Tom Cable is back with the Silver and Black.
The Oakland Raiders brought back Tom Cable to be their offensive line coach days after he was fired by the Seattle Seahawks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Cable was the Raiders' head coach in 2009 and 2010, but upon being fired, then-team owner Al Davis criticized him in the media.
Before he was promoted to head coach, Cable was the team's offensive line coach in 2007 and 2008.
The Cable hire could come with some added benefits.
4. Cable’ return definitely increases the odds of Marshawn Lynch returning, whatever those were. Those two have a strong relationship
