Oakland Raiders Retain Ken Norton Jr. and Fire Marcus Robertson

The Oakland Raiders made multiple coaching changes Tuesday afternoon, starting with the decision to not renew the contract of offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave, and promoting QB Coach Todd Downing in his place. But the news didn’t stop there.

Jack Del Rio and the team have decided to retain Ken Norton Jr. to be the defensive coordinator for at least one more year — which will be his third with the team in that role. But they are not retaining the defensive backs coach — Marcus Robertson — who has been fired.

Del Rio often voiced his displeasure with the secondary in post-game press conferences, being critical of the big plays the group would allow.
