Jackson was let go by the Raiders after his team went 8-8 during the regular season. Oakland would have made the playoffs with one more victory, but the team went 1-4 down the stretch, including a 20-point loss to the Miami Dolphins and a 30-point loss to the Green Bay Packers. They capped their season with a 38-26 loss to the San Diego Chargers, sending the Denver Broncos to the playoffs from the AFC West.
