Tuesday, the Oakland Raiders fired recently hired head coach Hue Jackson.

Its tough to fire a coach after his first season, especially when going 8-8, but the Raiders bringing in a new GM and the end of season meltdown could have had a lot to do with that.

The Raiders failed to make the playoffs after bringing in veteran Carson Palmer at quarterback as well.

Just when it looked like the Raiders had control in the AFC West with a record of 7-4, they lost four of their final five games. The most dissapointing loss was a 38-26 loss to the Chargers in the last week of the season.
