James Lofton interviews for Oakland Raiders opening

James Lofton, the M50 sprinter who nearly nailed the 400-meter record last summer, interviewed today for the head coaching position with the Oakland Raiders — an arch-enemy of his current employer, the San Diego Chargers. But the Chargers are out of the playoffs, parly thanks to (ahem) some balls fumbled by the receivers James coaches. But nevermind Tuesday-afternoon quarterbacking. James has a great shot at the Oakland job. But I’m afraid for his track career. NFL coaches work 100-hour weeks, and when will James find time to train and compete? Oh well.
