Jason Tarver

From Schefter on twitter:

Oakland is considering hiring Stanford defensive coordinator Jason Tarver as the Raiders new defensive coordinator.

He just completed his first year at Stanford as their assistant DC and LBs coach.

Going back, when Nolan had his stacked staff that so many people in the league talked about as one of the top assistant coaching staffs in the league, Tarver was on it (in several different roles) and I've read several times in the past couple of years that many in the NFL who know him feel like he has future NFL HC potential. He was actually with the 49ers even before Nolan (since '01) but he started gaining some attention right after Nolan was hired. He's a very well respected guy from everything I've gathered over the years.

One more thing: With the 49ers he routinely volunteered or was sent to the combine to run various combine drills and also was one of the more active members of the coaching staff during Senior Bowl week, even when the 49ers didn't coach the game, because Nolan trusted him so much to do a wide range of things.

The Raiders announced that they have hired him as their new DC.
