Despite it being nearly a decade now since he was the head coach, Hue Jackson remains a popular name amongst Oakland Raiders fans who see the now Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator as the man who came the closest to returning the franchise to glory. A coach who was fired after an 8-8 season before the rebuilding process in Oakland viewed by some as a coach who the Raiders never should have been let go and a coach who would have guided the team to the playoffs if he had stayed in charge.
While nobody knows how Jackson’s tenure with the team would have finished had he not been let go after one 8-8 season, the coach himself still hasn’t got over the premature firing by the Raiders.
