The Oakland Raiders announced Monday they hired John Pagano to be their assistant head coach on defense.
Pagano had been with the San Diego Chargers since 2002, serving as the team's defensive coordinator from 2012 to 2016. Former Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley replaced him Saturday.
CSNCalifornia.com's Scott Bair is a fan of the hire for Oakland:
