Jackson back for seconds

Raiders offensive coordinator Hue Jackson is interviewing for the 49ers' head coach position today, a league source said this morning (and first reported by Matt Maoicco, the best I can tell from Twitter's timeline).

Just think, if Mike Singletary had just hired Jackson in the first place, maybe Jackson wouldn't be interviewing for his job today.

Jackson interviewed for the 49ers' offensive coordinator in 2009, but Singletary went with Jimmy Raye instead. And be sure, Jackson wanted the job as a then-quarterbacks coach in Baltimore.

"It was a position I seriously did consider. It just didn't go right at the time," Jackson said before the 49ers and Raiders played in October. "Obviously they went in a different direction and I was back in Baltimore and and wished him well, and I'm here in Oakland."

"That was their call at the time. And that's OK. I feel I'm where I'm supposed to be now, here with the Raiders getting this organization where it needs to be."

The unanswerable question is, could Jackson have gotten the 49ers where they needed to be under Singletary's heavy hand? Read More 'Jackson back for seconds' »
