Dennis Allen, the former defensive coordinator of the Broncos, has been hired to be the next Raiders head coach. The Raiders also interviewed Bears offensive coordinator Mike Tice and former Dolphins defensive coordinator Todd Bowles. This is actually kind of a change from the type of guys they usually hire. Most of the guys the Raiders have hired in the past are offensive minded guys (Hue Jackson, Tom Cable, Lane Kiffin, ect).
Allen did a hell of a job with Denver's defense this year, so he probably deserves a shot, but the Raiders (as I have said in the past) really need to just stick with someone. They have been through so many damn coaches it's crazy. They need to settle on someone and let him build. Hopefully, for their sake, this is the guy.
