The coach joined the Seahawks staff in 2011 following two years as the head coach of the Oakland Raiders. Cable was named the 17th head coach in Raiders history in 2009. He led the Raiders to an 8-8 record in 2010, which marked their most wins in a season since the team's 2002 Super Bowl run.
Prior to being the Raiders head coach, Cable served as Oakland's offensive line coach for two seasons from 2007-08. The Raiders boasted a top-10 rushing attack both years.
As a player, Cable enjoyed a four-year career at the University of Idaho, including three as a starter on the Vandals offensive line. The Merced, Calif., native played one season in the NFL with the Indianapolis Colts before beginning his career as a coach.
