Raiders fire Allen. Jay Glazer broke it.
PFT -
Tony Sparano is set to become the Raiders’ interim head coach after the firing of Dennis Allen.
After several conflicting reports emerged over the last 12 hours about who the Raiders would go with as Allen’s replacement, Jim Trotter of ESPN reported on Tuesday that it’s Sparano, who had the title of assistant head coach and offensive line coach on Allen’s staff.
Sparano previously served as the head coach of the Dolphins from 2008 to 2011.
If the reports are correct that Raiders General Manager Reggie McKenzie wanted Sparano but owner Mark Davis preferred Al Saunders, that would indicate that Davis still has confidence in McKenzie’s decision-making. Which is odd, considering that most of McKenzie’s decisions as Oakland’s G.M. haven’t panned out.
