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
I think Saunders will have a stronger hand with a Defense minded HC instaed of Jackson on his back like a short overcoat.

Saunders
Did Saunders have a two year contract? That seemed to be the norm with Al.

Because of the lockout/short offseason...
All the assistants were working under one-year deals last season.

Just for shits and giggles;
Could Dennis Allen bring in Hue Jackson as his OC?
Didn’t McKenzie say he could pick his staff?
Every man for himself...
He could just play Madden like Hue did!
Wouldn’t need to bring him back.

Be nice if they remembered we had TE's instead of using them exclusively on trick plays.

That's assuming the TEs are actually getting open
Have a nasty suspicion they weren’t doing it often enough out there.
I know they were doing a lot of damn blocking.
