OAKLAND, Calif. – The Oakland Raiders retained head coach Tom Cable on Tuesday, officially removing the interim designation from his title more than five weeks after their season ended.

Cable went 4-8 after replacing Lane Kiffin with the Raiders (5-11), who have lost at least 11 games in six consecutive years. Cable, Kiffin's former offensive line coach, rallied Oakland to back-to-back victories to end last season.

Raiders owner Al Davis interviewed a handful of candidates for the job, but never seemed seriously inclined to replace Cable, valuing his organizational loyalty and leadership. Davis spoke to New York Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride and Green Bay[..]istant head coach Winston Moss before sticking with Cable, the former Idaho head coach who joined the Raiders in 2007.

Cable's hiring, to be announced at a news conference on Wednesday, will bring some st@bility to a coaching staff that's already undergoing wholesale changes even with Cable staying in charge. Cable, who represented Oakland at the Senior Bowl in Alabama last month, has argued that keeping him would bring st@bility to a club already on its fifth head coach since 2003.

But several key[..]istant coaches who finished the season under Cable's leadership already have left the Raiders for new jobs, including defensive coordinator Rob Ryan (Cleveland), offensive coordinator Greg Knapp (Seattle), special teams coordinator Brian Schneider (Southern California), running backs coach Tom Rathman (San Francisco) and linebackers coach Don Martindale (Denver).

While waiting to announce Cable's hiring, Davis filled several positions on the Raiders' new staff, hiring a few new[..]istants and retaining several others. Oakland notably picked veteran offensive coach Paul Hackett to be JaMarcus Russell's quarterbacks coach.

With a head coach finally in place, the Raiders can get to work hiring coordinators. They're also deep in preparations for the draft, in which they have the seventh overall pick.

Cable went 11-35 in four seasons in charge at Idaho from 2000-03 in his only previous experience as a head coach before Davis promoted him to replace Kiffin, who was fired Sept. 30 after a series of embarra#sing public disagreements with Davis. Cable spent 2006 as Atlanta's offensive line coach following two years as UCLA's offensive coordinator.

The Raiders responded favorably to Cable over the final 12 games of the regular season, pulling together for back-to-back wins over Houston and Tampa Bay to close another dismal year on a high note. Although 5-11 isn't much, Oakland finished with its best record since 2004, when Norv Turner led the Raiders to the same mark.

Cable follows Bill Callahan (2002-03), Turner (2004-05), Art Shell (2006) and Kiffin (2007-08) in charge of the Raiders, who haven't had a winning season since Callahan led Oakland to the Super Bowl in his first season after replacing Jon Gruden.

Sources: Raiders To Name Coordinators

A few post-Super Bowl notes in the meantime:

– Veteran college and NFL[..]istant coach Ted Tollner is being considered to join the Raiders offensive staff.

Tollner, the 49ers quarterbacks coach last year, was fired on Dec. 30 along with offensive coordinator Mike Martz and running backs coach Tony Nathan by newly-named coach Mike Singletary. He was an in-season hire the previous year by Mike Nolan to[..]ist Jim Hostler with play-calling.

Like recently-named quarterbacks coach Paul Hackett, Tollner, 68, has been a head coach at USC (1983-86) and an offensive coordinator (San Diego, 1989-91, and Detroit in 2005. He has coached wide receivers in Buffalo (1987-88) and been a quarterbacks coach for the Rams (1992-93) and 49ers (2002-04 and 2007-08).

Tollner was the head coach at San Diego State from 1994-2001 with a record of 43-48.

Considered a good coach of quarterback fundamentals, Tollner has worked with the Rep1Sports agency, run by his sons Bruce and Ryan Tollner, in preparing quarterbacks such as Trent Edwards for the NFL scouting combine.

If Al Saunders has indeed removed himself from the picture for offensive coordinator, it’s conceivable Hackett could become offensive coordinator with Tollner taking over quarterbacks, although with their nearly identical resumes it could go either way.


Ted Tollner, a former longtime NFL and college coach, is expected to be named offensive coordinator of the Oakland Raiders, according to National Football Post sources. In addition, the Raiders are also likely to name John Marshall as their defensive coordinator.

Tollner, 68, has 30 years of NFL and college coaching experience and is a former San Francisco 49ers quarterbacks coach, including stints from 2002-2004 and November 2007 to January 2009. His college head coaching stops include USC and San Diego State.

Marshall, 63, spent the previous three seasons in Seattle as the Seahawks defensive coordinator. In addition, he has served as defensive coordinator for the Falcons, 49ers and Panthers.
