The Oakland Raiders announced that Chuck Bresnahan has been named defensive coordinator.
"The fact that I’ve had the chance to be in defensive meetings with Chuck and watch him lead the defensive staff made it an easy decision to name him our defensive coordinator," Raiders head coach Hue Jackson said on Monday. "I am impressed with his passion, attention to detail and energy. This staff gives us the opportunity to have one of the top defenses in the NFL."
Bresnahan was the Raiders' defensive coordinator from 2000-03, a stint that included the team's appearance in Super Bowl XXXVII. Prior that, Bresnahan coached the Raiders defensive backs.
Replaced in 2003, Bresnahan spent four seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, including three as defensive coordinator.
The Raiders hired Bresnahan as a defensive assistant last week.
"This is an incredible opportunity for me to come back to the Raiders and work again where we had so many great years," said Bresnahan. "It’s so exciting to be reunited with Hue Jackson because of the passion and energy that he brings. I’m also thrilled to be a part of this talented staff, many of whom I’ve shared previous success with."
