Raiders adamant Jackson is O-coordinator candidate

A pair of Baltimore area reports have Ravens quarterbacks coach Hue Jackson in Oakland not only as a candidate for offensive coordinator, but head coach as well.
Both the Carroll County Times and the Baltimore Sun reported Jackson could ascend to the top job.
Raiders senior executive John Herrera, however, said Jackson was in town to discuss the job of offensive coordinator.
“I would vociferously deny that any head coaching interviews are taking place while (Davis) is still meeting with Tom Cable,” Herrera said.
Jackson’s contract status is not known, but he was allowed to interview for the 49ers offensive coordinator job last season while under contract with Baltimore. Coach Mike Singletary even brought back Jackson for a second interview, but in a mild surprise, instead selected Jimmy Raye to run the 49ers offense.
What's Hue's 40 time?
