Some coaches, I guess, don’t work well in certain systems. After owner Al Davis passed away this year, the Raiders became his son Mark’s team. And, yes, they were in a good position to wrest this “weak” division from the others but some things don’t turn out the way we plan them! Hue Jackson praised himself lavishly when he engineered the trade for Carson Palmer. Jackson's current spin: "I didn't make the trade. That decision came from above." Jackson did lose starting QB Jason Campbell early But it’s not like Jackson was the next Bill: Belicheck, Parcells, or Walsh. He was in comparison more like Bill Cullen. Did he get fired after he “lost it” on the team in an emotionally charged rant at the end of the season? That’s hard to say but that’s water under the bridge. Like I said, I’m sure losing 4 of his last 5 games didn’t help. He held his news conference shortly after blasting his team in the locker room, as the Raiders marked their ninth straight season without a winning record or a playoff berth. Jackson made headlines for saying he was "pissed" at his players and chastising them publicly after they missed an opportunity to make the playoffs. Jackson probably deserved better than to get the “bum’s rush” out of town and he may go on to great things in the head coaching ranks. Former Raider QB may have said it best when he said: "All the Raiders had to do was to win on January 1, and they would have been in the postseason. So a disappointing finish. And to make matters worse, Hue Jackson went ballistic at his postgame press conference. Those comments were heard around the league. I think they surprised some people. And not only that, but his comments about moving forward how he would have more control, and he'd want more control and want to do more things in terms of the personnel. I think when you listen to those comments, and you are Reggie McKenzie, and you're coming in you say to yourself, 'Wait a second, this is not how we're going to do business.' And I'm not surprised with the change."
