Top 10 reasons why the Raiders hired Hue Jackson

10) Really thrilled to have found someone to get something out of Darren McFadden, so they can finally have a guy that fantasy owners draft high

9) Jackson was able to make eye contact with Al Davis without flinching or noticing the odor

8) By hiring from within, the team keeps control of the locker room, which is critical for a team without a winning record in something like a decade

7) Very impressed by anyone who could get points out of these skill position players

6) Heard that some other team wanted him, which would be a first in this century for a Raiders hire

5) Believe that he was only allowed to coach by Tom Cable in division games

4) Hiring him avoids having to deal with any Rooney Rule action

3) By the standards of the division, Jackson might be the second coming of Belichick

2) Promised him the gig when hired, with the start date as soon as Cable hit another woman or didn't make the playoffs

1) Wanted to give Jason Campbell the unique opportunity of actually working in the same system for two years in a row
