Cal Hires Clancy Pendergast as DC

Clancy Pendergast is on the move. Again.

The Kansas City Chiefs Oakland Raiders defensive backs coach will take a job with Oakland Cal. This time, he’s headed for the defensive coordinator position.

Coach Jeff Tedford didn’t have look far for his replacement. Pendergast had joined the Raiders as a defensive assistant on Feb. 8, after serving as defensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs last season.

Pendergast spent the past 15 years in the NFL, including five years as defensive coordinator for the Arizona Cardinals. He helped Arizona make it to the Super Bowl following the 2008 season before leaving for Kansas City last year.

Keep an eye on our Cal blog, California Golden Blogs, to see how Pendergast is received at his new position. Our Raiders blog, Silver & Black Pride, will follow the efforts to find a new secondary coach in Oakland.
