Quick exit for Raiders coach: Pendergast goes to Cal
Clancy Pendergast will not be working with Nnamdi Asomugha
Clancy Pendergast was added to the Oakland Raiders coaching staff in early February. This week, he decided to bolt the Silver & Black and become the defensive coordinator at California.
The Golden Bears had a vacancy on their staff when Bob Gregory departed to Boise State. Cal head coach Jeff Tedford filled the void with Pendergast and stated, “He has been a defensive coordinator on football’s biggest stage and will be a tremendous asset to Cal football.”
Pendergast has worked for Cleveland, Dallas and Houston before spending time in Kansas City (2009) and Arizona (2004-2008).
Although no specific role was assigned to Pendergast publicly, talked surrounded him working in the secondary with Lionel Washington.
