"Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie said upon arrival in Mobile, Ala., for the Senior Bowl that he could have a head coach in place by the end of the week.

"It could happen by Saturday," McKenzie told CSN-Bay Area on Monday.

ESPN is reporting that while in Mobile for Saturday's all-star game, McKenzie will have a second interview with Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Dennis Allen. Allen is believed to be the first candidate to get a second interview.

McKenzie did not confirm or deny any candidates reported by various media outlets. Regarding an NFL Network report that an interview with Green Bay Packers assistant Winston Moss did not go well, McKenzie said, "That's far from the truth.""
