9. If Oakland doesn’t improve, will Dennis Allen get fired?
Well, reports suggest he was close to earning the axe after the 2013 season. In the offseason, the team added a bunch of veterans — Schaub, Justin Tuck, Lamarr Woodley — meaning ownership believes the team can be competitive. The Raiders are in the wrong division to think Tuck and Schaub are going to be difference-makers. If Allen’s job depends on how the team finishes in 2014, prepare for a new coach next year.
