Ken Whisenhunt

Ken Whisenhunt has withdrawn his name from consideration for the head coaching job of the Oakland Raiders, the Post-Gazette has learned.

Whisenhunt, the Steelers offensive coordinator, spent yesterday in Oakland discussing the job with Al Davis, the Raiders managing partner.

"After coming out here and taking a look, he decided to stay with the Steelers,'' said Eric Metz, Whisenhunt's agent. "To make a long story short, Eric Metz is flying back home to Arizona without an agreement and Ken Whisenhunt is going to stay with the Steelers, a job he loves.

"We came out here, had an enjoyable visit, met with Mr. Davis, and Ken likes and respects him.''
