Lofton joins Raiders as unspecified assitant

[SubNoize]

James Lofton has joined the Raiders as and unspecified assistant coach according to multiple outlets from the bay area. The more intriguing part is that an unamed source yet again states that Kiffin has no idea of the hiring and learned from a third party. John Herrera of the Raiders once agains refutes the statement and claims Kiffin knew Lofton would negotiate with Al and a hiring would be made from there.

I tought James Dolan's impact on the Knicks was the most fatal in all of sports, but Al Davis is taking it to a new level.

Every credible source I've heard said that Kiffin was the one who brought Lofton in, Kiffin was the one who interviewed him, and all Al Davis did was show at the end to shake hands.
