2012 Oakland Raiders season

53rd season in franchise history December 2013 March 2026 Oakland Raiders 2012 4–12 3rd AFC West Dennis Allen Mark Davis Reggie McKenzie O.co Coliseum Did not qualify Raiders uniform update 1-03-2017.png Raiders seasons The 2012 season was the Oakland Raiders' 43rd in the National Football League (NFL), their 53rd overall, and their first season under head coach Dennis Allen after he replaced Hue Jackson, who was fired at the end of the previous season. It was also their first full season without the ownership of longtime owner Al Davis, who died on October 8, 2011, and the first season with a non-Davis family member as the general manager since 1972, as Reggie McKenzie was hired from the Green Bay Packers' organization by Al Davis' son Mark on January 10 to be the general manager of the team, and was given full autonomy over the football operations. McKenzie fired Jackson on his first day and hired Allen two weeks later. The Raiders failed to improve on their 8–8 record in 2011, securing them into their tenth consecutive non-winning season and the tenth consecutive elimination from postseason contention. The Raiders also clinched their divisional rank, securing their fifth consecutive season since 2007 which they finished third or fourth. This was also the first time since the 2009 NFL season that the team finished with a record below 8–8. 3 Personnel changes On January 3, local radio show – 95.7 The Game – reported that the Raiders had fired their entire defensive staff following a season with some of the worst defensive stats in franchise history. The radio show claimed that defensive coordinator Chuck Bresnahan had been fired along with all his assistants, among them linebackers coach Greg Biekert, cornerbacks coach Rod Woodson and safeties coach Aaron Ross. When approached for comment, then Raiders' senior executive John Herrera was quoted as saying ' that's not accurate '.Rosenthal, Gregg Raiders deny that Bresnahan has been fired http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/01/03/raiders-deny-that-bresnahan-has-been-fired/ profootballtalk.nbcsports.com January 3, 2012 March 24, 2012 On January 5, a follow-up report by NBC's Pro Football Talk reporter Gregg Rosenthal confirmed that the Raiders would be firing their entire defensive staff. The supposed earlier denial by John Herrera was clarified and that the Raiders had informed all of the concerned coaches that they would not be brought back, but would be required to complete the remaining two weeks of their contracts.Pomin, Ernie Chuck Bresnahan, Rod Woodson indeed out as Raiders' defensive coaches http://bayarea.sbnation.com/oakland-raiders/2012/1/5/2685183/chuck-bresnahan-rod-woodson-indeed-out-as-raiders-defensive-coaches bayarea.sbnation.com January 5, 2012 March 24, 2012 thumb|260px|Oakland playing at the Miami Dolphins on September 16, 2012 On January 6, the Raiders announced that then current Green Bay Packers director of football operations Reggie McKenzie, would become their new general manager.Williamson, Bill Packers executive to be Raiders GM https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/7430468/oakland-raiders-hire-reggie-mckenzie-green-bay-packers-gm espn.com January 6, 2012 March 24, 2012 The hiring was confirmed at a news conference on January 10. McKenzie had spent 4 seasons with the then Los Angeles Raiders as a player from 1985 to 1988. He began his career as a front office executive with the Packers in 1994 as a Pro Personnel Assistant and steadily rose through the ranks, eventually overseeing all of the Packers' scouting efforts and player evaluations as well as being heavily involved in the Packers' drafting decisions. McKenzie will become the first person besides the late Al Davis to hold the position of general manager since Davis assumed the role in 1972.Oakland Raiders McKenzie introduced as General Manager http://www.raiders.com/news/article-1/McKenzie-Introduced-as-General-Manager/14bb5161-8b42-4139-917f-9e691bb6768a raiders.com January 10, 2012 March 24, 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20120305002239/http://www.raiders.com/news/article-1/McKenzie-Introduced-as-General-Manager/14bb5161-8b42-4139-917f-9e691bb6768a March 5, 2012 dead On January 10, at an official news conference introducing Reggie McKenzie as the new GM, McKenzie conducted his first act in the capacity of GM by announcing that the Raiders would be parting ways with Head Coach Hue Jackson after only one season in the job. Jackson had arrived in 2010 as the team's offensive coordinator under then head coach Tom Cable and swiftly turned the Raiders' offense into one of the league's highest-scoring offenses. Jackson was then promoted to the position of head coach after Al Davis had fired Tom Cable at the end of the 2010 season. McKenzie cited the need to start anew as the reason for firing Jackson, stating ' I felt there was a need for change at the head-coaching position, from the top. We're moving into a new era. No disrespect to Coach Jackson, but this was something I wanted to do, start anew.

Allen had been the current division rival Denver Broncos' defensive coordinator. At 39, Allen becomes one of the youngest Head Coaches in the league. As defensive coordinator he had helped turn the Broncos' worst-ranked defense into an aggressive, solid unit in 2011. Allen was signed to a four-year deal and becomes the first defensive-minded head coach hired by the Raiders since the hiring of legendary coach John Madden. GM Reggie McKenzie has promised Allen the freedom to pick and choose his own assistants and have a say on player signings and drafting, input that very few of the Raiders' head coaches had had in the Al Davis era.Williamson, Bill Raiders announce Dennis Allen hiring https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/7510400/oakland-raiders-confirm-hiring-dennis-allen-new-head-coach ESPN January 27, 2012 March 24, 2012 thumb|240px|Raiders cornerback Phillip Adams runs with the ball against Miami, September 16 On February 2, the Raiders announced the hiring of current Houston Texans' quarterbacks coach Greg Knapp as their new offensive coordinator.

Herrera had joined the team in 1963 as an errand runner and would go on to hold a position of considerable power within the organisation that saw him oversee media and public relations as well as personnel and business decisions. He formed a close friendship with Al Davis over the years. Noted for being a controversial figure at times, he was characterised by his confrontational personality, culminating in a physical exchange with San Jose Mercury News columnist Tim Kawakami in 2008.
