Jon Gruden will be the next Raiders HC!!!

I thought it was a big mistake for the Raiders to fire Jack Del Rio...but replacing him with Gruden is an upgrade. Smart move...the Raiders are proving that they won't settle for mediocrity and they'll do whatever it takes to build a winner. Too bad a certain team in South Florida doesn't get it, choosing instead to embrace mediocrity at every turn.

LMAO!!!

Believe it or not that's going to majorly piss off almost every Vols fan, because for YEARS they've been just KNOWING Gruden would agree to coach there any year now and save their program. Seriously, there are 5-year old Youtube parody videos about this.

But he'll be a flop for the same reasons Cowher will if he ever coaches in the NFL again. The game's passed both of them by, big time. Gruden won't have a historically great D carrying him to the SB this time, and that's really the only season he did anything of significance besides get victimized by an absurd, obscure rule nobody knew even existed at the time. And that Raiders team was only 10-6.

Imagine Shula coming back to coach the Fins in the early '00s and it's basically the same thing.

I think Gruden will be successful. If you listen to him as an analyst, he is obviously very close to the game and is very much in tune with the modern game. And this time he has a QB. Carr is coming off a bad season, but he's a very good QB IMO.

Dick Vermeil took 15 years off, and came back and won a Super Bowl in his third season after taking over a sad-sack Rams team.  This is doable. Put it this way, I give the Raiders a far better shot at winning than the Dolphins.

Gruden's getting a 10 year contract worth about $100 million!!!!

Oh great, now every new coach will want at least that much

I really hate "the market" sometimes.

This is just Gruden being Gruden and the Raiders looking like they are desperate. The Raiders is stupid for getting rid of Del Rio and paying someone that hasn't coached in years that much money.
