All signs seemed to point toward Dennis Allen remaining as the head coach of the Oakland Raiders for the 2014 season.

According to Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com, Raiders owner Mark Davis said that Allen is still the head coach after a meeting between the two parties on Tuesday night.

Allen wouldn’t speak to reporters about how the meeting with Davis went when leaving team headquarters Tuesday evening. The status of Allen’s assistant coaches appeared to be one of the holdups in talks between the two sides. Only offensive coordinator Greg Olson and linebackers coach Bob Sanders had contracts for next season and Allen was apparently only willing to give one-year extensions to the remaining assistants.

Whatever issues remained appear to have been smoothed over as Allen is set to return next season. The Raiders have posted consecutive 4-12 campaigns in the last two seasons under Allen.

He'll be gone after next season if the team doesn't improve. There will be no excuses. It's up to Reggie to get the guys we desparately need. What's sad is that Allen is relying on Reggie to make it happen. Well see!

No, they're each relying on the other to make it happen, and that's the blind leading the blind. It is a certain recipe for failure.

There are a lot of successful coaches that had losing seasons their first 2 years. then be successful afterwards. We'll see, I am still hopeful.

Mark Davis confirms that the team will go 2-14 and Allen will be fired halfway thru next year. What a waste! He should have been fired after the Eagles game.

We are FUCKED!!!!! All this will do is set the Raiders back more years...but fuck face davis don't give a shit....

[DeadRinger]

I read somewhere he's not firing them because he doesn't want to buy out their contracts.

Way to have that WIN AT ALL COSTS mentality there, Mark.

The rest of the AFC West are rolling around on the floor pissing themselves because they can't stop laughing.

The team needs to be sold.
