Raiders coach Hue Jackson didn?t take Oakland?s latest defensive collapse well.
While he occasionally made a weak effort to take responsibility for his team?s loss, Jackson generally threw his team under the bus in a manner you don?t normally see from head coaches.
?I?m pissed at my team,? Jackson said after the game via the Oakland Tribune. ?At some point in time, as a group of men, you go in the game, and you can say whatever you want about coaches, you win the game. Here?s your time. Here?s your time to make plays.
?We didn?t get ?em stopped. And we didn?t make enough plays. So, yeah, I?m pissed at the team. I?m also, like I tell them, I?ll always put it on me, but I am pissed at my team. Because when you have those kinds of opportunities, you?ve got to do it, and we didn?t do it.?
Translation: I?ll always put it on me, except when I totally put it on you guys.
Jackson seems especially upset with his defense. (For good reason.) We wouldn?t expect to see defensive coordinator Chuck Bresnahan back next year.
?Chuck knows how I feel,? Jackson said. ?I?m disappointed over there. I have been. It?s not like we haven?t had conversations. Chuck knows what I feel, and it?s not good enough. . . .?When you play defense in the NFL, man, you got to hunt. You can?t give up 28, 29 points and expect to win.?
Translation: That?s Bresnahan?s defense. Got it?
Jackson?s solution for all the problems: More Hue Jackson.
?I?m going take a stronger hand in this whole team, this whole organization,? Jackson said. ?There ain?t no way that I?m going to feel like I feel today a year from now, I promise you that. There?s no question.?Defensively, offensively and special teams. I aint feeling like this no more. This is a joke. . . . Yeah, I?m going to take a hand in everything that goes on here.?
Translation: I haven?t fully considered all the implications of what could happen when the Raiders hire a personnel man to be my boss.
