Noooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have got to be kidding me. Paul Hackett!?!?!!? The guy who destroyed college programs like Pitt and then my beloved USC in the late 80's and early 90's before embarassing himself in the NFL?? Please let this be another bogus, summer-time desperate sports writer rumor mongering mistake. Then again as a Raider fan, I have to believe only Oakland would do something as STUPID as this. I've already bee through the Hackett disgrace as a Trojans fan years ago. I'm no sure I can take it again with the Raiders.

Hackett has been just about everywhere and you have to ask why he has stayed long really anywhere. Amazing resiliency.

Last worked for TAMPA? Like, how many years ago? I can't follow everyones careers, but at least say how long he's been out of football. Then again.....it is Oakland.

He's been, among other things, a QB coach and "guru," a special consultant, an offensive coordinator (many times) and a head coach (2x?) in college. As they say, a jack of all (offensive) trades and a master of none. But he does keep reemerging.
(PS "...you have to ask why he has *not* stayed long really anywhere.")

At least Hackett & Kiffin have something in common, both were terrible at USC.
