Raiders Promote Hue Jackson To Coach

According to ESPN.COM The Oakland Raiders promoted offensive coordinator Hue Jackson to head coach on Monday after he helped the team more than double its scoring output in his first year with the franchise.
Jackson will be formally introduced at a news conference Tuesday -- two weeks after the Raiders announced they were not picking up an option to keep coach Tom Cable.
Jackson was widely considered the leading contender to get the job as soon as the Raiders announced Cable's departure. This is Jackson's first head coaching job at any level.
Jackson was hired a year ago to take over the play-calling duties from Cable and oversaw a transformation on offense. Oakland scored more than twice as many points in 2010 as it did in '09 -- and the Raiders won eight games and avoid an eighth straight losing season.

This was the only right move for Al Davis to promote Hue Jackson to head coach. He needed to keep Hue Jackson at any cost so letting go Tom Cable was the only was to keep Hue Jackson. Hopefully for the Raider Nation this will stabilize the franchise and keep it moving forward. Your thoughts!!!
