ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Raiders have been given permission to interview Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg for their vacant coaching job.
Mornhinweg’s candidacy was first reported by NFL Network on Tuesday. A person with knowledge of the planned interview confirmed it to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team was not publicizing candidates.
Mornhinweg has spent the past nine seasons as an offensive assistant with the Eagles. He previously went 5-27 in two seasons as Detroit’s head coach in 2001-02.
New general manager Reggie McKenzie has already been granted permission to interview Denver coordinators Mike McCoy and Dennis Allen, and New Orleans offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr. He is also believed to be interested in talking to a number of assistants with Green Bay, where McKenzie previously worked.
