Which position did this head coach of 2017 Oakland Raiders sessions play in the 1980s?
Jack Del Rio Jack Louis Del Rio Jr. (born April 4, 1963) is head coach of the Oakland Raiders of the National Football League (NFL). A linebacker for four NFL teams between 1985–1996, he played both football and baseball for the University of Southern California Trojans.
1984 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season The 1984 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season began with the team making efforts to address the problems faced in the disastrous 1983 season. For the first time, the team renegotiated the contracts of players in their option years, which kept discontent over salaries to a minimum. An assistant coach was added to perform the functions of an offensive coordinator. A strength coach was added, which improved the players' physical conditioning in hopes of avoiding the constant injuries that occurred in 1983. A healthy, stable offensive lineup developed the maturity to sustain long drives in pressure situations, and head coach John McKay began to move away from his long-criticized conservative play-calling and open up the offense. This was the first time that the team's offense finished the season ranked higher than their defense. Their offensive output is still the third-highest in team history (as of 2010), and was not matched by another Buccaneer team until 2003.
