Raiders offensive coordinator Hue Jackson is interviewing for the 49ers' head coach position today, a league source said this morning (and first reported by Matt Maoicco, the best I can tell from Twitter's timeline).

Expect Harbaugh to be named the coach tonight or tomorrow of the 49ers. They had to interview a minority coach to satisfy the Rooney rule. By tomorrow they will announce Harbaugh as their coach

I think that harbaugh is going to the 49ers too, But wouldnt it chap the asses of the raiders if they did hire Hue, considering Cable was let go in order to give Hue the job.

Ross is a dumbass.
-
ya, just when it seemed like the Raiders were making progress. bizarre.
-
he is if he keeps Sparano -
They are....nmandi has his own show out here and he said in the least amount of words possible, how dissapointed he and the rest of the team are.

Loved him in Wolverine. That's a good hire right there.

I am too. It's not everyday you see an NFL coach with a dip in on the sidelines.adamprez2003 likes this.

i can imagine the interview
owner: so Hue, thanks for coming to the interview. let's get right to it
Hue: Sounds good to me
owner: So what's your favorite color?
Hue: uh....blue?
owner: oh i'm sorry, the answer we were looking for is red. thanks for stopping by. the secretary will show you the way out -
Funny thing about the Rooney Rule is Leslie Frazier still couldn't be named official HC of the Vikings until the season was over. Even then, they should have another rule that requires everyone to interview a Latino. Ron Rivera pack your bags!

panthers baby!

Al Davis DOES NOT pay head coaches well. He purposely hires no name type coaches so that he can maintain control over everything. Or at least feel like he can. -
Regardless....He'll make more than he will as an assistant. Sure. We all know what's up. He hires
the lowball candidate because...He's lowball...But, you know what? If today, in my job, if someone asked
me...."Hey, would you like a shot at being the boss?"
I'd go... "Hell yes."
If you wouldn't, I don't know what to say to you.
