Dennis Allen’s job security already in question in Oakland
Raiders coach Dennis Allen was already on the hot seat before the season started. That’s what happens when you go 4-12 in each of your first two seasons.
But after an 0-2 start succinctly summed up by
Charles Woodson saying, “
We suck,” the question is less whether this will be Allen’s last season in Oakland and more whether Allen will even make it to the end of the season.
Raiders owner Mark Davis is already privately expressing his displeasure, according to CSNBayArea.com, to the point where Allen’s tenure as Raiders coach may come to an end this season. According to the report, the Raiders already have a plan to promote offensive line coach Tony Sparano to head coach if Allen gets fired during the season. Sparano spent four seasons as head coach of the Dolphins and is a more experienced coach than Allen.
Allen knows his team needs to get better.
“We need change,” Allen said after Sunday’s loss to Houston. “We need to do better, because we’re a better football team than what we put out on the field today.”
Allen is running out of time to show he’s a better football coach than what his team has put on the field in his first two-plus seasons.
