The announcement has been
expected since Tuesday. ... A league source told NFL Network's Michael Lombardi on Tuesday that the Raiders had hired Allen to replace the fired Hue Jackson as head coach. On Thursday, a person familiar with the process told the Associated Press that Allen and the Raiders had agreed to a four-year deal. Allen, 39, is the Raiders' seventh coach since 2003. He had been the Broncos' defensive coordinator for one season. He had previously worked for the New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons. The Raiders have gone nine straight seasons without a winning record or a playoff berth, just missing out on the AFC West title on tiebreakers with an 8-8 record last season.
