More from Oakland Raiders
When Dennis Allen inherited the Oakland Raiders in 2012, the team was a laughingstock. When Dennis Allen was fired early in the 2014 season, the team was arguably, an even bigger laughingstock. To say that the organization didn’t progress – at all – during his tenure would be an enormous understatement. If anything, by the time Allen was given his walking papers, the team had actually regressed.
But you have to give Allen credit – he knows how to politic. In the run-up to the season opening game with the Raiders, Allen has been given several chances to blast his former employers.
