Oakland Raiders coach Dennis Allen’s job status is “tenuous at best,” according to ESPN.

The Raiders head into Sunday’s game at the New England Patriots at 0-2 and considered a longshot to win. Allen is 8-26 in his third season as the Raiders coach.

ESPN reported that Allen could be replaced soon on an interim basis by offensive line coach/assistant head coach Tony Sparano.
