Al Davis promoted Hue Jackson because of his offensive mind. He improved the Raiders offense enough to win the head coaching job. That to me says alot.
Jackson spent 2008 and 2009 as Baltimore’s quarterbacks coach under head coach John Harbaugh . In 2008, Jackson tutored Joe Flacco who became the first rookie QB to win two playoff games in NFL history as the Ravens advanced to the AFC Championship game. He helped the Ravens advance to the postseason in both seasons.
Under Jackson’s guidance, the Raiders offense finished fourth in the AFC and sixth in the NFL in scoring (25.6 points per game) also finished fifth in the AFC and 10th in the NFL in total offense (354.6 yards per game) and second in the NFL and AFC in rushing (155.9 yards per game). The Raiders more than doubled their scoring output from the previous year, totaling 410 points. Under Jackson’s offense, RB Darren Mcfadden finished the season with 1,157 yards rushing on 223 carries for a 5.2 average YPC and 7 rushing touchdowns.
If Al Davis was still alive. Hue Jackson would still be a Raider. I think he's is the best OC available. That's all!
That all sounds pretty impressive to me. He can only go up with the Chiefs offense, and last year we won almost every game that we scored at least 13 points in. Just one question. Didn't Ben Roethlisburger win a Super Bowl as a Rookie?
