Broncos’ Allen frontrunner for Raiders coaching gig

The Denver Broncos may be searching for a seventh defensive coordinator in seven years after all. Tweets Adam Schefter:

Raiders have identified Broncos DC Dennis Allen as the leading candidate to become their next HC. Raiders told other candidates they’re out.

It is interesting, though, that the Raiders made Dennis Allen a “leading candidate” but didn’t hire him outright. Does the search continue in Oakland, or could Allen be currently mulling a job offer from the Broncos’ AFC West rivals?
