Recently it occurred to me while taking an overview of the Raiders new coaching staff just how impressive it is. Starting with Defensive Coordinator Paul Guenther and on through a staff filled with extensively experienced coaches, many of whom made lateral moves to join Jon Gruden’s new staff.
One coach that was not mentioned among them was new Secondary coach Derrick Ansley. Not because he isn’t an impressive hire, but because he is making the jump from college to the pros and therefore making a case for his experience was difficult. Not like guys like Guenther, Special Teams Coordinator Rich Bisaccia, Defensive Line coach Mike Trgovac, Offensive Line coach Tom Cable, and Wide Receivers coach Edgar Bennett.
