Raiders Fire Head Coach Dennis Allen
Published at(OAKLAND, Calif.) — After a 0-4 start to the season, the Oakland Raiders have fired head coach Dennis Allen.
Allen ends his tenure like the six head coaches that preceded him, with a losing record. In his two-plus seasons under the helm, Allen went just 8-28.
Dating back to November 2013, the Raiders have lost ten-straight games and are 0-4 for the first time since 2006. The Raiders lost by 20 or more points in nine of Allen’s 36 games as coach.
“It’s a tough deal, especially for him,” tight end David Ausberry told ESPN. “As we all know, this is the NFL and it keeps growing. So we just all got to as a team pull together and keep going forward. That’s all we really can do.”
Since Allen was hired back in 2012, the Raiders have a .222 winning percentage, which is the second-worst mark in the NFL over that time.
Since 2001, the Raiders have had seven head coaches, the most in the NFL during that time.
