Hue Jackson throws ‘fan mail' in the trash

ALAMEDA -- Yes, Hue Jackson gets "fan mail," though it doesn't really qualify as such.More like "suggestion" mail. And more often that not, it's not very kind.Which is why the Raiders' first-year coach takes a certain joy in going through the letters himself, so to speak."I've gotten to where, no, I just tear them up," he said with a laugh. "When I just kind of see the envelope, I know what it is, I just tear it up and throw it in the trash."Earlier in the week, Jackson acknowledged the Raiders' penalty problems were an impetus for fans to write him.
"I get a bunch of letters of people telling me other things I should try, too," he said at the time. "And please, don't send any new ones because those things don't work."Jackson was jokingwe think.
