Bill Callaghan.

And as stated before, Turner lost his QB for the year in 2004. Gannon was (at time of retirement) still playing at a very high level. His replacement was Kerry freakin Collins.

The Raiders under Norv were not as bad as their record suggests. They just had a below average defense (And the trade for R. Moss was every bit as stupid as I thought it would be for them). This year they had the best defense that franchise has had in the last decade, and were the unianimous worst team in the league. It's safe to say that the Raiders downgraded their coaching staff last offseason.
