They need to hire Pat Hill as an assistant at least and the MUST draft Vontez Burfect.
It's the only Raider thing to do.

I am a Raider fan, and I like Hue Jackson. However, I completely agree with this firing. While the team did have many injuries throughout the season, it was a disgrace down the stretch with Jackson at the helm. The entire coaching staff should be ashamed with the outcome of this season. The Raiders melted down and blew big second half leads on several occasions. Jackson's team, who were 7-4 at one point in the season, let the Broncos who lost 3 of 4 games down the stretch win the division at 8-8. Pathetic!! They had a 13 point lead late in the 4th quarter on Detroit and lost. The Raiders had a 3rd and 1 late in that game. You get a first down, and you probably win. Instead of running the ball, which Michael Bush was doing well all day, Jackson calls for a passing play and Palmer overthrows his receiver and the Raiders punt. Then, the Lions go 98 yards with less than 2 min to go and win the game. The Raiders also gave up a 99 yard drive to San Diego late in the 4th in the last game of the season. You take care of business at home and you are in the playoffs.
The Raiders do seem to get some suspicious penalties, but there were way too many stupid penalties. I have no idea how Richard Seymour made the Pro Bowl. Unless, there is a lead the league in personal fouls category. Undisciplined team= soft coaching staff.
Darren McFadden has to take the award for the biggest disappointment in football. This guy can be the next Bo Jackson. At times, he was the best in the NFL. However, he is always injured. I don't know how you miss 9 games with a sprained foot?? Last year it was a strained back?? The year before that, it was turf toe?? The CB and punt returner for the Houston Texans fractured his leg, had surgery, and was back 5 weeks later. McFadden misses 9 games with a sprained foot. Come on!! Again this is a reflection of a soft coaching staff. Hue Jackson should have been in his a$$. After the San Diego loss, Coach Jackson said that McFadden was ready to go if the Raiders made the playoffs. What, how about making the playoffs first!!!
I like the acquisition of Carson Palmer, but Jackson gave away too much and it's going to cost the Raiders with future draft picks.
Even though Coach Jackson was responsible for the improvement in the Raiders offense the last couple of seasons, the rest of the team was a mess. Tom Cable should have never been let go.
Mark Davis has done the right thing with hiring GM Reggie McKenzie, and firing Jackson was the right thing to do.
