    Raiders defensive coordinator Chuck Bresnahan won’t be back next season, a source close to the coach confirmed. Yahoo’s Mike Silver reported this morning that Bresnahan and cornerbacks coach Rod Woodson, linebackers coach Greg Biekert and safeties coach Kevin Ross have all been told that their contracts will not be renewed when they expire on Jan. 15. Chris Townsend of 95.7 The Game was the first to report the firings Tuesday, but the Raiders denied the report. The Raiders had the 29th-ranked defense in the league this season and had franchise worsts in touchdown passes allowed (31), yards per carry (5.1), yards passing (4,262) and total yards (6,201), while giving up the third most points (433) in team history.

    Good, the defense was just terrible this year after being acceptable last year. I wouldn't have minded keeping Woodson around another year.

    Because so much work goes on between the last game of the season and the Superbowl Sunday, when a team misses the playoffs.
