The Oakland Raiders have fired head coach Dennis Allen after only four games this season with the team. Allen was 8-and-28 in three season while leading the Raiders. He was fired Monday evening, which happened over the phone, NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport reports.
The #Raiders fired Dennis Allen tonight over the phone. Really.

Yes the Raiders informed Dennis Allen he is fired over the phone rather than talk to him on an 11 hour flight home from London.
