Report: Mornhinweg not going to Oakland
Daily News staff
The Oakland Raiders have narrowed their coaching search to three and Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg is not among them, according to CSNBayArea. The Associated Press has filed a similar report.
A person with knowledge of the situation said the Raiders are down to Broncos defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, Green Bay assistant head coach Winston Moss and a "mystery candidate." ESPN says the team is negotiating with Allen to fill the job.
Mornhinweg and Saints offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr. are no longer in the running, according to the source. Former Vikings head coach Mike Tice, scheduled to interview today, will not be interviewed.
Moss, a former Raider who has ties with new general manager Reggie McKenzie, has been presumed to be the front-runner all along.
Scuttlebutt at the Senior Bowl still has Mornhinweg as a possibility in Indianapolis, although the Colts have not asked permission to talk to him. Owner Jim Irsay has said that the Colts are expected to have a coach in place by the end of the week.
the first 6 years they all looked like wizards. AR, Uncle Joe, Jeff, everyone. The next 6 years not so much. The only winner is Jeff. The franchise worth $1B. That's why AR gets one more shot. The only coach from ARs first staff of wunderkinds, JJ, Taub, Harbaugh, Rivera, Frazier, Spags, Childress, is you guessed it Juan C. Funny how that all worked out.— oldBird- Maybe Marty wants Banna, Howie & Andy to sweat & send Washburn packing. Maybe Chucky has decided to return to the Bay.— Ed3
- Marty was passed over? Hard to believe, Harry.— Bruce in NM
- Please haters, I beg you to please come up with a solution. Instead of constantly complaining about Marty and his record setting offenses, why don't you come up with a real world solution to the Marty "problem?" Don't worry, I won't hold my breath because I know it won't ever happen. You would rather just complain than come up with actual solutions. Remember: If you aren't part of the solution, then you are part of the problem.— Penfold18
- You mean this wasn't Michael Vick's fault that Marty wasn't selected the Raiders head coach? Wow, that's a first!— bm2957
- Hahahahahahahana! It's like a sad joke, NOBODY is going to give Marty a head coaching job. He an Andry Reid yes man who will ALWAYS be known for deferring the kickoff in a sudden death overtime. He also represents the Eagles reach for the basement talent on our coaching staff and front office. Pathetic
- Moningwheg not leaving the Eagles? You mean Santa Claus DOESN'T exist?— HeelYes
- Andy Reid said there's no better season than the one when all you did was ate and ate.— HeelYes
- wow, I thought for sure that the dope-land raiders would fall for the "fat marty offensive genius" B.S. Guess we are stuck with him forever :-( I guess Andy needs someone to make him look slim— your_mom_says_hi!
- this just in, "mystery candidate" is the ghost of Al Davis....thank you, I'll be here all week....— your_mom_says_hi!
- The Eagles are going to the SB next year, might not win it but they are going. Why you ask because if they dont the fans in the local area will go and destroy the linc. I think the managment gets it the fans are not happy and they are now scared for their lives not to mention their jobs. Philly fans are mean.— urbnasty
- Certainly not The Gold Standard of Coaches! No One else wants these guys. No one wants to come here. Once Upon A Time, this was a respected franchise. Now it's an episode from "Lost".— Joe Nickels
- why, why ,why , why!!!!! I was hoping for this Knucklehead to leave— chilenos
- FIRE MORNINWEG, LET CASTILLO RUN THE O AND THE D!!!! He led the D to a TOP 8 ranking and if they weren't on the other side of 38 turnovers they would have been number 1.— Dallasrulez
