Raiders fans buy newspaper ad calling for return of Hue Jackson

The Raiders aren’t getting much else done, but at least they’re sparking the local economy.
Via CSNBayArea.com, a group of Raiders fans bought a quarter page ad in the Oakland Tribune, asking for the team to bring back Bengals offensive coordinator Hue Jackson as the team’s next head coach.
“Ever since our Super Bowl loss in 2002, our beloved Raiders organization has been having unsuccessful, losing seasons,” the ad read. “In 2010, we hired Coach Hue Jackson as offensive coordinator, who came in to work alongside then Head Coach Tom Cable. He aided the franchise to bounce back from a 4-12 record to an 8-8 record. Hue Jackson was promoted to Head Coach. Our players were motivated and wanted to play for Coach Jackson, and there was a huge shift in culture within the Raiders locker room. That season, our team went 8-8, just missing the playoffs. This success was in spite of the 132-day NFL lockout, losing our starting quarterback Jason Campbell to injury, and then losing our running back Darren McFadden. In addtion, our legendary, trendsetting, trailblazing owner, Al Davis passed away. Mark Davis assumed ownership while grieving his loss and it was Hue Jackson’s loyalty to the franchise that saw him take on more responsibilities.
“Despite the firing of Coach Allen, our record as of print is 0-10 and 0-16 over two seasons! Our team was in a better position with Coach Hue Jackson. Raiders Nation let your voice be heard; hire Hue Jackson in 2015!”
While a group of disgruntled fans buying ads (or airplane banners, or billboards) might not create fundamental change, it at least shows a degree of passion for a team that has done everything possible to kill it.Go Rivers!Comment

Mark Davis plans to be directly involved in the coaching search

The last time the Raiders hired a head coach, owner Mark Davis had little or no involvement in the process. This time around, Davis could be heavily involved.
Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News reports, based on a “brief conversation” with Davis, that Davis plans not to delegate the hiring process to others. Per Kawakami, Davis never felt a “connection” with former coach Dennis Allen, and Davis plans to avoid that dynamic in the coming coaching search.
As to the possibility that the Raiders will hire 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, Davis declined comment, citing the league’s tampering rules. (That was a smart move by Davis; Harbaugh remains under contract with the 49ers through 2015. Or, as a practical matter, through Monday.)
Davis also could be involved in the search for a new G.M.; regarding the status of Reggie McKenzie, Davis said that everyone is being evaluated.
Everyone, of course, except the owner. For several teams, hiring a new owner could be exactly what the franchise needs.
