With much sought after DB coach Derrick Ansley having left the Raiders to take the defensive coordinator position at University of Tennessee, the Raiders must soon replace him on the staff. Ansley’s departure doesn’t come at a great time for the Raiders considering most NFL coaching staffs have already taken shape and the talent pool has slimmed.
There are a few options for the Raiders however and chances are a coach who has coached with either Gruden or Defensive Coordinator Paul Guenther is a likely starting point.
Jimmy Lake - Current Defensive Coordinator University of Washington
Lake coached on Jon Gruden’s staff from 2006 to 2007.
