Bob Wylie, entering his fourth decade of coaching football that includes 18 years at the professional level, joins the Oakland Raiders as offensive line coach.

“Bob is a spectacular teacher, motivator and drill sergeant,” said Oakland Raiders Head Coach Hue Jackson. “His vast knowledge and experience, including last year with a team in our division will really help us as we move forward in assembling a really good offensive line.”

Wylie spent last season sharing offensive line coaching duties for the Denver Broncos. As an NFL assistant with the Arizona Cardinals, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Chicago Bears, he tutored seven offensive linemen who earned Pro Bowl berths. Wylie has also coached tight ends for Cincinnati and the New York Jets.

Before returning to the NFL with Denver, Wylie spent three seasons as offensive line coach in the Canadian Football League with Saskatchewan in 2009 and Winnipeg from 2007-08. During his three seasons as an offensive line coach in the CFL, Wylie was part of two teams that played in the Grey Cup with Saskatchewan (2009) and Winnipeg (2007). He coached players to All-Star appearances at every offensive line position (tackle, guard and center) in the CFL.

Wylie spent 13 seasons coaching at the collegiate level, with the latest stint as offensive line coach at Syracuse (2005-06). He served in the same capacity at the University of Cincinnati (1996), Colorado State (1988-89), Holy Cross (1983-84) and Brown (1980-82) and was offensive coordinator at Ohio University (1985-87). The West Warwick, R.I. native played linebacker at the University of Colorado for three years before transferring to Roger Williams College.

I'm a fan of the Raiders as well, but Campbell is the not our biggest issue in the short term.

I was trying to be a "bit" more optomistic. I know it aint all Cambells fault. I mean hell, there's times Stabler being backed by Plunkett couldn't do any better
Add a new OL and were set...well kinda.

Not completely new... just from center to RT haha. I think Campbell needs a big possession receiver as well, but as far as I know, there aren't any out there that can run a 3.67-40, so we'll never get that.

Doesn't make a bit of a difference, the Faiders will be crap as long as "he" is still in charge.

Come on Al, do something right for a change, bring in a cancer who can actually play sometimes, not just a wash up

Now granted, the man became somewhat a legend in (in very short time) developing players up here in the CFL, but it's like comparing apples and oranges.
At least Al's doing something......and the drama continues

I'm trying to work out the math here, but so far it isn't adding up. Raiders were the #2 rushing team, Broncos were #26. It almost kinda seems like a step backwards. Am I doing something wrong?

Your math is fine Duck.
I like the fact Al didn't wait till the last min for a coach, but man I can't see his vision on this one.
As far as a step back, ahhh yep! I'll agree with ya one this one.
Any word on QB yet, or we just gonna address that one about 2 more years from now after our OL gets someone killed??
