49ers interview Hue Jackson for head-coaching job
Jan 10, 2016 at 11:50 PM
• --
Despite multiple reports that he could become the 49ers' next head coach before the clock struck midnight, Jackson, 50, remained the Bengals' offensive coordinator after interviews with the 49ers and Browns in Cincinnati. Jackson did not receive a formal offer from either team, according to NFL Network, and his status could remain in limbo for at least another day: Of their five known candidates, only Kelly and Jackson have previous NFL head-coaching experience, and Jackson's was a one-season stint with the Raiders in 2011. Jackson led Oakland to an 8-8 record — matching its best since it reached the Super Bowl in the 2002 season — but his tenure ended with four losses in his final five games and public statements that didn't endear him to owner Mark Davis. Jackson ripped his team after a season-ending loss to the Chargers that cost the Raiders a playoff berth. Four years later, former Raiders executive Amy Trask, now a CBS analyst, said Sunday that NFL owners and executives have contacted her regarding Jackson, presumably with questions about his divorce from the Raiders.
