Killer_Demo · Jan 5, 2018

Expected to be announcement on Tuesday that Jon Gruden will return to coaching the silver and black. Lets see how he adapts to modern NFL game since his last coaching stint. Great Pick up for Raiders. He is loved in Oakland and the raiders organization

He can thank the taxpayers of LV for that 1.

A decade away from the game is a long time but it's the Raiders, might as well take a swing.

Not worth it, and he better Win and Win quick, or his legacy will be tarnished quickly

Overrated coach. Can build a team and evaluate talent good enough though.

This won't last. There will be a buyout and Gruden will end up rejoining his former partner Mike Tirico on NBC Sunday Night Football. It is NBC's dream scenario. Tirico will be replacing Al in the next couple of years. He will be paired with Collingsworth. As soon as the Gruden-Davis marriage sours Jon will be heading back to TV. Jon and Mike are still young and will be NBC's team for the next 10-15 years. One of the reasons Gruden is leaving ESPN is his unhappiness with Sean McDonough. Jon was really close with Mike Tirico was really sad to see him leave ESPN for NBC. There was no way this change could have happened now. ESPN had a clause that he could only break contract for head coaching job. I'll bet there was also a clause that he couldn't join another TV crew for at least 2 or 3 years. That is perfect for all parties. Collingsworth is 58, Gruden is 55, Tirico is 51. After 4 years Gruden realizes he doesn't want the stress of the NFL and returns to broadcasting. He would only be 59. You give Jon the great match-ups that NBC has and he would be in heaven. He was stuck with some real stinkers on ESPN. Plus he would have the chance to do 3 or 4 Super Bowls. They could even keep Chris around and have a three man booth but I think the cost would be prohibitive. I don't think Chris would mind leaving once Al retires.

This isn't the Ball family. Gruden going to want every dime of that contract.

I think Gruden was like.....10 years 100 mill and ownership stake. But your right he was comfy in the booth.

Marc davis: well okay, yes

Gruden: oh shit. Okay.

Deal.

10 years....100 million....LMAO

You can't turn that down.

Dumb ass Raiders.

People talk this guy up like he's Bill Parcells.

He'll be calling Monday night football games in 2022

carlspackler · Jan 5, 2018

Ten years?

No pressure/incentive to win.

A Vegas residency like GaGa's

Killer_Demo · Jan 5, 2018

Reports of partial ownership stake are false

Bourn · Jan 5, 2018

Way overrated. He has a 54% winning rate. That blows. 10m for 54% Win rate? Terrible decision by Oak

Bourn · Jan 5, 2018

Belichick has a 68% Win rate and gets 7.5m year.

Gruden knows how to keep a team in contention.

Congrats on the win

With less than 30 seconds left the Raiders completed a 6-yard pass for a TD winning it 24-21.

Year 4

Year 4 of Jon Gruden’s second tour through Raider nation should prove to be a pivotal one for the Super Bowl-winning head coach. Gruden has yet to get Las Vegas into the postseason since returning to the sidelines in 2018. Overall, the franchise hasn’t played a postseason game since 2016 under head coach Jack Del Rio.

That may have been the most gutless chain of events I have ever seen on a football field.

Kicking on second down from fairly far out?

And on the td, it looked to me Carr was instructed to throw the ball away unless someone is wide open.

Just look the way he dropped back
