After sputtering on the ground last season, the Raiders chose a coordinator to hopefully get their offense back to a power-running scheme suited to star back Darren McFadden. Oakland hired former Jacksonville quarterbacks coach Greg Olson as its new offensive coordinator on Saturday to revive a unit that had its worst production on the ground since 2005. Coach Dennis Allen interviewed a number of candidates, including Norv Turner and Marc Trestman, before settling on Olson to replace the fired Greg Knapp. Olson previously served as offensive coordinator with Detroit, St. Louis and Tampa Bay. In his two years with the Rams, running back Stephen Jackson rushed for at least 1,000 yards in 2006 and 2007, including a career high of 1,528 his first season.
