The Facts:
Dolphins interim head coach Todd Bowles was the first person to interview for the Oakland Raiders' head coaching vacancy this weekend, and sources said the session went well. According to league sources, Bowles was assured that the Raiders job is not earmarked for longtime Green Bay Packers assistant coach Winston Moss, who many have linked to the job.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Bowles, who the Dolphins would like to keep as defensive coordinator if not their head coach, has strong ties to new Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie. The Raiders announced the dismissal of coach Hue Jackson on Tuesday, the same day they introduced McKenzie as their GM. Bowles is also a candidate for Minnesota's defensive coordinator position, according to NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora, while Dolphins players have told me they strongly support Bowles to be their head coach. Oakland also wants to interview Packers DC Dom Capers and OC Joe Philbin, according to sources. Philbin, like Bowles, has interviewed for the Miami job. The Packers loss to the Giants should move the process forward a little more quickly.
