The Facts: The Raiders are doubling down on Jack Del Rio. The team announced Friday that they have given their head coach a new four-year deal, signing him through the 2020 season. "The Raiders have torn up Jack Del Rio's original contract and rewarded him with a new four-year deal," Raiders owner Mark Davis said in a statement. "We are excited to continue building on the strong foundation that has been established and this is a significant step in achieving that goal."

Diehards Line: Del Rio coached the Raiders to a 12-4 record in his second season in Oakland, ending the franchise's 14-year playoff drought. Del Rio spent nine seasons as the Jaguars head coach, compiling a 68-71 record before he was fired in the middle of the 2011 season. After three seasons as the Broncos defensive coordinator, the Raiders gave him his second head-coaching opportunity by offering him a four-year deal before the 2015 season. He finished 7-9 in his first season with the team, an impressive achievement considering the Raiders had seven combined wins in the previous two seasons. If Del Rio makes it through the entire 2017-18 campaign, it will be the first time a Raiders head coach has survived three full seasons since Jon Gruden from 1998-2001.
