FILE - In this Dec. 4, 2011, file photo, Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Dennis Allen appears before an NFL football game against the Minnesota Vikings in Minneapolis. The Oakland Raiders reportedly agreed Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2012, to hire Allen as their new head coach, breaking a more than three-decade stretch of offensive-minded head coaches for the franchise, according to Fox Sports and ESPN, with both outlets saying final details were still being worked out Tuesday night.

The Raiders formally announced Friday that former Denver defensive coordinator Dennis Allen will be Oakland’s new head coach. New general manager Reggie McKenzie decided earlier this week to hire Allen to replace the fired Hue Jackson as head coach. The two sides finalized the details Thursday. Allen will be formally introduced Monday.
