    New Raiders GM evaluating Hue Jackson

    New Oakland Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie is contemplating whether to keep Hue Jackson as coach, league sources told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen. Agent Kennard McGuire, who represents both men, has denied that Jackson would be let go.

    McKenzie, a former Raiders player and Green Bay Packers executive, will be introduced Tuesday as the Raiders' GM. He will become the first Raiders executive to hold the title of GM, and sources told Mortensen that McKenzie is contemplating whether he should bring in his own coach, despite the relationship with Jackson.

    Fox Sports reported Sunday that McKenzie and Jackson would meet on Monday.

    McGuire told CBS Sports that McKenzie planned to "come in this week and evaluate the entire organization."

    The 48-year-old McKenzie will fulfill many of the duties handled by iconic owner Al Davis until his Oct. 8 death at age 82.

    Jackson handled many personnel decisions in recent months after Davis' death. Jackson, who just completed his first season as head coach after being elevated from offensive coordinator, pulled off the highly debated October trade for quarterback Carson Palmer after starter Jason Campbell broke his collarbone.

    McKenzie will take over his new job with the Raiders immediately, meaning he will leave the defending Super Bowl champion Packers (15-1) before they open defense of their title. The NFC's No. 1 seed hosts the New York Giants on Sunday.

    Oakland has gone without someone in a true GM role since Davis' longtime senior assistant, Bruce Allen, departed for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after the 2003 season. Allen had been a top personnel executive for Davis from 1996-2003. Davis' son, Mark, is now making many top decisions.

    Oakland went 8-8 this season after a promising 7-4 start, ending its playoff chances by losing four of the final five games. The Raiders have missed the postseason for the last nine years since losing in the Super Bowl after the 2002 season.

          Source: Raiders fire Hue Jackson

          The Oakland Raiders fired coach Hue Jackson on Tuesday, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

          New Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie will be introduced Tuesday. He becomes the first Raiders executive to hold the title of GM, and sources told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen on Monday that McKenzie was contemplating whether he should bring in his own coach, despite the fact he shared the same agent (Kennard McGuire) as Jackson.

          McGuire had denied that Jackson would be let go.

                      Seems like McKenzie wants to install a new culture into the Raiders.

                        I agree, but him honoring Al Davis by trading a 1st and a 2nd for Palmer probably helped in dooming him.

                          Hue wanted too much control in personnel decisions. Supposedly Reggie is looking at Darren Perry and Winston Moss from the Packers coaching staff as new head coach candidates.

                              I think Hue is a great offensive coordinator and can even be a great head coach but he tried to step in and act like he has been with the Raiders forever who deserves a ton of power without having actually done anything.

                              Bottom line is that Mckenzie wants his guy and him and Jackson obviously didn't see eye to eye on personnel decisions. The Palmer trade really hurt Hue because they failed to make the playoffs and finished worse than when Palmer arrived.

                              The D was atrocious and Mckenzie wants to hire a new coach who will pick the staff.

                              Lastly, the penalties were embarrassing. There is no excuse for how undisciplined the Raiders were this year, it showed in every aspect of the game - not just penalties - and that falls solely on the head coach.

                              I just hope that Mckenzie can bring in the right guy.
