Raiders Denied Interview with Coach Joe D

The Oakland Raiders were denied permission to interview Dallas Cowboys special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis for an assistant head coaching position, according to a source.

Recently hired Raiders coach Dennis Allen worked with DeCamillis in Atlanta from 2002-to-2005 where a good relationship formed. Dan Reeves, DeCamillis' father-in-law, was the head coach with the Falcons at that time.

yeah this

I thought denying permission was like a huge no no.

I think it's seen as more of a "no no"

because teams who think they’ll generally be denied position just don’t ask for it in the first place.

They can deny permission unless it is a HC spot. But the coaches don't like it when they are denied of course.

I think it may be payback

I thought last year when Ryan came in and wanted to interview some assistants that the Raiders denied them last year.

I believe the rule states that permission is not required unless it is a lateral move

So I am not sure that the assistant head coach job thing has 100% validity. But then again I think that it needs to be a COMPLETE upgrade to not need permission, like dbacks coach to D coordinator or coordinator to head coach, etc.

yeah the NFL stance

is that Assisstant HC is nothing – there are HCs, special teams coordinators, OCs, DCs, and then their support staff; 3 tiers of hierarchy on the ends that matter and that’s about it. Rarely are people fighting over position coaches
