    "Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg interviewed with Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie on Friday for Oakland's head coaching vacancy, according to NFL.com.

    Mornhinweg spent the past nine seasons with the Eagles, the past eight as their assistant head coach/offensive coordinator.

    In Philadelphia, Mornhinweg directed one of the league's most productive offenses. He coached the Detroit Lions in 2001-02, compiling a 5-27 record.

    Mornhinweg attended Oak Grove High in San Jose and coached for the 49ers from 1997-2000.

    McKenzie and Mornhinweg could not be reached for comment. A Raiders official said the team won't comment on the coaching search until someone is hired.

    Miami Dolphins secondary coach Todd Bowles and Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Dennis Allen are the two other candidates known to have interviewed for the Raiders vacancy created by the firing of Hue Jackson on Jan. 10.

    ESPN reported that McKenzie interviewed New Orleans offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr. However, Saints general manager Mickey Loomis denied that an interview happened."
