The Raiders have signed head coach Jack Del Rio to a new four-year contract that locks him up through the 2020 campaign, the club announced today.

“The Raiders have torn up Jack Del Rio’s original contract and rewarded him with a new four-year deal,” said Raiders owner Mark Davis in a written statement. “We are excited to continue building on the strong foundation that has been established and this is a significant step in achieving that goal.”
As Davis notes, this is a completely new contract for Del Rio, who was already signed through the 2018 season. Reports last month indicated Oakland intended to start negotiations with Del Rio, who just completed his second season as head coach, soon. Del Rio led the Raiders to a four-win improvement during his first go-round as coach in 2015, then took the Raiders back to the postseason for the first time in 14 years this January.
The 53-year-old Del Rio won 12 games for the second time in his career, and although he has yet to win a division title in 10 years as a head coach, the Raiders came close to accomplishing that this season after failing to sniff such a perch in years.
DMC. Decent Middle Coach.
YAAT. You Are A Troll.
N-O. No. I’m just the smartest.
D – you keep saying – O – the pats are the – O -goats yet they’re – S – tied for 4th in – H – total championships! Know your history son!!!
Look at recent history son! Pats rule the NFL! Nothing will ever change!
Num1TrollPatsFan4Lyfe….EF recent history. Look at the entire history! The Pats are far from ruling the NFL son! They have quite a ways to go catch Packers, Bears and Giants! Troll!
Steelers have most idiot. Then Cowboys/49ers/PATRIOTS.
Pre Super Bowl era definitely does NOT count. Bears have 1 that counts. Giants
It doesn’t count because you say so? Are you f’ing kidding me! Of course it counts tard!! A championship is a championship! Doesn’t matter when it happened!
Those are pretty much fake championships. Slightly better than YMCA adult league championships. You know it too, don’t lie.
You’re a dumbass!
Ha! Keep lyin’ to yourself bud.
On the short bus? I could see that being a possibility…way to go tiger! Keep fighting the odds, your journey is inspiring!
On this site. Buses are nice for ppl who need them. Maybe if you learn to write better, you could fill out an application to drive one?
I’ll give credit where it’s due and tip my hat to Belichick, Brady and the Pats…Tom Brady might be the best QB of ALL time and is at least in the top 3 of anyone who is honest and is putting together a list of top quarterbacks…Belichick is also right up there, I’d say without question in the top 5 coaches of all time…I also applaud your homerism and your unquestioned loyalty to your team but let’s be honest, your days at the top of the food chain are numbered…it ALWAYS happens…dynasties rise and fall…TB12 is 39 years old and Belichick won’t be dawning the ripped sweatshirts and headsets too much longer…the Raiders are up and coming and they have a very good chance at unseating the Pats not only this season if Carr doesn’t break his leg but next season, and the foreseeable future…everything you’ve posted on this site has been blind biased nonsense and as much as I respect you for your dedication to your team and to trolling, I just want to try and help you get a head start on what inevitably happens next to your beloved franchise…decline
Perfect post!!!
You are delusional. The Raiders?! LOL. They scare no one. Beat the Chiefs and Broncos in your own division next year, worry about that before you worry about the GOATs.
I’m pretty sure you’re the delusional one…you obviously have no reading comprehension skills…we did beat the Broncos last year and were right up there with the Chiefs…both of those teams also have more question marks moving forward than the Raiders do because the Alex Smith era is coming to an end in KC and the Broncos obviously need to find their own franchise QB because Siemien didn’t get it done last year and made their defense obsolete…the Raiders have players like Derek Carr, Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper among others that will be getting nothing but better moving forward…if Derek Carr stays healthy I could almost guarantee that they are the ones playing the Pats in the AFC championship game this year…but whatever man, you just keep on trolling along…you have nothing insightful to discuss about football and your act is getting tired, maybe it’s time for you to find a Patriots fanboy site to put yourself to sleep at night to
Oh you’re “right up there” with the Chiefs? And you beat the Broncos who played a backup all year at QB? lol. Both teams will likely progress next year and the Raiders will regress. The Raiders got many lucky breaks (as well as the Cowboys) and that just doesn’t happen every year. Lucky for me, the Pats don’t need luck because they’re the GOATS OF SPORTS.
Many lucky breaks? Can you give some specific examples of their “lucky” breaks?
What the heck. Fire him. Sign Cousins. Heck, offer future 1sts for a real QB.
Nice try…double the trolling l, double the dumb
You have your own opinion and I have mine. I don’t care what you think.

Jacksonville is laughing. The Raiders will learn.
Anyone else tired of the influx of 12 year old children bashing teams and misusing the term goat? Seriously, the league was around long before you started watching. Brady v Montana, Montana wins every single time. He’ll, even the pats coach is a cheap clone of Bill walsh. Get over it, facts don’t lie.
A lot of the Patriots success is due to the weak ass division they play in. 6 weeks a season they have Sunday’s off. If they played in the West, they would be bruised and battered by the seasons end. They only won 51 because Shanahan was a dumbass and should have ran the ball three straight times and kicked a field goal. That is luck my friend. Patriots run is coming to an end very quickly. It was a great ride though, you’ll have memories that last a lifetime.
