Oakland Raiders may try to hire Jim Harbaugh in 2015
By Josh Hill
Oakland Raiders brass fired Dennis Allen this past week and are already looking at a head coach who is reportedly on his way out the door in San Francisco.
There has been a lot of drama in San Francisco this year with Jim Harbaugh and the 49ers front office and it appears everything has come to a head.

A report from Jay Glazer on FOX NFL Sunday stated that the 49ers will be letting Harbaugh go at the end of the season even if he wins the Super Bowl. With that report, ears in Oakland perks, and somewhere mark Daviss lifted his head off his folded arms on his desk.
According to Ian Rapoport from NFL Network, the Oakland Raiders are a sleeper team to consider when talking about where Jim Harbaugh may coach next year.
Mentioned the #Raiders job and Jon Gruden… Jim Harbaugh is a name to watch there. Niners could get their compensation, Jim wouldn’t move

The Raiders were mentioned in a report earlier on Sunday morning that linked them to Mike Holmgren, but word that Harbaugh is out in San Francisco has changed the narrative.
Of course, only time will tell if Harbaugh and the Niners divorce, but if they do then the Oakland Raiders will skip across the bay and likely try to snag away the head coach they’ve been waiting a decade to find.
