The Raiders are fed up with losing and have taken a major step. They have hired head coach Nick Cale from the University of Ohio. Cale's college coaching records are as follows:
2001 Tulsa 3-9
2002 Tulsa 5-7
2003 Tulsa 6-6, Lost Citrus Bowl
2004 San Diego- 3-9
2005 San Diego- 5-7
2006 San Diego 7-5
2007 Ohio 5-7
2008 Ohio 4-8
2009 Ohio 8-4, Won Alamo Bowl
2010 Ohio 9-3, Won Beef-O' Brady's Bowl
2011 Ohio 10-2, Lost Texas Bowl
2012 Ohio 9-3, Won Heart of Dalls Bowl
2013 Ohio 8-4, Won Godaddy.com Bowl

Cale is known for his aggressive style of coaching and is known as a motivator. Cale played in the NFL for the Dallas Cowboys from 1996-1999. He is more than excited to start the 2014 season.

Preseason Week 1
Oakland Raiders 0-0
Minnesota Vikings 0-0

The Raiders were ready to start a new era in their history. They took on the Minnesota Vikings in Nick Cale's NFL coaching debut. Matt Schaub was kmnocked out of the game on the first play, but luckily would only miss the rest of the game. The Raiders impressed on offense, driving down for a McFadden touchdown run. The Raiders continued to impress, as they made it 10-0 on a Janikowski field goal. The Raiders started off the second with ANOTHER touchdown. Later in the second, Janikowski hit another field goal, making it 20-0. The Vikings finally got on the board with a Walsh field goal in the 3rd. Banyard scored the first Minnesota touchdown in the fourth. The Raiders ended their scoring with a late touchdown. The Vikings ended their scoring with a touchdown pass by Ponder, closing a 27-17 Raiders victory.

Final:
Raiders 27
Vikings 17

Notables:
McGloin 20-27, 206 YDS, 2 TD
McFadden 19 Carries, 130 YDS, 1 TD
Ross 7 solo tackles, 8 Tackles, 1 TFL

The Raiders performed very well in this one, and Matt McGloin is challenging Matt Schaub for the starting job.
