those names for fans interested in the process.”

Al, if you are interviewing Coaches, why the hell didn’t you interview Harbaugh?
Too expensive?

any chance u think we could somehow get Tony Dungee ???
January 10th, 2011 at 5:37 pm
I’m like most loyal fans and here we go again is stuck in my thoughts.
I think we were close to being great and hate to see us go backwards.
What do you think about Rob Ryan for the head coach and keep our coordinators where they’re at.
He’s a heck of alot smarter than cable and the players liked him. Might do the least damage.
January 10th, 2011 at 5:37 pm

so now cam isnt a winner and he is way out of his league. damn it didnt take yall long at all. so if he puts up 30+ points by the end of the game and wins what will yall say then? way too much time on some of yalls hands. they havent even played 3 qtrs and already talkin sh!t.
January 10th, 2011 at 6:21 pm
cam cant do sh!t about it he just like Jamarcus didnt here about him until his last year in school not a pocket passer= WR mike vick new he had to become a pocket passer if he wanted 2 b great
January 10th, 2011 at 6:22 pm
Armond they’re too funny for words, they want to see him fail so bad.
So surprise surprise surprise Hue Jackson isn’t the shoe-in everybody thought he was. I told you he’s not going to let anyone know what’s up until he’s ready and it may surprise everyone who he hires. I don’t think anone knows who that will be even Mr Davis at this point so any names you hear I wouldn’t take seriously until after the SB.
Usual names my ass this guy wont be a usual name trust me. He wants someone he knows can get this job done and he aint gonna settle………..period
If Hue gets it he’ll earn it.
January 10th, 2011 at 6:26 pm

January 10th, 2011 at 6:29 pm
Priest,
I agree, but I’ll take it a step further. Any names that come out can’t be taken seriously at all.
The only name that matters is the one that Al announces. Until then it’s all just speculation, because Al sure isn’t telling anybody that’s talking to the media.
January 10th, 2011 at 6:30 pm
the coach dosent matter its the players the coach had nothing to do with RUNDMC going off, jacoby being a beast and Tommy kelly finally earning some of that salary its all about the players period
January 10th, 2011 at 6:31 pm
Back come the Ducks!

KK he’s goiing to have to show that he has a plan better than the other candidates…….period
January 10th, 2011 at 6:32 pm
Agents will know, and tell, period.
January 10th, 2011 at 6:34 pm
adam schefter will tell who the next hc is two days later the raiders will announce it.

I was joking about Cam not having the smarts. Seems that is what everyone resorts to if makes a bad play.
I do think he’s gonna be a good NFL QB.
January 10th, 2011 at 6:36 pm
QUACK QUACK!!!TD
January 10th, 2011 at 6:36 pm
man, it’s dizzying watching these 2 teams in the last 5 mins of play. Wonder if Auburn has enough cardio to keep up.
January 10th, 2011 at 6:36 pm
this is going to be a great game by two great teams and Cam is definitely a great QB despite all the haters.

January 10th, 2011 at 6:47 pm
Impressive drive. 1st time watching Cam play. Looks pretty in control. Did see one issue when he had a guy open for a TD. Well that would be “NFL” open and he decided to run it – maybe not enough confidence. He’s going to have to learn to stick that throw.
January 10th, 2011 at 6:49 pm
#81
I think they can, but in this money driven league/world, it is financially smarter for the player to field other offers and then come back to the team he last played for and see what they offer. Plus the blood thirsty agents will mandate for them to test the water..or blood.
January 10th, 2011 at 6:50 pm
Nice throw Cam. Guy was WIIIIIIDDDDDDEEEE OPEN!
January 10th, 2011 at 6:51 pm
Cam tried to make sure and you cannot do that you can’t catch it for them you have to throw it they have to catch it.
January 10th, 2011 at 6:51 pm
Even the great ones make a bad play every now and then.
January 10th, 2011 at 6:51 pm
Nah. You have to catch that. Went right through his hands. Gotta catch that. Throw could have been better. Maybe he thought the guy was going to stop running bec he was wide open. You just gotta catch that though – no excuses
January 10th, 2011 at 6:52 pm
A polkadot QB makes that play.
January 10th, 2011 at 6:53 pm
I’ve watched CAm here in the South and he used to have a lot more time than this to throw. My biggest concern for him was that he has not been pressured all year. Well Oregon’s quickness has tested him today. This is why SEC QB’s dont do well in the pros. They dont get tested enough via pass rush.
January 10th, 2011 at 6:54 pm
Again, 1st time watching and thats my first drive watching Cam play. Inital impression is he is not NFL ready. Maybe a year or two sitting behind someone he will be. Then he will be DEADLY!!
If we can draft him in teh 2nd I say go for it! And have him sit behind Campbell for about 2 years; but he’s going earlier than that I bet.
January 10th, 2011 at 6:54 pm
You can’t try to catch it for them.
Defense does the job………..great game.
January 10th, 2011 at 6:55 pm

Johnny are you serious dude?? they don’t face pressure in the SEC that’s ludicrous. That is the pressure conference IMO. Cam doesn’t face a lot of pressure because they’re afraid he’ll beat them running and taht is the only reason. That guy can run for 200 yards if you’re not careful. They want him to throw.

YOu dont know wtf you’re talking about. Cam played in the SEC champ game against SC and he had all day to throw back there. Why do you think SEC QB’s other than the Mannings dont do well in the Pros. They make good everything down here except for QB’s.

Night see somebody playing for tips tonight, then see them again as big-time acts.
Yes, my friend…there are some great times to be had in Nashville.
