That was quick.

What a miserable team, and they are still haunted by undead Als ghost.

Guess that preseason win against the Hawks wasn't enough to save his job? 8)

They just announced it during post game as well.

Somewhere Tom Cable is laughing..............

In the wake of the firing of head coach Dennis Allen Monday night, one of the most logical choices for an interim replacement was assistant head coach and offensive line coach Tony Sparano.

Sparano served four years as head coach of the Miami Dolphins from 2008-2011 and has the most recent head coaching experience of any member of the Raiders coaching staff.

But according to Fallon Smith of CSNBayArea.com, Sparano will not be the interim head coach of the Raiders.

Only two other coaches currently on staff would seem to be viable options – offensive coordinator Greg Olson and senior offensive assistant Al Saunders.

I hear they did it's over the phone. How classless and chicken $hit.

Brutal franchise.

How are you supposed to win with no continuity up top

Oakland seems to be getting failure down to a science.

Guy was really in a no win situation. I don't think Vince Lombardi himself could have turned that mess around in 3 years.

"Hello, is this the Dennis Allen residence?"

"Yeah, this is he."

Mr. Dennis Allen, this is the HR department of the Oakland Raiders Football club. We've been asked to inform you that your employment has been terminated as of 5:00 am this morning. We have informed the usual leaks within the organization who can not be traced ever since the late, great Al Davis set up an intricate series of screened, bug free rooms where the information is transferred in highest secrecy. You will receive the rest of your year's salary, plus an office with two secretaries until the end of the year or until hired by another agency. You may contact your health insurance representative for Cobra benefits for which you are now eligible. If you have any questions, you may contact various ESPN and AP sportswriters for more information. Have a Raider Day.

Wow! That's some serious class right there. :sarcasm_on:

The Raiders...

At this point they are killing themselves by hacking coaches that don't have a chance to win. No one is going to want to be there if they haven't established themselves. It is going to take a lot of bank to get a guy worth a crap because some of these guys won't get another chance and they are going to want security.

They need to bring in a leader with a sack that has already made himself. One that wouldn't have a tarnished image after they fire the guy. New guys are just not getting the chance.

I think being coach is toughest job because you can be fired anytime. Good luck Denis Allen for next journey.
