"Denver defensive coordinator Dennis Allen agreed Tuesday night to become the head coach of the Raiders, according to multiple media reports, and has informed the Broncos of his decision.

Fox Sports, ESPN and the NFL Network were all reporting Allen was the choice of general manager Reggie McKenzie to replace Hue Jackson, fired after one season with an 8-8 record.

Allen met with McKenzie for a second interview in Mobile, Ala., and expressed hope in an interview with CSN Bay Area that things would go well.

"I'm looking forward to getting a chance to talk to Reggie and see how it goes. I want to be a head coach in the National Football League, and hopefully, I'll get that opportunity," Allen said."
