Raiders had new assistant Clancy Pendergast

The Oakland Raiders made an announcement Monday, saying that they have hired longtime NFL defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast as an assistant without declaring what role the new assistant would play for the team.

Pendergast had spent the previous five years as defensive coordinator in the Arizona Cardinals and helped the team make it to the Super Bowl a year ago. Before walking with the Cardinals, he had worked as an assistant with the Houston Oilers, Dallas Cowboys and Cleveland Browns. He also used to work with the Kansas City Chiefs as a defensive coordinator but was let go last month.

Since the 2009 regular season ended last month, the Raiders have hired three assistants, including Pendergast, offensive coordinator Hue Jackson and defensive line coach Mike Waufle. But by so far, they have not made it clear that if head coach Tom Cable will continue coaching the players wearing Raiders jerseys. There are actually two questions: will Cable return to the Raiders next season to have a job? Or will he be give another job in Oakland?
