The Raiders are set to add another experienced coach to their staff. According to Vic Tafur of The Athletic, the Raiders are expected to hire Hue Jackson.
The former Raiders and Browns head coach met with the organization last week, and he’s currently “ironing out a role” on new offensive coordinator Luke Getsy‘s staff. We heard that the organization was eyeing Jackson last week, but it was uncertain if he was still in the team’s plans after they had to pivot from Kliff Kingsbury to Getsy.
Jackson has multiple connections to the Raiders. The long-time coach had a two-year stint in Oakland, serving as the OC for a year before replacing Tom Cable at head coach. He went 8-8 during his lone season at the helm and was fired after the season. The 58-year-old also has a connected to head coach Antonio Pierce, who was an undrafted free agent when Jackson was in Washington.
Jackson has held multiple OC titles through his long career, but he’s most known for his dreadful two-plus-year stint in Cleveland that saw the Browns go 3-36-1. After getting fired by the Browns during the 2018 campaign, he had a stint with the Bengals and Tennessee State before being named the head coach at Grambling State. Following two-straight losing seasons, he was fired by the school in November. Now, he’ll land on his feet in Las Vegas.
Pierce has been busy adding experienced voices to his coaching staff. After assisting Pierce during his interim stretch, Marvin Lewis will be sticking with the organization in some capacity.
0-16 incoming.
Hue Jackson with the Raiders in 2011 – 8-8
Dennis Allen in two years with the Raiders (2012-2014) – 8-28
Respectfully as a Browns fan, this man isn’t a good coach of any sort.
Respectfully u don’t know what your talking about. He is definitely a good coach. Maybe not a good head coach.
Now there’s a coaching staff with a lot of experience getting the #1 overall pick.
Banner month for black coaches. Happy black history month y’all I wish them all success
“Nobody could have done what I’ve done” he said…after getting fired for going 1-31.
Of course they are.
This will end bad.
In 2018 Hue Jackson had the rare opportunity to beat the team he was fired from (Cleveland) as many times as he coached them to victory (twice) and failed. He was hired by Cincy and could not even exploit the weakness of the team he built.
This is a very Raiders hire. Congrats for staying on brand!
I assume Rod Marinelli will be brought back to enlarge their 0-16 club.
Maybe if Hue Jackson had been a head coach in the 17 games a season era he could have won a game.
Nah, he probably would have gone 0-17.
Nothing says “Commitment to Excellence” like hiring Hue Jackson.
He was an elite OC in Oakland. He took over an offense that scored under 200 points the year before and they scored over 400 his first year. This is an absolute steal having him at a position below OC, y’all keep laughing
I suppose if this is an absolute steal we will see Tom Brady double down on his ownership investment.
If the Raiders are bring back Hue Jackson maybe there’s still a chance of Aldon Smith making another comeback…lol.
Did this ever happen?
