Al Saunders to remain with Raiders as senior offensive assistant coach
ALAMEDA, Calif. - Former offensive co-ordinator Al Saunders will remain on the Oakland Raiders coaching staff as a senior offensive assistant.
The team announced Wednesday that Saunders will be on new coach Dennis Allen's staff in 2012. Saunders was offensive co-ordinator under Hue Jackson last season.
The Raiders had previously hired Greg Knapp to be offensive co-ordinator even though Saunders was still under contract.
