Dennis Allen the front runner for the Raiders job
It sounds like the Broncos are going to have to find a new defensive coordinator, as the Raiders have targeted DC Dennis Allen as the number one candidate for their new head coach.
Both Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen of ESPN report that the Raiders and Allen are looking to get a deal done in the next day or so.
Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg and Bears offensive coordinator Mike Tice, already have been informed that the Raiders has found its man and they are no longer under consideration, according to sources.
Allen would be the first Raiders head coach with a defensive background since John Madden was hired by Al Davis in 1969 to succeed John Rauch. He was the DB coach with the Saints, and worked with D-lines in New Orleans and Atlanta before joining the Broncos.
