Dennis Allen leads all candidates in Oakland Coach search.

As per PFT the leading candidate for the HC position is Dennis Allen, the Broncos DC.

Marty Morhinwheg and Mike Tice were informed they are no longer under consideration...THANK GOD! Tice and Morhinwheg are fine as assistants and coordinators, yet being a HC and succesful were elusive to them. Tice is best remembered for being busted for scalping $100K in SuperBowl tickets.

Allen may be the coach very shortly, as the coach's tab at Raiders.com is being upgraded and is unavalible.

GO RAIDERS!!!!

ESPN is reporting that we're in negotiations with Allen

Seems like an announcement could come today or tomorrow.

I just hope this guy is it

Denver’s D didnt impress me very much, they ranked like 20th, yet they held a lot of teams so Tebow could get all the credit, I dont know how they ranked that low but Im trusting McK….GO RAIDERS

You have to remember that stats dont tell the whole story.

But I’m with you, I’m a little skeptical about this move as well.

The biggest upside to me is that if we do hire him as our HC we would have an immediate strategical advantage over the Broncos.

Have to be patient tho, only time will tell.

also remeber that Denver was 3 and out for about 3 quartes a game thats a lot of possesions for the other teams

Saunders

We better keep him though, he is proven and deserves a shot of controlling the offense, like when he did in KC and ranked 1st total offense…I think we need to focus on D this offseason, and just try to improve the rigth side of the O-line but thats it on O, we need some serious changes on D
