The Raiders had two .500 seasons with Jackson as the offensive coordinator and head coach in 2010 and 2011. After he was fired, replacement Dennis Allen went 4-12. The Raiders haven’t had a winning season since.  Image 2 of 12 - Pros and cons of Hue Jackson  6.

Jackson has been an NFL assistant and head coach for 14 seasons, and he’s also been an offensive coordinator, coached special teams, defensive backs, receivers, running backs and quarterbacks. With that wealth of experience, he should be able to compile a good coaching staff.  Image 3 of 12 - Pros and cons of Hue Jackson  5.

Under his tutelage, Bengals’ quarterback Andy Dalton went from near bust to leading the AFC in quarterback rating.

Jackson’s philosophy will align with general manager Trent Baalke’s approach. Both relish the run and want a mauling, balanced attack. That’s what Jackson was all about during his one-year head coaching stint in Oakland. He preaches toughness and dominance, and Baalke loves that.  Image 5 of 12 - Pros and cons of Hue Jackson  3.

Jackson could fire up the faithful, and the faithful is rapidly losing faith after the dismal season and the misguided decision to hire Jim Tomsula. Jackson is the most high-profile name out there (except for Tom Coughlin) and probably the most sought after candidate at the moment.  Image 6 of 12 - Pros and cons of Hue Jackson  2.

Jackson can develop a quarterback and is an excellent game planner and play caller. This means he’s a three-in-one hire.

Jackson is a strong personality, and the 49ers did not react well to Jim Harbaugh’s out-sized personna. However, your coach has to command a room of athletes, so small personalities should not apply.  Image 8 of 12 - Pros and cons of Hue Jackson  And now the cons... 5.

In Oakland, Jackson coached a staff hired by Al Davis. So even though he has a wealth of experience, no one knows what kind of staff he would compile, particularly on defense.

Image 12 of 12 | Pros and cons of Hue Jackson  1. Jackson completely misread what was going on in Oakland. At his season-ending news conference in 2011, Jackson sounded like he would be essential to the organization going forward, maybe even helping Mark Davis pick a general manager. Within a few days, he was fired.  Image 12 of 12 - Pros and cons of Hue Jackson  1. Jackson completely misread what was going on in Oakland.
