Former Raiders head coach Jon Gruden could soon have another shot at doing what he's always wanted
The Las Vegas Raiders have had too many coaches over the last ten years. There's not really been enough continuity or consistency within the organization, and there's been a ton of turnover. And, that's not good, and it's why the Raiders have gone over 20 years since their last playoff win. It appears the last […]
The Las Vegas Raiders have had too many coaches over the last ten years. There's not really been enough continuity or consistency within the organization, and there's been a ton of turnover. And, that's not good, and it's why the Raiders have gone over 20 years since their last playoff win.

I can't see him being a Raiders head coach again, but man, someone should certainly hire him if given the chance.
Former NFL coach doesn’t see Jon Gruden joining Saints right now
The New Orleans Saints made a move that many fans asked for over the past couple of seasons. Their offense has been inconsistent, and there's too much talent to give more time to Pete Carmichael Jr..
