Raiders New Head Coach Denis Allen
The Oakland Raiders Reportedly Ready To Hire Dennis Allen As New Head Coach:
The Oakland Raiders are apparently zeroing in on a favorite candidate to become their head coach, replacing Hue Jackson who was in Oakland for one season with an 8-8record. The finalist in question is Dennis Allen, defensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos this past season. Allen was already rumored to get a second interview today and apparently that's good enough for Reggie McKenzie, the team's new general manager who came over from the Green Bay Packers. Allen has been a defensive assistant in the league since '02 with the Atlanta Falcons and then the New Orleans Saints. However, it's a quick ascension for a coach who was just in his first year as a coordinator in 2011 and speaks volumes about how well the interview process must have went with McKenzie. No official word has yet been given.
