Alienated Raiders assistant coach Randy Hanson told the Napa Valley (Calif.) Police Department that Oakland head coach Tom Cable struck him and broke his jaw during an Aug. 5 altercation, according to NFL.com's Jason La Canfora. Police have been investigating the incident, which occurred at the Raiders' training camp headquarters at the Napa Valley Marriott and sent Hanson to the hospital.FanHouse's Nancy Gay first reported that Cable had attacked Hanson during a coaches' meeting, following up a National Football Post report that Hanson had been in an altercation with an unidentified member of the Oakland staff.
Hanson's lawyer, John McGuinn, told NFL.com that the situation was "a textbook case of felony assault."
Hanson initially declined to involve himself in the investigation -- perhaps because he's still receiving paychecks from the Raiders, as NFL.com points out, despite the fact that he has not been allowed to rejoin the team since the incident occurred.
Within a couple of weeks, though, Hanson hired an attorney and turned the X-rays of his broken jaw over to Napa police, which led to the reopening of the case.
McGuinn told La Canfora that Hanson was just one of several people that police had interviewed, a list that included Cable and three other Raiders defensive coaches.
"Randy answered the detective's questions, but we have no idea whether charges will be coming," McGuinn said. "That will strictly be determined by the police and the DA's office. We have no input. He just answered questions."
La Canfora also reports that several Oakland players have contacted Hanson for help prior to games. McGuinn told La Canfora that the players somehow provided Hanson with a team laptop and called him before their final preseason game and the Week 1 Monday night game versus San Diego asking for "tips."
The NFL has said the matter is under league investigation, but has yet not made any formal decision.
