Raider Nation has been trying to fire Ken Norton Junior for a season and a half now. True to his boxing pedigree, he has deftly bobbed and weaved through your hashtags and angry tweets, and lived to fight another season as the Oakland Raiders defensive coordinator (thus far).
There are a litany of reasons why Ken Norton should’ve been canned the moment the clock struck zero on the Raiders’ season in Houston this past weekend. Statistically, his unit regressed (albeit minorly) between the 2015 and 2016 regular seasons, despite having more talent this year. His players routinely looked confused about what they were supposed to do.
