Raiders Coach update

The Raiders have moved into the Rooney phase of the coach search, reportedly scheduling interviews with James Lofton and Denny Green. I'm hoping the Green thing is just a pleasantry, but I'm happy to see Davis is bringing in Lofton again this year. He was interviewed last season and was a runner up for the Stanford job. It seems he has something Davis likes and this could be another step to him eventually joining the franchise, but most likely not this year.


As the process drags on, David White at the Chron as a nice cheat sheet on the three main Candidates, Sarkisian, Fassel and Ryan. Basically Sarkisian is the inexperienced one, Fassel the old pro and Ryan the nearest option. Mostly repurposing what we already now, but good to get caught up quickly if you haven't been paying attention.
