[QUOTE="PackFanInSC, post: 130651, member: 598"] [url=http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/OAK/9935246]From NFL.com[/url] Hall of Famer Lofton interviews with Raiders NFL.com wire reports (Jan. 16, 2007) -- San Diego Chargers wide receivers coach James Lofton interviewed for a second straight year for the Oakland Raiders head coaching vacancy. Lofton, a Hall of Fame receiver, met with Oakland owner Al Davis and other team executives to discuss replacing the fired Art Shell as coach. Lofton was one of the candidates last year when Shell was hired to replace Norv Turner. Lofton is the first minority candidate to interview for the job, a requirement under the so-called "Rooney Rule" before a team can hire a coach. Southern California quarterbacks coach Steve Sarkisian, Raiders defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, and former New York Giants head coach Jim Fassel interviewed last week for the job. Lofton, a finalist for the head-coaching job at Stanford that went to Jim Harbaugh last month, just finished his fifth season as an assistant with San Diego, but has no head-coaching experience. After starring in college at Stanford, Lofton was a first-round pick by Green Bay in 1978. During his 16-year career, he also played for the Raiders, Buffalo, the Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia. He finished his career with 764 catches for 14,004 yards and scored 75 touchdowns and played in three Super Bowls with Buffalo. The Raiders are one of three teams with coaching vacancies to fill, along with Miami and Pittsburgh. Atlanta and Arizona have already hired new coaches. ** I wonder if this would hurt or hinder the possibility of trading for Moss. [/QUOTE]
