ALAMEDA – Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Mike Tice will not interview for the Raiders vacant head coaching job as originally planned.
Tice had been scheduled to meet with Oakland general manager Reggie McKenzie today at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala. But the Bears said Monday that interview won't take place because the Raiders have moved onto the "second phase" of their interview process.
McKenzie has been searching for a replacement for Hue Jackson, who was fired Jan. 10 – McKenzie's first day on the job – after going 8-8 in his only season as head coach.
The Raiders have been tightlipped about the search, but McKenzie told Comcast SportsNet Bay Area a hiring could come this week. McKenzie is at the Senior Bowl scouting for the draft.
McKenzie has already interviewed Denver defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, Philadelphia offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, former Miami interim coach Todd Bowles, New Orleans offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr. and Green Bay linebackers coach Winston Moss for the position.
