Bill Callahan was named Assistant Head Coach of the New York Jets in January 2008.
Prior to joining the Jets, Callahan had been head coach at the University of Nebraska from leading the Cornhuskers to a 27-22 record, the 2006 Big 12 North Championship and two postseason bowl games. Before that, he was head coach of the Oakland Raiders (2002-03), taking the Raiders to Super Bowl XXXVII in his first year at the helm.
With Callahan as offensive coordinator, Oakland led the NFL in rushing in 2000, averaging 154.4 yards a game. That year the Raiders also allowed a franchise-low 28 sacks, then improved on that record by allowing 27 sacks in 2001.
When he took over as head coach for the Super Bowl season (2002), the Raiders led the NFL in passing offense (279.7 yards per game) for the first time in franchise history and also led the league in total offense (398.8).
Callahan’s 2006 Nebraska offense was one of just three schools in what was formerly Division I-A to be ranked in the top 25 in four offensive categories — rushing, passing, total yardage and scoring
