The Oakland Raiders made a big change to their defense shortly before Thanksgiving. Head coach Jack Del Rio fired former defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. and promoted assistant head coach John Pagano to the same post on Tuesday. It’s Friday and this is the Black Hole Roll Call.
This was Pagano’s first year on the Raiders’ staff. He had been with the San Diego Chargers from 2002, serving as the team’s defensive coordinator from 2012 to 2016. With six games left on the slate, Pagano wants to get back to the basics to fix this sloppy Oakland defense.
