The Facts:
According to a club and NFL sources, the Raiders have requested permission to interview newly-promoted OC Mike Tice for their head coaching position. In accordance with NFL rules, the Bears must grant permission, unlike the move they made Monday when they blocked secondary coach Jon Hoke from interviewing with the Vikings for their defensive coordinator position.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Tice served as the head coach of the Vikings from the end of the 2001 season to 2005, compiling a 33-34 record including the postseason. He’s worked his way back up the ranks since and now is proving to be a hot commodity. The Titans wanted to interview Tice to be their offensive coordinator last year, a move the Bears blocked. Now, the 52-year-old has his first crack at a head job since his Vikings experience. The Raiders have already interviewed former Dolphins interim coach Todd Bowles. McKenzie is expected to interview Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, Broncos coordinators Mike McCoy (offense) and Dennis Allen (defense) and Saints offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr. Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin, defensive coordinator Dom Capers and linebackers coach Winston Moss also have been mentioned as possible candidates
