Rod Woodson joins Raiders staffEmail Print Comments2 Associated Press

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- The Oakland Raiders added a Hall of Famer to their coaching staff, hiring Rod Woodson on Monday as an assistant to coach the team's cornerbacks.

Woodson was one of the most accomplished defensive backs ever to play the game and was named to the NFL's 75th Anniversary Team. He played the final two of his 17 seasons with the Raiders, helping the team win the 2002 AFC championship.

"It's an honor to be back with the Raiders and be able to talk to Raider players about true football," Woodson said. "I'm looking forward to working with the organization and the challenges of the 2011 season."

Woodson had recently served as a television analyst at the NFL Network and Big Ten Network but decided to get into coaching.

Woodson spent the bulk of his playing career with Pittsburgh, starring for 10 seasons on the Steelers. He was named AP Defensive Player of the Year for Pittsburgh in 1993 and helped the Steelers reach the Super Bowl following the 1995 season.

He also spent one season with the San Francisco 49ers and four with Baltimore, winning the Super Bowl with the Ravens following the 2000 season.

Woodson was named to 11 Pro Bowls, the 1990s all-decade team and was named a first-team All-Pro six times as either a cornerback, safety or kick returner.

"I'm excited that we have a Hall of Fame player who is coming back to the organization," coach Hue Jackson said. "I was extremely impressed during the interview process with his communication skills and I'm looking forward to Rod imparting his wealth of knowledge to our players."

Woodson's 71 career interceptions rank third all-time in NFL history. He is the career leader in interception returns for touchdowns (12), and interception return yardage (1,483).

The Raiders still have not announced who their defensive coordinator will be next season. Chuck Bresnahan and Kevin Ross are both on staff listed as defensive assistants without any position responsibilities and could be candidates.

And that "playoff" performance shows you're on the same boat. The Raider > Chiefs this season and that was very apparent. Not saying much b/c the entire division was shit but you have no room to act like the Chiefs were anything more than a glorified ass wart this season.

No, that is a "playoff team". There is a difference.

It's hilarious how many Raider fans swarmed to that post like flies on shit because they were offended by that kind of language even though I totally wasn't being serious.

Pick one of the other. Be an offended uptight internet nanny or make direct death wishes to posters as jokes. One or the other. You can't have both.

So the "hahaha" and the "

Sure the Chiefs made the Playoffs against some shitty teams. When they faced a good team in the Raiders they FAILED!!!!!!!!!!!

And SNR adds nothing to a mostly good Kansas City fan base.

Cheers to those here that are true Sportsmen and can discuss our teams.

Yeah, the Raiders are so good that they couldn't even win the shitty AFC West despite sweeping the division. Get the **** out of here with that.

I'm fine with you believing that. Just show some respect to the AFC West champs while you're here.

The average raider fan would make love to a bag of cold hobo feces, and that's a couple of steps above the online presence they've shown over the last decade.

LOL I've been around here long enough that respect is few and far between here. And there really is no "believing" Oakland > KC. If KC was any way better, they would've beat Oakland the first time when Oakland tried their best to lose and would've put up anything that resembled a game the final week of the season.

Don't give me the "KC went to the playoffs we're the champs we're better" "logic" b/c just b/c you won more games off your schedule (which was substantially easier) doesn't mean jack when comparing these two teams alone.

That's awesome. Get back to us when the Raiders' record actually ends up north of .500.
