hue jackson...

Just fired as head coach of the Oakland Raiders.   This comes after the Raiders hired Reggie McKenzie as their new GM.  Let's make it clear- this isn't the offensive lineman who used to block for OJ in Buffalo.  This Reggie McKenzie is an ex-Raider and has had success as Director of Football Operations for the Green Bay Packers.

New general managers like to bring in their own head coach.  And Hue Jackson basically fell apart after the Raiders lost to the Chargers which saved Norv Turner's job with the San Diego Chargers.

I personally believe Jackson should have gotten the opportunity to coach the Raiders next season, but his antics at the end of the season and the trade he made for Carson Palmer which could result into two first round draft choices for the Cincinnati Bengals sealed his fate.
