Marty Mornhinweg and Mike Tice became the latest reported candidates in the Raiders' search for a head coach to replace Hue Jackson.
Mornhinweg, the Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator and assistant head coach, will get an interview, according to the NFL Network and ESPN.
The Chicago Tribune reported the Raiders have requested permission to talk with Tice, who was recently promoted to offensive coordinator of the Chicago Bears, replacing Mike Martz.
Mornhinweg was head coach of the Detroit Lions in 2001-2002 and was fired with a 5-27 record. He was the quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator for the 49ers from 1997 through 2000.
Tice coached the Minnesota Vikings from the end of the 2001 season through 2005 and had a record of 32-33.
The Raiders have not confirmed any interviews or candidates since Reggie McKenzie took over as general manager on Jan. 6.
The Denver Post is reporting McKenzie will interview Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy and defensive coordinator Dennis Allen in Denver on Wednesday.
McCoy, according to ESPN, will have a second interview with the Miami Dolphins on Thursday. Miami will also reportedly have Todd Bowles, a Raiders candidate who was the Dolphins' interim head coach over the final three games of the season, in for a second interview.
Mornhinweg and Tice are the second and third reported Raiders candidates to have head-coaching experience. The other, Packers defensive
coordinator Dom Capers, was 48-80 with the Carolina Panthers and Houston Texans.
At Oak Grove High in San Jose, Mornhinweg led the Eagles to a Central Coast Section championship in 1978.
