Cable out, Jackson in

127
An 8-8 record, the Raiders' best record since 2002, was not good enough for owner Al Davis, as he informed coach Tom Cable Tuesday night that the team will not pick up the option in his contract.
Offensive coordinator Hue Jackson will take over as the new head coach, a source close to Jackson said.
Oakland had until Dec. 17 to decide whether to pick up a two-year option in Cable's contract. Cable, who started with the Raiders as an offensive line coach, finishes up 17-27 as head coach since taking over from Lane Kiffin on an interim basis in 2008.
"The Raiders express gratitude to Tom Cable for his contributions in his four seasons as an assistant and as head coach of the Silver and Black," the team said in a statement.
The Raiders finished 8-8 this season despite being undefeated in the AFC West. It was the first time in NFL history a team has gone undefeated in its division and not made the playoffs
